I read a story last night that Vancouver is now cut off from the rest of the world by road. Only water and air access.
I believe I seen some Columbia rails when I was cutting up old rails at my work.
Wonder how long it’ll be before they can’t meet stricter emissions standards and have to close
Bussey stays on top of emissions standards (He's the CEO btw). Don't see that happening. Steel Dynamics plants are state of the art in process and emissions. My old employer has one of their facilities located adjacent to the flat rolled mill in Butler, Indiana. That way, transportation costs are mitigated and profit is maximized.Wonder how long it’ll be before they can’t meet stricter emissions standards and have to close
You do know what the initial primary motivator for SDI to locate in Indiana was?
We buy a lot of steel from them, I've toured their mill a couple of times. Pretty cool place. 2 electric melt furnaces. The scale of the facility is hard to comprehend.
I haven't ridden much in the past few years, but that looks like an interesting ride. I'll be 71 next summer and rail grades are usually pretty easy riding, although a 30 mile round trip might be a bit much, but it would be fun to try. Although when I was in riding shape, distance wasn't that big of a deal as long as I was fueled and hydrated. Rode a metric century the week of my 60th birthday just to say I did it.
They haven't been at that location long enough to have old rails, I'd guess. My wife went to college in Ft. Wayne in the early 80's. I'd visit her quite often, as it's only 90 miles away (about an hour for a doofus on a motorcycle (me)), and it wasn't there in the 80's, 90's. I doubt it's 20 years old yet.I believe I seen some Columbia rails when I was cutting up old rails at my work.
Good question. I dunno the answer. It's not an old mill. I'd guess less than 20 years.Wonder how long it’ll be before they can’t meet stricter emissions standards and have to close
