Pittsburgh Pennsylvania-based steel and rail products manufacturer L.B. Foster will supply 1,553 net tons of new rail manufactured and welded by Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) to the Iowa Interstate Railroad.
L.B. Foster will supply the standard continuous welded rail (CWR) for new track installation in May 2011 through its company-owned weld train. "Maintaining our own weld trains helps to expedite CWR shipments from our supplier plants and provides better coordination of delivery to staging areas nationwide," said Jay Roach, L.B. Foster Sales Manager.
