STEEL A LA MODES
The use of a specially designed pallet, throw-away packaging and overnight movement on flat cars has enabled Illinois Central Gulf to capture steel-products traffic between Chicago and St. Louis, a relatively short rail haul. This truck-rail-truck service has been successful. ICG is expanding the area covered and developing backhauls of brick and other metals.
