Viewing Album:  Hot Metal Trains Meet
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:12/12/2011 - 12/12/2011
Album Info:While checking my usual trainspotting sites I found a southbound Norfolk Southern full hot metal train on its usual run to the ArcelorMittal finishing plant in Riverdale, IL. just waiting on for a clear signal on the Indiana Harbor Belt mainline in Hessville. Hoping to see it proceed, I waited only to be rewarded with a second empty northbound hot metal train passing by. Never did get to see the first train move as more traffic slid by keeping it at the wait position.
