Rail steel output to reach about one million tons this year
Forecasts predict 1,000,000 to 1,100,000 tons of steel rails this year after summer strikes at coke workers cut output. Projections for 1892 expect rail production to rise sharply, with at least 500,000 more tons of Bessemer iron used in rails than in the past year. Stronger markets and better prices are anticipated for iron and steel makers nationwide.
