Hello,
I am trying to understand all of this GREAT info about Acme steel and
Wisconsin steel.
In the late 70s, I often took extended lunches in the Hammond area. I
tried to hit Chrome Crankshaft and Yard Center during this time.
Sometimes I would go up by Rail to Water transfer. I can remember long
strings of MoPac SD-40s at Wi. steel. I also remember a couple of
strings of Reading 3-bay covered hoppers.( no pix )
One thing that really stands out is a HUGE steel mill and foundry that
had a sign near it that said International Harvester. I remember being
in awe the first time I saw it. And shocked a few years later when I
saw an empty lot where it once was.
Are folks saying that, that was not IH? It was Wi. steel ? Could
someone cover this again, a little bit slower for us non region
types???? Mark
