Rick Rowlands posted eight photos with the comment: "Here in my hometown of Hubbard, OH is Ellwood Engineering Castings which started out in 1927 as Valley Mould & Iron Co. At one time the largest ingot mold foundry in the world, it was fed with iron from the Youngstown Sheet & Tube's Hubbard blast furnaces until they went out of blast and then by hot metal runs from Republic Steel in Youngstown. I worked for EEC from 1998-2001 as a small coremaker and relief locomotive operator."
