I was perusing the local hobby shop online today while I'm on the couch being sick. I came across the 6-83170 Steel Mill Structure with Sounds by Lionel. I did a quick Youtube search and came up empty handed. I just wanted to hear it. Anybody know if the sounds are any good?

That's interesting, Bill. Any luck?

I have the Intermodal one of these and people love them. They give these subtle background sounds. On mine its things like office phones ringing, people talking, managers giving orders, moving cargo, etc. I like them. They were meant to go with the different cranes and operating accessories. When I power on my layout it just starts up and its great. Volume is adjustable.
No luck @G3750 my original plan was to mix my own track. I thought this might be a decent alternative.
I appreciate the input @Sean's Train Depot. Is there a video of that on your channel by chance? I haven't gone back through your videos yet. I've only checked your new releases.
Any further luck with finding an example of the steel mill structure sounds. I am considering adding the structure to my layout. I have the Lionel factory and thought it might be neat to add the steel mill sounds close by to it.
You can have whatever sounds you like, and they'll either play when powered up or play on demand. 
I've attached a few sample sound files.
I’m pretty sure I heard the stamp mill as background in a Fleetwood Mac song.
Could be, it is a familiar sounding track.
No luck @JWH. I haven't looked for one for sale or on Youtube.
