K596, Dearborn(Rouge) Mich. to AK Steel in Middletown, Ohio. Sometimes runs via Fostoria, sometimes via Perrysburg.

Empties run reverse route as K597. These are the trains that used to run between Ashland, Ky., and Middletown. They started running out of Dearborn last year* after AK Steel bought the former Rouge Steel from Severstal.

*-At least, early 2016 was when I started seeing them running through Toledo.

Also runs via Marion and Sidney on occasion. They started soon after Ashland KY plant closed.
