| The first time I saw a hot metal bottle train I was hooked. This is now one of the rarest forms of railroading as most hot metal movements are contained within a steel plant now. The exception is this ArcelorMital bottle train that makes regular runs from the ArcelorMital plant in East Chicago, IN, to their finishing plant in Riverdale, IL, a rough distance of 30 miles mostly on IHB trackage. The bulbous shapes of the cars are an easy way to spot this rare train. |
