With the snow getting ready to fly, I was going through some photos taken last February during some travels through the UP. This is an ore loader in Marquette - no longer used. This is one of the largest standing objects I've ever seen. The theory is that train cars loaded with ore would take an elevated bridge to the top of the loader and dump the ore into holding bins. Freighters would then come along on either side where the ramps would be lowered and the ore would drop to the ships. This loader is in the middle of town. Unfortunately it was closed off - would have been interesting to view the inside.
