Hot Metal Bottle Train in Transit
Title:  Hot Metal Bottle Train in Transit
Description:  Headed up by one of the GP38-2 units on hand, this regularly scheduled hot metal bottle train ambles slowly from the ArcelorMital plant in East Chicago, IN, to the finishing plant in Riverdale, IL, via mostly IHB trackage. The cars' rotund shape makes it an easy one to spot coming down the track.

INLX 146 & 203 - Arcelor-Mittal Hot Metal Bottle Cars
Title:  INLX 146 & 203 - Arcelor-Mittal Hot Metal Bottle Cars
Description:  Always a delight to see these12 axle massive hot metal bottle cars (torpedo cars to some) rolling down the tracks between the former Inland Steel plant in East Chicago, Indiana and the Riverdale, IL finishing plant. What makes this time unusual is the lack of spacer gondola cars between these behemoths. I was told once the weight could damage the rails without spacers between, even if they were empty like these eastbound ones. Strange! First time to see this.
