[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Murphy Siding</i> <br /><br />Is scrap iron ever run in unit trains? I realize that it's not a high-priority, get it there yesterday type of commodity. It would seem to me, that a big shipment from one place to another place without intermediate switching would be the economical way to ship scrap iron? <br />[/quote] I've seen loads of scrap being hauled around The US Steel Edgar Thompson Works in Pittsburgh on CSX and the Union railroad. Another time over near Homestead I saw a Conrail train hauling a string of gondolas with scrap metal.
