Carrie Furnace Hard Hat Tours
$25.00
SOLD OUT!
Take a tour of the Carrie Furnaces of U.S. Steel's Homestead Works and experience the scale and majesty of the Mon Valley's last standing blast furnace.
Walk into the Ore Yards where hundreds of tons of raw materials were off loaded from rail cars and barges to feed the blast furnaces that smelted iron 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Travel through the towering Hot Stoves, the "lungs of the blast furnace" that blew super-heated air into the furnaces to begin the smelting process.
Step into the Cast House, where men and molten metal met every time the furnace was tapped. See where the flow of molten iron would fill waiting Torpedo Cars for the iron's trip across the Rankin Hot Metal Bridge to the Homestead Works where the steel making process was completed.
