The Carrie Furnaces national Historic Landmark in Rankin, PA, the only preserved steel industry blast furnace plant in the US, will be open for tours three days a week from April until October. Blast furnaces were heavily dependent upon railroads for handling of materials into and out of the plant, and much of that rail infrastructure still remains. 1930s era Wellman Seaver Morgan car dumper, handling of iron ore via standard gauge self propelled transfer and scale cars, transport of molten iron via Kling and bottle type hot metal cars etc. Come see our collection of historic steel industry rail equipment at home in its natural habitat. http://www.riversofsteel.com/things-to-do/tours/ |

That certainly got the kid's attention. Just to clarify, does the site accept National Park Passes for tours, or just to the museum itself (which sounds well worth visiting if you're ANYWHERE in the area!) |
