Nope, its not exactly off US24, you turn off at the first exit after crossing the I-25 and go down for a few miles, there is a small metal recyling plant in a large aluminum building (looks like a scrap yard behind it), you can buy used railroad ties (we did to line our driveway) and all sort of metal items from them.

As far as I know, there aren’t any steelworks on US24. Interstate 25 in Minnequah (Pueblo) is probably what you meant:)
