February 2
(year 4, picture 33)
Look what I rolled-up next to coming home from work today:
Since these were headed out of Decatur, my suspicion is that the Sol-Tick scrapyard at the foot of the Staley Viaduct had processed some railcars.
Maybe the wheels can be reused?
Or maybe they go somewhere special to be recycled -- or melted down?
Either way, it would be a fun exercise to look through a log of everywhere these wheels have travelled and everything they've carried.
For now, all I know is that tonight's the last time they'll be in Decatur for awhile.
Out for now.......
