Here Comes the Hot Metal Bottle Train! |
| Description: |
Slowly ambling through the busy Dolton, IL, junction on the Indiana Harbor Belt tracks is a returning ArcelorMittal hot metal bottle train heading up today by Norfolk Southern GP60 #7113. This is one of the rare locations left in the US to see one of these bottle cars outside of a steel plant now. |

Ambling Down the Tracks |
| Description: |
The returning hot metal bottle car train ambles slowly east down the Indiana Harbor Belt line as it heads back to the East Chicago steel palnt from the finishing plant in Riverdale, IL. The characteristic torpedo shaped ends and bulging sides makes it easy to spot this train. |

Almost Gone |
| Description: |
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. |
