Thunderbird Thursday
On a beautiful afternoon at Iron Junction, a loaded train is heading from thunderbird mine to the fairlane taconite production plant. At fairlane, the raw product will be processed into taconite pellets, and sent on a loaded train to the docks in Duluth for loading onto one of the many lake freighters. Observing these operations was absolutely fascinating, and so different from what I usually shoot out east. The vintage EMD and GE power prevalent on these trains makes it all worth it.
