Ready to load
Interlake's classic laker the Honorable James L. Oberstar ( American Ship building Co. Toledo, OH 1958) has swung her boom out of the way and is ready to take on a load of pellets at the LS&I's Upper harbor Presque Isle ore docks (1912) at Marquette, MI. Above, on the dock's deck, LS&I U30C 3009 has just tied on to a string of empties, starting to put together it's train to head back to Eagle Mills yard. We stayed out shooting the loading operations until 0215 that night....it was hard to tear ourselves away from this fascinating operation, even though lighting conditions are tough for night exposures here.
