Remarks & Notes

Steel Circle of Life
With their days of rolling along the Nation’s railroad behind them, scrap wheels of which some were cast in Calera, Alabama now find themselves at the end of CSX Y117 heading to an electric arc furnace where they will be melted down and recycled into something new.
