Erie RR Served Steel Mills in the Mahoning Valley

[mstl 246]

I am working on making waybills for a can production facility on a switching layout and would like to have some Erie served steel mills for shippers. I haven't been able to find much online for Erie industry lists, does anyone know which steel mills the Erie served in the Mahoning Valley and the cities they were in? Time frame is late 40's to the early 50's.

Guessing Republic would be one but would like to be more specific with cities and if the plant had a tin sheet production capabilities.

Probably find people who worked those trains and know a lot more than me.

Erie would set off cars on the B&O for Republic Steel in Warren. Then a little further up the line in Niles was the Republic tin mill that was right off the main. Also in Niles was Republic Pressed Steel Division. Next in Brier Hill would be YS&T Brier Hill plant. Through Youngstown to the NK yard was the end of the Erie tracks, but they had joint rights with P&LE and probably went to the Republic Campbell works. There was a Republic Steel in Hubbard Ohio along with Valley Mold. And I'm sure they serviced Sharon Steel in PA.
