Saxonburg, PA: USS Sintering Plant

(Satellite, it is now an industrial park)

Bob Ciminel posted two photos with the comment: "The USS Saxonburg, PA sintering plant supplied sized iron sinter to the blast furnaces using three sintering lines.  The sinter lines used very fine natural ore and iron-bearing materials from blast furnaces and rolling mills.  Iron ore was supplied by Minnesota, Quebec, and Venezuela."
Edward Schiller: sister plant to #3 sinter plant at Gary.
Mark Knupp: Did it send the processed pellets to the furnaces in the mon Valley?
James Torgeson: Mark Knupp Yes.
