Railroads and construction show promise once labor disputes and tax credit delays ease. mills shipped 3,615,131 net tons for construction in four months, down 5.7 percent from a year ago, while railroad orders fade but equipment demand rises. Raw production eased to 2,234,000 net tons in the week ending July 1 as scrap prices climb.
