Greetings from sunny St. Pete where it is 71 degrees this evening.

1. Great web site. 2. This is a view of the ore docks in Conneaut and NOT Cleveland as evidenced by the original four steam Huletts in the background. This model Hulett was found only at Conneaut - which was the major port for Pittsburgh Steamship Co ships of US Steel. 3. The machinery in the foreground are Brown Fast Plants which were at Conneaut. The only Fast Plants in Cleveland were at the NYPANO docks (Erie RR) along the inland side of the Old River. Best regards from the Sunshine State, Phil Stager
