The Hottest Train On Earth: Molten Steel Trains Across Chicagoland

Описание: Ever since I began taking video seriously, the one thing I've wanted to cover the most (by far!) were Norfolk Southern's bottle trains between the steel plants at East Chicago and Riverdale. I touched on these briefly in my IHB East End video (...if you're new here, I'd highly advise watching that first for additional context to the layout of the railroad, etc.), but didn't get terribly in depth with them. Almost a year since that video was released, here is the long version of the hottest, heaviest, and arguably most unique train in the United States.

In this program, we take a look at over an hour of previously unseen footage of these unique trains, as well as some additional steel mill railroading within both the massive Indiana Harbor Works, and smaller Riverdale Works.
