Wow, this is interesting, but I guess not totally suprising. Since U.S. Steel posted good earnings this last quarter, they are probably looking to make a good...
I agree about USS. What I am curious about is the potential competition for bids. We all know about TK and Severstal. I am interested in Evraz and CSN. Who are...
All, While I can't speak in regard to the Shenandoah Line, as a local real estate developer I do know quite a bit about the Alameda Corridor project and the...
CSN is a large Brazilian Steel Company with huge iron ore reserves. A few years ago they tried to combine with Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel, but the union...
You made some good points and I support your ideas, but you left out one important fact about the LA deal that Kriss made about the EJ&E comparison. The...

Nothing has been said so far about future Metra operations on the J. What's happening with that? (Not that it has anything to do with this list - I'm just...
Regarding Metra, it seemed those same communities were very interested in having Metra trains running along the EJ&E corridor. It's those damned pesky loud...
Where are blast furnace efficiency ratings posted? I'd be interested to know how Burns Harbor stacks-up. Unless this is AK's claim? Bob ... From: "Raymond Lynn...
This is according to AIST reports in 2007 (last report). I have followed Middletown's rating because the blast furnace is similar to Acme's "A" Blast Furnace...
And we still want the Metra trains. They are short so they don't tie up the grade crossings for long. Some revenue is generated thru parking and the...
The rail traffic moving through your area may not help you, but somewhere trains are traveling through someone else's backyard destined for businesses and...
Rick, My point was not in support of the NIMBY's but rather who should pay for grade separation, RR's or muni's. Tax payers, rightly or wrongly, don't want to...
I believe that Rick is right when he says that we must have some give and take for the general good. We seem to still have that extreme individualism that is...
Maybe this is stretching it a bit and is perhaps way outside the box, but just because a grade separation project does not benefit the local village or town...
Brendan and Ray have it exactly right. And those who argue against more trains just because they don't want more trains will likely lose. The issue is who pays...
The melt shop was down so we went straight to the rolling mill. That was OK with me. Not really a big fan of electric furnaces, but could have watched that...
Do you have a POTW main nearby? It may be cheaper to tie to them and deal with the monthly fees. Those miniplants are nice but expensive - they used them...

It was a power curtailment. The power company sends power to dc and baltimore - when the power is needed there they can shut down the mill. The furnace is...
J&L use to do that in Pittsburgh - dump acid straight to the Mon. They even tied to the pgh sewer system without the city knowing (or they did, got some coin...
No, no city water and no sewer for at least a mile. Rick ... From: Kish Buster To: STEEL@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2008 9:14 AM Subject: Re:...

Same thing here in Duluth. We STILL have a major Superfund site with the USS Duluth Works in Morgan Park and Interlake Iron in West Duluth off of Raleigh...
Correct if I'm wrong but I believe AM/Dofasco is going to reinstate No. 3 by spring '09...? (unless I have this confused with USS [ STELCO] Hilton Works.??) ...
I am not familiar with the numbering system USS Stelco uses today. However, when this report was printed (2007) Stelco still was an independent company. If No....
Bruce, is Dofasco the line of 4 blast furnaces along the canal as seen from the skyway? And Stelco is the 2 blast furnaces farther away towards Hamilton? Hot...
