## Other Infrastructure Products & Services 

O ur newly-realigned Other Infrastructure Products and Services category posted several encouraging trends in 2002, with three of its four businesses leading the way. 

Harsco Track Technologies (HTT) continues to make solid international progress in expanding its market base for railway track maintenance equipment and services, and received important export orders in 2002 from the U.K., Europe and China. The U.K. and China in particular have embarked on major, multi-year programs to modernize and upgrade their heavily-used national rail systems. HTT's increasing success in these key markets augurs well for follow-on opportunities, as international railways account for more than 80 percent of the world's track. North American sales remain sluggish, and our concentration there is increasingly on the higher growth opportunities available from contracting services. 

Demand for Reed Minerals' roofing granules and abrasive products remained strong throughout much of the year, continuing the positive and consistent performance that

has traditionally characterized these operations. Reed Minerals is the United States' largest manufacturer of slag abrasives and third largest manufacturer of residential roofing granules, both of which we produce largely from recycled electric utility coal slag, a process that Reed Minerals pioneered. New facilities were added in 2002 to more efficiently service key regional customers.
