Kelly Christopher Luttrell takes a tour of the hulk of a structure that lines West Jefferson.
Wyandotte photographer Kelly Christopher Luttrell took a closer look at the now abandoned McLouth Steel plant in Trenton.

In this third and final installment, workers can be seen cutting down some of the old machinery as they continue to scrap the place.
