Remnants of an old factory.

Very nice shot Charles.  I'm surprised they haven't cleared off the old remnants and built something new there.

I'm not sure what they're planning but there is a plan.

With land to build on so hard to find I'm sure there are plans in the works.  

Another cool spot to fly fpv - if a bit repetitive

I love those arches. I would have liked to bring a fashion model and do a shoot there but it was locked up.

Good place for a convenience store????

lnteresting shot. Have the arches been conserved for a specific purpose, or are they just awaiting the bulldozer?

I don't know the area is gated off and kept fairly well.

It seems so. Many people come to visit and use their venue for affairs There is thriving industry adjacent to the property.

Yes I was so busy checking out the steel mill I didn't even look at the rails. But they were behind the Steel mill. I bet the were very active when BS was manufacturing.

The rails run behind the steel mill. They were used to ship steel all over the country before it was closed.

There is a very interesting rail situation there with the tracks crossing the river.
Looks like they are still in use.

They still are. Probably not to the extent that  they were used when the steel mill was in business. But the trains still move through there.

That is not a good moment for freight activity usually.

Yes, unfortunately the weekend I have for leisure activity.

It's a tough balance and music is your first love when it comes to a hobby.

You are right about that.
85% of my hobby time is for music. Maybe even more.
