[quote user="G Mack"] <p>I see a lot of rail stamped "Steelton". Where is this mill located? </p><p>Gregory</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>On the Susequehanna River (east bank) just east of Harrisburg, Pa. Steelton dates to 1867; it was a Bethlehem Steel mill, purchased by ISG when Bethlehem went bankrupt; ISG was absorbed by Mittal Steel (headquartered in the Netherlands). This is one of two active mills in the U.S., the other being the former Colorado Fuel & Iron (CF&I) mill now owned by Evraz Group S.A. (a Russian steel company).</p><p>I think in 1900 there were more than 40 mills rolling rail in the U.S.</p><p>S. Hadid</p>
