Industrial Valley: Railfanning the Steel Mill Railroad CWRO and the Class 1's that service Cliffs

[@paulbergen9114]

A winner from start to finish. I'm glad the kids are seeing a steel mill as we still should be proud of American industry. That pacing scene as the CROW backed up was perfect all the way especially as you crossed over the tracks and looked at the bridges. The CSX train going by the rusty buildings and then the Fantastic Leaf swirl with the downtown buildings in the background was top notch and just the sudden sunshine and shimmering pool of water was a great finish. That street you were on inside the mill is also a fantastic drive at night you feel like you have left Earth. Again a fantastic video

Thank you! Glad we can drive through here and not upset anyone filming. Nolan shot the pacing scene while I drove.

@@Enjoyer.762 not really. It’s a public road.

[@Enjoyer.762]

@@ScottTaipaleRail i.e. "loophole" i.e. public road i.e. you can't get charged with trespassing no matter if the crews hate railfans and video recording. I was using the term loophole as a joke.

The one sw1001 looks like an alco with that radiator

Great the steel mill scene and the train with the torpedo cars for the liquid steel. Fantastically filmed.

[@1940limited]

That's some video! Love a heavy industrial setting and slow moving trains. The beginning reminded me of the Philadelphia, Bethlehem And New England RR. Lots of switches and diamonds, too. This is great railroading.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you. Mills sure have interesting railroads.

Those hot metal cars are awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

They're cool to watch but we can feel the heat radiating from them!

Lovely switchers

thanks!

@@ScottTaipaleRail you are very much welcome! :)

[@NWORails]

They have a neat look, I also like the abandoned passenger cars and the F7 units you found.

[@Enjoyer.762]

MU-ed switchers go Brrr lol

[@Chessie1985]

Awesome video of the old steel mill and trains Scott!!

[@LunarEquity93]

Great video are those engines and cars abandoned they could use a pretty good paint job

[@1940limited]

Were hey E8s or E9s? Would be nice to see them restored.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

They're at a museum but privately owned. The graf is encouraged because paint slows the rust!

Nice video but I'm not familiar with what's going on, it would be helpful to have a voiceover or captions.

[@jimd.6152]

I agree!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

I've been debating using AI narration on scenes. I don't want to hear myself stutter and mumble through the videos!

[@Enjoyer.762]

They're making steel. You can easily Google it.

[@kelvintorrence5994]
