Author Name: N/A Title: Hot Metal: Steel Mills & Railroads in North America Book Condition: CD Publisher: Prairie Works Seller ID: CD-1005 CD-Rom/DVD with 852 images, 96 minutes. An intimate look inside the fence of a Chicago-area steel mill. The tour starts at the coke works to witness a fiery push of incandescent coke out of an oven and the spectacular steam clouds as the hot coke is cooled down. The next stop is at the blast furnace to watch 3,000 molten iron tapped from the furnace on the casthouse floor, with its incredible heat and flying sparks. Hot metal cars are moved into position to be filled underneath the casthouse floor. On the Highline trestle in front of the furnaces, raw materials are brought in and the scale car underneath brings them to the skip hoists. The molten slag flows out of the furnace into a pit for cooling. Other sights in the works include a pig iron caster, the two blast furnaces (one with a brick casthouse), an old hot metal car, SW-1001 locomotives and myriad other details inside the plant.The second part of the video visits 48 steel mills & foundries ñ some gone - in Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania (including the Monongahela Valley), West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Utah, Colorado, Ontario and Nova Scotia, along with some Lake Erie ports. The railroads include the Birmingham Southern, Bessemer & Lake Erie, in-plant steel mill railroads and Pittsburgh mainline trains near the mills.
