Why didn't anyone recycle and re-melt the abandoned railway tracks?

Strictly speaking, it is wrong for the railway not to recycle the abandoned tracks.  On more replacement lines, the railway engineering department will leave worn and unusable tracks on both sides of the railway.  However, the rail collector will be driven for recycling within a certain period of time.crane rail suppliers

After recycling, the abandoned railway will be transported to the freight yard and warehouse where the railway department stores the railway. Some high-standard railway abandoned railways will be installed on low-standard railways for further use.  On the wasteland on both sides of the railway, some chimneys eventually corroded and replaced them.  The reason for giving up is that the cost recovered, including manpower, logistics, resale, storage and other costs, may be forgotten.crane rail suppliers

So the question is, why are abandoned railway tracks rarely recycled into steel?

As we all know, scrap steel can be recycled indefinitely. The steelmaking process can save energy and reduce the emission of waste gas, waste water and waste residue. However, the cost of remelting, storage and transportation of waste steel rail is very high in the country.  Scrap steel is a special kind of steel. Some steel mills cannot be collected because they cannot be melted down. They need more expensive electric furnace steelmaking equipment. In addition, the electric energy consumed in smelting is not enough to maintain the balance of income and expenditure, and it is of little use after smelting.crane rail suppliers
