Depreciation of fixed assets totaled $27.3 million, $23.5 million, and $18.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2016, we retired $2.0 million of fully depreciated fixed assets that were removed from service in 2016.

Upon sale or retirement of assets, cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

Fixed assets included assets under capital leases and finance obligations of $21.5 million and $10.0 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accumulated depreciation related to assets under capital leases and finance obligations was $8.7 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Depreciation expense of assets recorded under capital leases and finance obligations was $4.1 million, $1.6 million and $707,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
