I believe the only steel works that was seen in this film that exists today is the Indiana Harbor Works at E. Chicago, IN. The Campbell, Briar Hill and South Chicago works are long gone with perhaps a few buildings remaining.

I’m from Massachusetts, and I’ve laid more pipe than anyone in Youngstown!

By the way .Jimmy never got the new bike either

Sucker, Jimmy got a job in the same mill,till it tank out,ran into the ground ,and cheap import s

Living in the U.K., I wasn’t familiar with the Youngstown story. This outstanding video gave me a great insight. It’s very sad that workers can be discarded in the global market and almost completely forgotten. We here in the U.K are following the now well trodden path of exporting our jobs worldwide, we are fast becoming a service economy as our engineering background disappears.

I worked in the Campbell works mills when I was student, during the summers. It was fascinating -- and really tough and sometimes scary. We had to eat salt pills every few hours to stop from fainting in the heat. It gave me a lifelong respect for workers even though I became a professional.

And to think it would all come crashing down just 16 years later. And the open hearth and blooming mill was already fast becoming obsolete. This was about the time when Weirton was building the basic oxygen furnace and continuous strip casters. And now ALL the mills are gone forever thanks to the global economy.

Interesting vintage film shot from CLE industrial films co.the same year I was born👶and raised in N.E.Ohio.Am very proud of our past and do miss our industrial might we once had here.🏭

Globalist hate Youngstown. Love steel and American should make alot more.When the dollar fails we will make more of everything.

That’s outstanding! Thank you for sharing.

This is great! Thanks for sharing!

Any of this shot in the Youngstown mills?
