Once the banks of the Monongahela and Ohio River
in Pennsylvania were seamed with steel mills.
Although many of them were already closed
when I visited the area in 1992, I could still
find more than 50 blast furnaces within a single week!

Bethlehem Steel Works, what a great name!
This used to be one of the world's largest steel mills,
and I was lucky enough to see it still in operation.
