PBNE Bethlehem Steel

The PBNE was Bethlehem Steel's plant railroad at their namesake mill in Bethlehem, PA. It did most (but not all) of the in-plant switching, as well as receiving and delivering cars from Class 1 connections. Visible in the video are pouring of hot iron into "torpedo ladles" and tapping of slag from the blast furnaces into slag pots for disposal at the slag dump. I never was able to connect with the slag dumping operation on video. but fortunately someone else did and posted it on YouTube. Much of the buildings that form the backdrop for this footage are now gone, with the exception of "Blast Furnace Row".
