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. |

Rare sight to see these hot metal bottle cars and the first time I have ever seen them without spacer gondolas between the bottle cars to help spread the weight as they slowly travel between East Chicago, IL and Riverdale, IL. |
