Notes: Photograph of the Bethlehem Steel Works Franklin mills in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Loaded coal cars of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are in the foreground. The Franklin Mills were built by the newly re-organized Cambria Steel Company in 1898. The mill was purchased by the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Company in 1916, which in turn sold the mill to Bethlehem Steel Company in 1923. Bethlehem Steel closed the mill in 1992.
