The ore ws dumped in through the top by way of a bridge that once crossed over the road. The iron was removed from one side, while the lighter slag was removed from the other.

I am all about a combustion engine........LOL If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
