Ore Loading Orchestra - Marquette, MI

Cascading a seemingly endless stream of levers, valves, and piping; a pair of Cliffs Natural Resources employees raise and lower the colossal steel chutes of the Presque Isle Dock in Marquette Michigan. Nearly seventy five feet below, the Honorable James L. Oberstar engulfs the payload seemingly infinitely as it has done hundred of times prior. This loading process, from Mine - to Jenny - to Dock - to Chute - to Laker; it is an orchestra in its' own sense, a plucking of strings on but an over sided piano.
