Transtar, Inc.
 PROFILE
Transtar serves the steel industry all the livelong day with railroads and marine carriers. The company was formed in the 19th century to serve its parent, steelmaker USX, which accounts for more than half of its revenue. Transtar works from start to finish, hauling raw materials such as iron ore, limestone, coal, and coke to sites; providing in-plant transportation; and moving finished products. Operating units include Birmingham Southern Railroad, Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway, and Warrior & Gulf Navigation. An affiliate of the Blackstone Group investment firm bought a majority stake in Transtar in 1988, but USX and Blackstone divided Transtar's assets in 2001 in a deal that left USX as Transtar's sole owner.
