The Bessemer & Lake Erie has been hauling iron ore to fuel America’s steel production for over 100 years.  Learn about its history and why it means so much to local railfans and workers as we begin to explore its roots.  We talk to Bob Brooks, who has filmed the railroad for over six years, and Jon Clark, a photographer working for another Western Pennsylvania shortline.
