    The sad part about that load of equipment is the loss of AMERICAN workers that used them, bought houses, fed families and raised families using that stuff.
    We know the story all too well.

    But DAMN that's a lot of good stuff!

    Yes it is!
    This was one of the foundries that was a customer of my last employer of 20 years. They were a few miles out of my territory so other than on very rare occasion when filling in for one of the guys at the Fort Wayne shop. I did not get into the place often. A great bunch of people in a part of the state that has been hit hard over the last 10 - 20 years. Unfortunately a growing list. There are a few left but I would say less than ½ of what there were in northern Indiana when i started working on industrial equipment. Some consolidate some went under but I don’t think other than the Auto transition foundry in Kokomo there is a union shop in the northern part of the state?
