Not bad for equipment that was built in 1912 

These were ran by the PRR on Whiskey Island in Cleveland, but right on the other side of the tracks were a set of Huletts ran by the Erie. This is where all the ore for the steel mills in Warren and Youngstown came from.

This is what they look like now:

VERY cool video Chris.  Thanks for posting.  I always wondered what it would be like to ride the bucket.

George Lucas must have grown up near one of these facilities... I see Imperial Walkers...  Awesome.  Love the shot of the operator in the bucket.  That must have been quite a fun job, if not a tad dusty.
