Ukrzaliznytsia fires back at ArcelorMittal, charging that the nation’s largest steelmaker bad mouths the state railroad to cover up its own corporate incompetence. The railroad charges that the steelmaker over orders trains, parks wagons on rail sidings, damages wagons through clumsiness, and then ties up trains, using them as ‘warehouses on wheels.’ Addressing the steel maker’s main complaint – poor service — UZ said that through August it carried twice as much iron ore as during the same period last year – 27,455 freight car loads this year, compared to 12,884 freight wagons last year.
