Photo comment By Wayne H.: A real shame that a great part of America's industrial age is not protected somehow for future generations to see and experience or even just the thought about what it was like in full operation.
Photo comment By JoAnn: As you say, so much of our past history bittersweet. Thank you for the insight you provide us.
Photo comment By Dave Balun: Worked at the Burns Harbor plant on lake Michigan in Indiana. Helped pay for college.
