I remember Sparrows Point from a college tour of the GM assy plant there, back in the early/mid 60's.....and seeing the steel plant too.....

So I guess it's all gawn now.....I know GM closed their plant, it was an eye opener, complete RR trains coming inside the building so parts could be unloaded.....
