Only a few steel mills in North America are equipped to make rail. One of them is EVRAZ, in Pueblo, Colorado, and their operation to make CWR is about to expand:

The Michigan State University's Railway Management Certificate Program (
www.raileducation.com) visits the Evraz steel plant in Pueblo every year. We see and walk through the rail mill where the rail is actually rolled and visit the testing facilities where they assure the quality. It is a phenomenal, hot and noisy experience! They have a lot of land to expand into. Currently, the lengths they produce are shorter and it is shipped a few miles to a welding facility where they make the CWR rail lengths for shipment to the RRs.
