Steel mill locomotives

Hello all,
Just wondering what types of locos would be found in a steel mill in the 70s or 90s. I know second- and third-hand geeps are used now at some mills, but what locos would be found at these same mills earlier?
 
How about a leased or borrowed Geep?

ArcelorMittal mill, East Chicago, IN
 
I was there once but didn't get any photos. The plant is usually switched by RC switchers. I plan to create a route of that mill at some point.
 
There is an extremely small diesel loco used for moving slag cars. It IS on the DLS and it is called the Buffalo_Slag_model40 by whitepass (excellent content creator by the way). This loco could of course be used for other purposes around a steel mill. Because it is so small, it can fit around extremely tight turns too.
