I'll start this off with Kopper's. I worked in the Large Casting Foundry right out of high school. The dirties, hottest job on the face of the earth. Once the molds were poured on the daylight shift, we came in and emptied the molds and set the casting on rail car. The casting were so hot, a few of the guys would cook their lunch on them. The casting sand got everywhere. Every part of your body would be covered in it. A mask was mandatory or you'd be dead within the week. I left there as soon as I could and went to work for Amtrak. Best move I could have made.
Koppers shut down that facility and moved everything to Erie PA where that foundry shut down, I've been told. I don't know if they are still in business but all I can say is good riddance.
