Every Sunday for a year and a half, starting in October 1997, a group of Pittsburgh metal artists sneaked into the abandoned Carrie Furnace site, along with their tools and equipment. They used materials found on site to create a 45' tall deer head.
The group - Industrial Ar...-

This is a gigapan I took from the Rankin Bridge of Braddock, PA. It was taken right before the torrential downpour that flooded Millvalle and reportedly produced a tornado that touched down in downtown Pittsburgh. The before-the-rain-haze might not make such a good photo, huh?

Rail cars carrying iron ore would roll through here, the giant arms above the tracks would pick up a rail car and dump it over the wall at right, to go into the ore yard. This panorama is best viewed in Google Earth.

The tall structure with ramp, closest to the camera is Blast Furnace No. 6, and the one at left, beyond the tanks is No. 7. The red gantry crane at right was used to manage the huge piles of coke, iron ore, and limestone between the furnaces and the river (at far left & far right in this 360 degree view), and feed t...

This room is part of the ore bridge gantry crane that rides on rails over the (iron) ore yard, picking up and dumping loads of iron ore in preparation for ironmaking in one of the blast furnaces.

This is the cast house of Carrie Furnace blast furnace number 6. In the floor are the channels or "runners" through which molten iron flowed. Sluice gates (is that the right terminology?) were used to control the flow. The iron poured directly into "torpedo" rail cars parked below this floor, for transport across the...

This is a closer-up view of the Rankin Bridge near Pittsburgh. It's scheduled for rehabilitation in March 2008. It really needs fixed, as we say. See if can find any places in the structure that the engineers will say have to be replaced. Snapshot it, compare with the actual job in a later gigapanorama.
