Steel Mill Trains inside Indiana Harbor and Gary Works

On January 8th, 2023, I visited two steel mills in Northwest Indiana. First I stopped by the Cleveland Cliffs Indiana Harbor plant (former Inland Steel). Right away there was a SW1001 dropping off some torpedo cars at the small yard west of the Indiana Harbor Canal. Soon after, a slug set with a SW1500 picked up the cars and brought them to another facility in the plant (I assume to be loaded). I then moved onto Gary Works where I caught a couple Gary Railway SW1200s moving around the mill. One was paired with a slug and was loading some torpedo cars that I caught departing the loader. Another interesting piece of a equipment I spotted was some sort of cart that unloaded iron ore next to one of the main blast furnaces. If anyone has any info on it, I’d be curious to know! —————————————————————————— Thanks for watching! Like what you see? Subscribe! Also make sure to check out my other social media pages! Instagram:
