For Whom the Bell Tolls
Figuratively of course, and with apologies to Ernest Hemingway, but certainly symbolically for LTV Steel Mining Company. The date July 19, 2001 marked the final ore train run from Knox (Hoyt Lakes) to Taconite Harbor. The train consisted of taconite pellet chips and fines reclaimed from the pellet piles and was powered by five washed veteran F9s. Doug Buell (with hard hat) talks to crew members installing a large American flag to the front of 4211 - a smaller flag on earlier trips was deemed too small for such an occasion. Note the small yellow flags on the other F9s and illuminated class lights. Class is an appropriate description for this operation and the employees who made it special.
