Nova Steel, Delta Oh

Unread post by redside20 »

Located alongside the IORY a year or so back on the east side of tracks just caddy corner from FCP and has a spur into the building. I hear they are utilizing outbound shipments of products I have not been around that area lately. but according to the website they manufacture steel tube and pipes here...

How many customers are located in the complex of plants west of Delta? I count at least three different companies that could be using rail service all on the cluster of property north of the NS and west of the IORY.

As most of us know, for years three railroads, one interchange yard all met here just to interchange and swap out traffic. that was all that was here. fast forward to the 1990s, two steel plants located here as the railroad landscape and along came the pig iron traffic from the gtw/iory. 20 years later in span of like 8 years fulton county processing was first, and they were followed by metal x to the north of them just a few years later. Now Nova steel is actually located east of the iory

Last I knew they were only receiving inbound coil steel and it wasn't much, but that was at least six months ago. If they are shipping outbound its not coming south of Lima.

I think the pig iron traffic started after IORY started service in 1997
