Rockmont Export Ore
A heavy loaded export ore train (CN U724) dips at the Amnicon River at Rockmont on the CN Superior Subdivision mainline. The train is starting to grind up the grade that crests at Hines. Good thing CN double-tracked the mainline here - it certainly makes a big difference with getting trains out of the Lake Superior Basin. For reference, the original mainline is on the left while the newer is to the right with a slight jog.
