At slightly more than a mile in length, the Vulcan Trail follows a stretch of the former Birmingham Mineral Railroad, a 156-mile loop that followed the Red Mountain Iron Ore seam from Ruffner Mountain to Bessemer, enabling the distribution of mined ore to the many foundries in the area. Coords are given at the east, Vulcan Park, end.
