The ArcelorMittal hot metal bottle train has ambled its way down the Indiana Harbor Belt eastward as it returns home to the steel plant in East Chicago, Indiana. This strip of IHB track between East Chicago and Riverdale, IL (finishing plant) is one of the very few places now that witness these odd shaped cars outside of the steel plant. Always interesting to see these trains, feel their heat from a loaded car and smell the hot metal as it passes by. |
