construction of the STEEL PLANT brought THOUSANDS of workers and
their families to Cape Breton from all over the world.DESENDANTS of 
these families still live here,altho the work force has dwindled to
hundreds.

             THE TOP PICTURE,about 1908,was taken at the DODD STREET
railway station.The people are not identified, and any assistance
