Loading has begun. You can see the the slip has two tracks which line up with two tracks on the barge. I believe the sip has a way to move the barge right/left to line up the other tracks for loading.
DMIR 316, 419, and 401 lead Minorca limestone loads through South Viriginia, MN on June 15, 2005. These three DM&IR motors are leading stone north for the mine with a train out of Proctor. This is a CN train, but we're still in the era of CN on the Iron Range that looked pretty much like the Missabe of old.
Quite a different view here 11 years ago on the old DW&P from the BLE shot I took and posted from this summer. In these still maroon days, the United Taconite/Evtac waste rock pile was smaller and not grown over. The shot isn't as grown over either and the siding on the Peg still looks pretty rickety. Things change, a good reason to take pictures I suppose.
The two trailing Missabe tunnel motors are both gone with the 419 scrapped by CN in 2008 and the 401 wrecked by CN at Highland, MN in 2010. The lead SD-M, 316, survives operable at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth.

Coal loads heading south as Norfolk Southern train 578 heads through Berryville, Virginia on July 5, 2025.
A Copper Basin train of ore loads arrives at the dumper for ASARCO's copper smelter in Hayden, AZ. From here a large conveyor (out of sight behind me) takes the ore uphill to the actual smelter, where it will be refined into copper. Unfortunately not much copper comes out by rail these days, but the captive ore and acid trains are still plenty to keep the Copper Basin busy.
congregating. busy moving on foot.
Not sure if it is a mating congregation, I coldnt see any copulation. Just a general sense of busyness with out much bumping into each other.
Previously i saw something similar with similarly shaped flies and RuiAndrade was able to say that it was flies of family Scatopsidae. I am not sure if this occasion is exactly the same or not ...but looks like it could be ...to my untrained eye.
