Being from Baltimore, I remember when Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point just outside the city was a booming place. I worked for the local gas and electric utility and always enjoyed going there to inspect a new gas line construction project. There was always train action going on and tracks ran everywhere! Everything at Sparrows Point - roads, buildings, track roadbeds - had a reddish brown color from the steel making emissions. Your drone shots brought back memories of those times.

Hey DJ your best steel vid yet,saved to my list. Trix do some kits in HO but mega pricey. Looks like a lot of scratch building ahead for me. Problem with a lot of blast furnaces and other structures is space and the height if you are multi deck like mine so the steel backdrop would go nicely next to my high line.

Blast furnaces turned iron ore into steel. Scrap was mostly remelted in the basic oxygen furnaces, otherwise known as BOFs.
@usedframes6713 Жыл бұрын
Technically, BFs turn iron ore into pig iron. And then the pig iron is turned into steel in BOFs.

Beautiful presentation for the Bethlehem Steel Tourist site! It looks so good it's more like an artist's conception rather than would likely result in a completed structure. I like that there is a section of the high line that has been restored to where people can walk on the surface the way it was in operation. This project must of taken immense effort and dedication to pull-off. It's odd to look past the site and not see a speck of the supporting steel industry left around.

Hi DJ I was just there yesterday, and it’s truly amazing to see. I was there to visit the Lehigh and Keystone valley RR club and that was a massive absolutely beautiful layout. Then we visited this site right after. And you it’s true , you see a lot but not the way you show it here. Great job. Sorry I don’t to FB and other social media. But would love to speak to you about so much more. Thanks Sam T.

As always DJ, a great video again!👍 It's also a bit of industrial archaeology. A bit sad that they closed the blast furnaces. It's the same here in Belgium. I live 30 km west of Liege, where some furnaces are still active. Same kind of images. Curious and looking forward to see your videos about Denver. So you crossed the Mississippi?😂

Between the Lehigh and the Co. museum, it’s a very tuff call. They are both as equally impressive and each have there own signature about them. But each one left me in awe. I recommend to anyone visiting these areas go see these layouts, I have seen many beautiful layouts myself but nothing even compares to either of them. Looking forward to seeing your other videos in Sept. the only other layout that can compare to the Lehigh and Keystone or the Co model rr museum is the Miniature Wunderland in Hamburg Germany.

@simonetaormina7080 11 ай бұрын
@@djstrains don’t know if you ever heard the real story about the Wunderland but it was started by those two brothers by accident, they were already millionaires and were left that building as an inheritance and couldn’t sell it. So they started a model RR for fun and before long they had lines out side. The Airport you see on there many videos cost over 2 million just for that. It’s a bucket list thing for me but doubtful.

Thank you so much for this video. You have now given me hours of research looking at what this once was. I would appreciate a google maps location(link) in the desecration. I love looking a maps while watching the videos of historic places. This also looks like it would be a fun FPV spot, other than losing a quad :( I would love exploring this place, yes, I do know it's off limit and I will probably never get there anyway, but it would still be cool.

Here's the thing, you'll probably take rt 22 west. so you will have to get off, get on to see some sights. Some are off of rt. 30 like ligonear, and greensburg.

I went to work for Railroad Friction Products in 2000, which is a part of Wabtec (formerly WABCO). We made brake shoes. We bought steel from Bethlehem Steel, but they decided we were too small and stopped supplying us. We switched to Nucor Steel, who had figured out how to make high grade steel from scrap. Eventually other people did this, and now Bethlehem Steel is no more.
