Transportation Company - Youngstown & Northern - Railroad



Company History: Of all the railroads owned by United States Steel, Youngstown & Northern may be the least known and least photographed. This line linked US Steel's Ohio Works (in Youngstown, Ohio) with the nearby US Steel MacDonald rolling and stamping plant. Traffic density must have been extremely heavy as Y&N required 14 locomotives to handle the traffic on just 5 miles of route. The Y&N was abandoned in 1981, which is about the time the mills closed.
Successor/Parent History:
United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X), more commonly known as U.S. Steel, is an American integrated steel producer headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with production operations in the United States, Canada, and Central Europe. As of 2016, the company was the world's 24th largest steel producer and second largest domestic producer, trailing only Nucor Corporation.

Though renamed USX Corporation in 1986, the company returned to its present name in 2001 after spinning off its energy business, including Marathon Oil, and other assets from its core steel concern. The company experienced significant downsizing during the 1980s; a decline in market capitalization resulted in its removal from the S&P 500 Index in 2014.
