Nice web site and fabulous book. Its helped my modeling skills as well as my understanding of the vast history of steel in this area. I live about 30 miles from cleveland and I druve through the mill as often as i can. I have been fortunate to get tours of both sides of the river. Thanks and good luck with any future books.

I grew up near the mining community of Bobtown, Pa., which was owned by J&L steel. I recently moved back to the area after being gone 30 years and noticed there is very little left of J&L.

I found this site to help out greatly in my research of the labor issue that was found in the beaver valley area in the last hundred years. I started looking for info due to my report that I am doing for a labor class at RMC

Loved your book. I wish you had gone in to more detail about the changes at J&L Aliquippa as the plant was downsizing, but as a corporate history I think it's the best I've read. Thanks.

Don, What a site!! My Uncle Jack Abee spent his working life with J and L Steel after the war. I can remember all to well going with my aunt or cousins to pick him up or take him to work when we would go to spend the summer. Those impressions of Beaver Valley and the mills ill live with me for ever.

Great site. Please don't take offense, but I think some dates are mixed-up in the paragraph on the Hennepin Works. I think 1996 should be 1966, and 1987 should be 1967, if the plant started operation in 1968.

Don, Great article in the RI SIG Journal! I just joined and I'm from Aliquippa!!! I lived there most of my childhood life (1955 to 69) and I worked there summer of '68. I even got to uncouple a train! I'm looking for Industries serviced by the P&LE RR (smaller insustries than, say, J&L). Specifically along or near the trackage between Aliquippa, Beaver and New Castle, PA. Any ideas? I have the topo maps and can see some of these smaller industries, but no names or what they were, or what RR cars and goods they brought in and out. Thanks, Great site and great article ‹ I'm sending it to my dad. He worked at J&L for 25 years! Bill Dye San Jose, CA

Don, great web site. I worked at Crucible Steel in Midland from 1963 thru 1967 after High School. Saw J & L Steel in Aliquippa only from the outside. Will be interested in further Articles on the Steel industry and Beaver County.

Hi, Glad to have found your page! I am doing some preliminary research on my ancestor and trying to follow-up on some family stories. I am a descendent of James Francis McLaughlin who supposedly owned a steel mill in Aliquippa, PA. I find that reading abou Jones & Laughlin very interesting and wonder if there is a connection. Your information has been most helpful! Thanks! Elizabeth

Great Page! I'm a native of pittsburgh and currently work for Bethlehem Steel, Sparrows Point Maryland Plant. My dad's old company, Swindell Dressler, built the electric arc furnaces at J&L's south side plant in the late 1970's. The engineers involved new it was a half ass moderization. The plant was dead in the water without one or two continous bloom casters. J&L would have been better off just closing the open hearth shop and investing their money elsewhere. It just blows my mind that J&L / LTV m de such poor investment decisions. In the future try to include more pictures of the plant departments.

This is awesome. I am 22 years old and am fortunate enough to have caught the tail- end of big steel in Beaver County, as well as in my hometown of Aliquippa. I have been trying to find a site devoted to J&L Steel for 6 months now. I'm glad I have found this. Thanx.

Don, what a great idea and what a great page. I know it will get better. You know my grandfather worked in this mill and lived in Woodlawn before it became Aliquippa, so I feel a little part of it because, even though I was never an employee I sold J&L al the refractories for the caster rebuild in the early 1980s.Great job Don, as usual.
