Big growth coming to Sinton
Big growth coming to Sinton
Have they picked a location for this steel mill?
I’m in Portland and we are exploding with new growth because of all the new industry.
We have the steel pipe plant in Gregory, the iron ore plant, the LNG export plant and just starting construction on the Exxon Ethylene Cracker plant. It’s hard to keep up with the growth 2 new apartment complexes, 9 new hotels and construction of 2,200 new homes.
You're not kidding - that is one HUGE building on 35, right at the overpass at Gregory. My husband is retired now but used to work the Gregory switch engine for Southern Pacific back in the late 70's and early 80's. There wasn't anything out there in those days.. Now it's damn near metropolitan....Quote:

Funny, I worked for Southern Pacific at the same time out of Eagle Lake. I was a track foreman and we covered all the track from eagle lake to Houston. You prolly know a few of my ex coworkers Bell ,Koenig, and Gohmert. My cousin is Billy Reinhardt used to be a regional manager for SP.
Oh yes, know them all. My husband was on the east bound UP train that had head on collision with west bound UP train.....at Y-D right before Houston yard, Oct, 1997. I went to school with Sandra R. Small world.Quote:

I don't think they're even through building the inside because of the overhead cranes outside starting to collect rust.
