This rolling mill equipment sits inside the ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor steel mill in East Chicago, Indiana. The Indiana Harbor Works traces back to Inland Steel, which began operations here in 1902 and merged into ArcelorMittal in 2006. Heavy gears and rollers of this kind once shaped raw steel into finished sections before this part of the plant was taken out of service.
