Rivers of Steel - Homestead

	The story of the violent steel strike of 1892 at Andrew Carnegie's steel mill is told here in a fascinating factual tale.

	We were lucky to capture the freight train crossing the Monongahela river.

	There's nothing like a train to add a sparkle to the gloom.

	When we visited, I was glad to see there was a school visit going on. They extracted the Michael out of my accent. That means they made fun of my dialect. lol

	The story of the strike is well illustrated.

	The Carrie Furnace Steeler mill from Homestead.

	Wasn't easy to find our way to the mill. Well, to be honest. We never made it the first year!

	From the gloomy, wet November 2010.

	To a bright, still autumn day in 2012.
