CASTINGS CONUNDRUM

The article discusses the reopening of the former Buckeye Steel foundry after it had been inactive for five months during the cold Ohio winter. After the reopening, the company is now known as Columbus Steel Castings, and the article reviews its history as a case study in trickle-down economics with the freight car companies feeling the bite of a slow economy and reduced car orders.
