As a non T rider going to Taylor Swift, it’s projected her concert gets done at 11:15…does the T come frequently downtown that late at night?

The Satisfactory player in me appreciates the clean design.
The environmentalist in me weeps, however.

I'm not familiar with the "drap" verbiage. If the plant you visited had smelters for steel it was mostly likely a large integrated mill and you were in the melt shop/LMF section. I think ATI (stainless sheet) has or had a plant in Midland, PA.
Continuous hot-dipped galvanizing lines are smaller in comparison. If the plant you visited had a pot/kettle that they were feeding zinc ingots into then it was a HDG line.

Would that be considered a "drap line"? My dad snuck me into the steel plant in Midland and showed me that new continuous line. The craziest part were the smelters though.

I work for a galvanizing line (continuous HDG for steel sheet, not just dipping in a kettle) so your comment caught my attention. We typically use the 1 ton ingots to replenish our bath. Between my line and our two sister lines in the area we're probably using 50+ tons a day.

Primanti's had a late-night special menu in some locations, I would call and check to see what time certain locations close.

Various size ingots from what I can remember. I do remember someone mentioning that the zinc could eventually end up in breakfast cereal.

What did Horsehead make at that plant? Ingots, shot? I assume they had a few smelters.

Damn that's a beautiful facility. Largest project of it's kind in the country for a period of time.

I worked for a summer in the maintenance garage at the previous Horsehead Zinc plant on that site. Good times.

There was talk about putting one in across from Moundsville, WV (Dilles Bottom, OH) where the old power plant used to be. It seems like it has been forever delayed.
