This is the location of the former Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company (YS&T) steel mill known as the Campbell Works in Struthers, Ohio. Campbell and Struthers are two small towns next to each other.

Interesting to see what remnants remain of some of Youngstown Sheet & Tube's steel mill facilities. Thanks for sharing! Whiting Co. (now of Monee, IL) has a Canadian subsidiary that still manufactures their "Hydro-Arc" furnaces. Nice to see some people went through the trouble to preserve the little one that you show on display.
I worked there. At the end of the bridge was the "first chance last chance bar". A place to cash you pay check. Many people parked their cars on the Struthers side. On day turn that bridge was the hotest place. A frozen mug of beer and a shot was great. Duquene Beer, have a Duke. Tasted so great after work on a hot day. I worked the Open Hearth. I'm 77 years old,but remember it well.
If you want to know more about Youngstown Sheet and Tube get a copy of my book, “Steeltown Down,” available a
T Amazon Books. It’s about my 43 year career at both Sheet and Tube as well as RG Steel in Warren and what it was like to be one of the last three employees at Sheet and Tube on its’ last day and the very last employee at RG Steel.
Hi my buddy Don Sturgis one of last employees rg steel im in warren even blast furnace is down now gone to Appalachian trails
Youngstown used to be a great place.
Till Black Friday.
I grew up around the mills. Dad worked at sheet in tube. Wci. Etc.
I sure miss it.
It was fun until that horrible Friday and nafta.
It was actually MONDAY, BLACK MONDAY SEP. 1977.

Your right. I went to fix that and my kid said something and I didn’t.
I remember that day. The smell. The noise. The $$$
I moved from Y-town in 2000.
I got tired of watching the area go downhill. Used to be a great place
We actually use the track that runs into that building now, but only up to the fence.
That wall could be part of the blast furnace rail system
Cool old steel bridge. Must say I've never seen a deck on a bridge like that one. Thinking that bridge seen planning of coal hauled over it. Could be a possibility as to why the deck is like it is. To keep the coal from falling in the river. Not positive about the time era when the environmentalist expressed concern on that issue. Making a lot of railroads deal with the loss of coal in waterways.. About a year ago I seen a video on the mill there. In the video it showed vintage pictures of the Old Mill at the turn of the century. Quite possibly that wall of concrete is part of the foundation of one of the Old Mill buildings. Yeah the top of it does look like a rail bed. Possibly it was used as one before the invention of the conveyor that carried the coal into the mill.. fascinated with these old steel mills. Had family that worked at Youngstown the Indiana facility. Never seen the one in your video actually working those Old Mills were engineering wonders in their time... Thanks for sharing this video I enjoyed it.. Nice to see that the property is kept up nice..
How we ever think we could win a world war without all this stuff got rip out of here threw the year's
the decline is sad
oh well.. the peasants were told by the tv and politicians it was all ok to ship jobs and plants overseas... And they believed and so this is Progress
get in that building sneak in do a video on that instead of on what you showed
There are millions of these bridges in the world why show these ?
