This panorama gives a partial idea of the view from the ore bridge, a gantry crane that rides on rails over the ore yard. If I had extended the panorama left-right and down, you'd get a better idea of the incredible view from up there.

Iron ore, coke, and limestone come up to the top of the blast furnace in skip cars and are dumped into a funnel-shaped feed hopper above the blast furnace, for "cooking" into molten iron.

Rail cars carrying iron ore would roll through here, the giant arms above the tracks would pick up a rail car and dump it over the wall at right, to go into the ore yard. This panorama is best viewed in Google Earth.

This is a 360 degree panorama from one of the four bleeder valves above Blast Furnace 6. From up here you can see down to much of the furnace complex. This panorama is best viewed in Google Earth. See more photos I shot that day: picasaweb.google.com/111415749895648787719/CarrieFurnaceVisit201197
