I don't know the track guage involved though. <br />[/quote] <br />Most steel mills in the United States used 3' gauge for their in-plant trackage, with small 4-wheel switchers as the motive power. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> Beth and Whierton Steel used 6' gauge electric cars to hall hot metal from the BOF to rolling mills. I think thts what CSSHEGEWISCH was refering to.
