Loading An Ore Ship -The Massive Mesabi Miner-

The Twin Ports is home to a bustling array of shipping, and industry by both rail and water. The massive iron ore docks see huge ships coming and going, while being loaded with taconite. This video has unique, and rare views seldom seen!
In this video, we'll see how the MASSIVE Mesabi Miner gets loaded, how the taconite gets unloaded, and an aerial view of the large Canadian National Dock 6 in Duluth. This is a neat operation, complete with the unloading of taconite cars - something rarely seen!

I work on that ship, I’m a permanent AB. You get a lot more tonnage by loading into a ship vs shipping it by rail. It’s also a lot cheaper in a long run and more efficient. It takes roughly 500+ train cars to load 60,000 tons of ore.

Those cars are ultra-stubby compared to coal cars because taconite is about three times denser than coal, which is what’s usually transported

@SD457500 it was like having mini earthquakes every day. Well, until the democrats came in, they shut the mining down. I also got caught by the police playing underneath the ore docks as a kid, I remember. You can see my house in your video. I remember the train always honking its loud horn at us if we were outside playing to say hi. I know those ore docks like the back of my hand. You know what else made me think of these ore docks like 6 months ago. I was touring vietnam, and I was in Da nang, and our tour guide pointed out these unused bridges are from the American war. I thought holy shit. Their made from Iron so that material once past next my house. Let's say I didn't tell anyone on that tour that lol.
