Schenectady NY - More than 153,000 gross tons of vital iron and steel scraps - enough to fill a 3400 gondola-type railroad car, stretching 29 miles - were collected and shipped to steel mills and foundries throughout the United States by the General Electric Company in 1951. This pile of twisted, battered steel scrap at the company's Schenectady Works is a typical reclamation scene throughout the company's plants as the vital scrap is prepared for shipment to steel mills and foundries.
