Viewing Album:  Hot Metal at Dolton, IL
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:2/9/2012 - 2/9/2012
Album Info:This time I caught the daily hot metal train at Dolton, IL. Coming from the ArcelorMittal plant in East Chicago to the ArcelorMittal finishing plant in Riverside, IL, this train makes a slow trip almost daily with its load of glowing hot metal. Always a treat to see these brutes roll by! Close enough this time to feel the momentary heat as each rolled past me. Of course, no snow to melt from the heat this year!
