This is the location of the former Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company (YS&T) steel mill known as the Campbell Works in Struthers, Ohio. Campbell and Struthers are two small towns next to each other.

I worked there. At the end of the bridge was the "first chance last chance bar". A place to cash you pay check. Many people parked their cars on the Struthers side. On day turn that bridge was the hotest place. A frozen mug of beer and a shot was great. Duquene Beer, have a Duke. Tasted so great after work on a hot day. I worked the Open Hearth. I'm 77 years old,but remember it well.

We actually use the track that runs into that building now, but only up to the fence.

Cool old steel bridge. Must say I've never seen a deck on a bridge like that one. Thinking that bridge seen planning of coal hauled over it. Could be a possibility as to why the deck is like it is. To keep the coal from falling in the river. Not positive about the time era when the environmentalist expressed concern on that issue. Making a lot of railroads deal with the loss of coal in waterways.. About a year ago I seen a video on the mill there. In the video it showed vintage pictures of the Old Mill at the turn of the century. Quite possibly that wall of concrete is part of the foundation of one of the Old Mill buildings. Yeah the top of it does look like a rail bed. Possibly it was used as one before the invention of the conveyor that carried the coal into the mill.. fascinated with these old steel mills. Had family that worked at Youngstown the Indiana facility. Never seen the one in your video actually working those Old Mills were engineering wonders in their time... Thanks for sharing this video I enjoyed it.. Nice to see that the property is kept up nice..
