IT MAYBE AN AWESOME SIGHT TO EVERYONE, BUT THE PEOPLE OF STEUBENVILLE & MINGO JUNCTION. ONCE THE ORE IS ALL SCOOPED UP & LOADED FOR SPARROWS POINT, THE RUSSIANS CAN START CUTTING UP THE BLAST FURNACE FOR SCRAP & SHIPPING IT EAST FOR MELT DOWN INTO SLABS. THUS ELIMINATING STEEL PRODUCTION IN THE OHIO VALLEY. THEN EVERYONE CAN CATCH THE SLAB TRAINS GOING TO MINGO FOR FINISHING TO ROLLS. I GUESS THESE WILL BE ANOTHER "AWESOME SIGHT" FOR THE NON-STEEL PEOPLE.
