Remarks & Notes |
Only a few more feet to go before this CN crew ties down their train on the north end of CN Keenan yard. Shortly, a BNSF crew will arrive and take it south from here where it will end up at U.S. Steel's Granite City works facility.
On Friday U.S. Steel said because of market conditions, they are looking at a potential restart of the idled Keewatin taconite plant which was why these moves were made necessary from U.S. Steel's Minntac plant to Granite City.
U.S. Steel's CEO Dave Burritt said on the conference call Friday morning, "We are prepared for the continued strong demand expected this winter. We are analyzing timing around restarting our Keetac iron ore pellet facility." |
