Description: This photograph depicts the operation of a car dumper at Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's Campbell works. The car dumper was used to dump raw materials (limestone, iron ore, or coal/coke) out of rail cars for the blast furnace. Blast furnaces convert iron ore into pig iron, using coke as fuel; this is the first step of the steelmaking process. View on Ohio Memory.
