| Remarks & Notes |
| U.S. Steel's Granite City Works was indefinitely idled in late 2023, forcing the lay offs of nearly 300 employees. During my recent trip to the area, there were multiple movements being made into and out of the plant. Perhaps this is a positive sign for the future. 68 year old USSX SW1200 #1244 has certainly seen better days, but she was pulling and shoving like a champ with empties. |
