Sunset at ET
URR 9 sits out another sunset at USS' ET works while waiting for the green light to come on at the Caster meaning its time link up and go do some switching. In the Background is the BOP shop and the massive ore cranes.
In the distance you can see two Ohio mobile cranes that USS owns but whats interesting is the large metal structure that is above them that doesn't look like anything but to carry pipes across the tracks, which is what it is now, but back in the B&O days it was a very large signal bridge that crossed over the mainline that split the mill in half. Where the ore cars are is the old B&O mainline and at one time there was a bridge behind me that allowed the URR to run up and over the B&O to get to the other side of the mill. The bridge is still in, well kind off a lot of sections have been removed over time but a large portion still stands.
