5 of US Steel's Baldwin DS44-1000s
Author: MartyBernard

Wikipedia told me, "Geneva Steel was a steel mill located in Vineyard, Utah, United States, founded during World War II to enhance national steel output. It operated from December 1944 to November 2001. Its unique name came from a resort that once operated nearby on the shore of Utah Lake."

Nice collection of photos.  The mill is long gone now, it's slowly turning into suburbia.  I remember some old switchers at the mill when it was still in operation, they sure had a "well worn" look to them.

These locos sure had plenty of hand rails. But on the cab roof? what would they have been for? Replacing the bulb in the bubble gum light?
