Friday Morning Shift
Freezing temperatures dropped onto Pennsylvania during the first week of February evident by the frozen over canal along the Cleveland Cliffs Steelton works. Thankfully i didnt have to wait around in the cold long at all to run into the Steelton switcher, almost immediately finding them switching along the canal.
The Steelton guys used the 70 to switch around the mill this day, one of the few remaining PBNE painted switchers still in active use at steel mills across Pennsylvania, a couple are used on the LVRM (former Bethlehem Steel) and Conemaugh & Black Lick in Johnstown. I'd say that many of these operations fly under the radar of most photographers, though not very exciting to most people due to most of the ops being random or just switching around, I've always had an interest in the gritty mill settings that these railroads operate in.
