RST Coke Works

One of my favorite spots ever. I have dreams and day dreams about it and. Closed in the 1970s and is one of the best preserved remains of a by product works from it's time. Some parts are from 1925, others are from 1952. Today it is still an active site, with many of the building re-purposed to as artist studios, or to serve to surrounding quarry.

The coal handling system transferred coal from incoming railroad cars into large storage bins directly atop one end of the coke ovens where the coal could be loaded into the ovens as needed. The coke handling system took coke from the ovens and either moved it by conveyors to the blast furnace stock bins or loaded it onto railroad cars for shipment to other RS Corporation blast furnaces and to outside customers. The gas collecting main pulled gas from the individual coke ovens, via goose-neck pipes, and sent it to the by-product plant. The purpose of the by-product plant was two-fold. Primarily it was intended to clean the coke-oven gas, the most valuable by-product produced. Secondarily, it was intended to remove as many other marketable by-products from the coke-oven gas as economically feasible, routing the gas via a gas pipe line, past a series of sub-systems, each of which each processed the gas in a specific way.
