The steel mills, such as Burns Harbor, are not setup for receiving iron ore via rail. The ore docks are on the northside and the railroad tracks are on the southside. You would have to rebuild the layout of the mill for receiving railcars with iron ore on a regular basis.
Railroads charge switching fees, unless the hopper cars are part of a complete unit train, which means a longterm contract.
