Steel company no longer pursuing end to rail service in Steelton

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The steel mill itself is idle but Cleveland-Cliffs tells abc27 News it will continue operating rail service in Steelton, serving other businesses.

The tracks run along Front Street in Steelton and are a critical link for other companies, including the Dura-Bond Pipe Mill.

So critical that Dura-Bond filed a complaint earlier this week when Cleveland-Cliffs appeared prepared to suspend the rail service in January, based on a regulatory finding.

Thursday, Cleveland-Cliffs said it is not suspending rail service and Dura-Bond is no longer pursuing the complaint.

“We are working with Cliffs on a mutual agreement that will benefit both parties,” Jason Norris, president of Dura-Bond said in a statement to abc27 News. “We are a large customer of Cliffs and we both want to continue our relationship.”
