“This has been a very long winter season, beginning with the Great Lakes freezing on December 6th, not allowing Northwest Indiana steel mills to stockpile materials.”
How’s that “Just-In-Time” crap from the Japanese feel now?
It works great until God throws in a monkey wrench.
the Iron Ore is what is used in making the steel, the ore comes from northern Mn mines and is shipped in rail car’s to Duluth then loaded in to ships to the lower lakes and to the mills in winter the ore is stocked piled at the mills for used in winter and stocked piled in duluth for spring shipping season
