Sunset at U.S. Steel Gary Works

[@libertyforever836]

I was 18 when I started there in 1972. Brings back thousands of memories….

[@WashingtonDistrictRailfan]

I could watch these for hours

That place is like a city within a city.

This is a great video of the Gary steel mill and what a spectacular drone flight. This plant is huge. So many different area's within. I love those plant switchers. The rail yard itself was cool to see including the locomotive shop and I was excited to see Grand Trunk Western SD40-2 #5936 working the mill. The final scene at sunset was beautiful with the mill all lit up and the bottle/torpedo cars glowing with molten slag. I love steel mills.Excellent video !

[@njunderground82]

I love how you can see the molten iron in the torpedo cars!

Another incredible video! Love these steel mill videos!

Thank you! They’re some of my favorite to film!

[@thomasmackowiak]

I enjoyed this video of the switch engines working at the U.S.S. Steel Gary Works ats the sun was setting on 1 October 2023, Sam! It is fascinating to see all the buildings at Gary Works. The setting sun was beautiful. (Posted 15 July 2024 at 1845 CDT.)

Beautiful video

[@Steven_Williams]

Best one yet Sam!

[@SamLovesTrains]

Appreciate it!

[@1Nanerz]

Really good footage. That’s also the coolest diesel shop I think I’ve ever seen, with all the tracks going in on an angle.

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thank you. Very unique locomotive shop for sure. Glad I flew over that way!

[@Nurvington]

Great video really enjoyed it!

[@pinbot454]

Nice work!

[@xray606]

Very nice. The low light reminds me of the opening of Blues Brothers, which I think was Gary. Are you able to see a number on that J cab on your side?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thanks. I thought of those Blues Brothers shots when I rewatched my video! I think those were shot at BP Whiting and U.S Steel South Works. The J caboose was #10 based off my photos.

[@xray606]

@@SamLovesTrains OK thanks.

[@johnalder6028]

Very nice. Will you show it in the dark all lit up?

[@alessandroh.vargas6236]

One more great video! Congrats!

[@centraliowarailproductions2810]

Nice video!

[@ilya.kortev]

There should be a scenario map like this in Derail Valley.

[@NorthernElevations]

Very cool! Much larger than the tiny steel mill I work at 😅 Is that a Mavic or Air you're flying?

[@SamLovesTrains]

Thanks. I fly a Mavic Mini 3 Pro!

Cool to see where the coke cars I load go to

He needs more video of your dinghies butch

[@John-yp6hb]

Has kind of a Blade Runner feel towards the end.

[@wolstenholme100]

How do get your sound please?

[@SamLovesTrains]

I record sound from the ground and then dub it over the drone footage.

[@jKLa]

Steel mills tend to be incredibly loud and the furnaces and sometimes rolling mills (which use extreme presure to roll sheet steel) can often be heard clearly from several miles away at night. That deep oscillating sort of matalic drone is one I am personally familiar with!

[@WAL_DC-6B]

Wow, this is nice how you can get around U.S. Steel's very tight security, snoop down in and take video of mill facilities that even the employees aren't allowed to record. Thanks for sharing!

[@protosheep]

man this looks like so much pollution but its beautiful ❤

[@Enjoyer.762]

It looks like jobs. Or would you rather these people be out of work and poor?

[@WAL_DC-6B]

@@Enjoyer.762 You should have seen this area back in the 1960s with all the orange smoke produced by the open-hearth furnaces that used to exist at that time.

[@jKLa]

I used to live near a mini mill that covered several large city blocks and produced a lot of blue smoke and was deafeningly loud nearby when the plant's electric ark furnace got fired up. You could hear it at night well over a mile away!
