Loading An Ore Ship -The Massive Mesabi Miner-

preview_player
Показать описание
The Twin Ports is home to a bustling array of shipping, and industry by both rail and water. The massive iron ore docks see huge ships coming and going, while being loaded with taconite. This video has unique, and rare views seldom seen!

In this video, we'll see how the MASSIVE Mesabi Miner gets loaded, how the taconite gets unloaded, and an aerial view of the large Canadian National Dock 6 in Duluth. This is a neat operation, complete with the unloading of taconite cars - something rarely seen!

I'm finding it hard to choose what I like best in this video. The narration, the videography, or the epic guitar riff.

Built in 1918 and still works like intended in 2024. Awesome engineering back then.

I work on that ship, I’m a permanent AB. You get a lot more tonnage by loading into a ship vs shipping it by rail. It’s also a lot cheaper in a long run and more efficient. It takes roughly 500+ train cars to load 60, 000 tons of ore.

Seeing that Milwaukee Road loco still being used is cool

Those cars are ultra-stubby compared to coal cars because taconite is about three times denser than coal, which is what’s usually transported

Great video, nice to see the train side of the process, opening the hoppers and watching them empty, very cool.

Great video, I have always wondered what the unloading process looked like. Thanks for answering that for me.

Very interesting! Clearly explained with the narration too. Thank you!

During Covid I was involved with the upgrade project at Neptune Bulk Terminal in North Vancouver (Allison Project). It was really neat to see how they managed rail volume in a relatively small amount of space. For those unawares, NBT is a coal and potash export terminal.

Awesome video. Colorado has nothing on Minnesota with the beautiful colors of Autumn.
Lake Superior is one not to mess with. Many lives been lost in her, many more to come.

Another outstanding video - great shots, great editing, love the music too. You keep getting better SD457500! We were just up in Duluth staying at Pier B and I was desperate to walk over to the rails nearby because I could see "Hustle Muscle" and a couple other interesting engines there. Was not able this time but next time we are in Duluth will have to do it legit and get tickets and visit the engines properly! (I was hoping to just sneak across the road and shoot still shots from the fence!)

Good to see those ex-SP tunnel motors are still hanging around.

I always wondered what that bridge looking thing was for. Thanks for sharing!

The best video I've ever seen in my life! I can't decide which part is the best. I've seen this 3 times.😊😊😊😊😊

I've driven under that bridge going out to the ore dock many times, but I never realized it was still in operation, I thought the trains were just taking it further south.
I've also listened to these trains up on the iron range all night long for up to a week at a time sleeping in a tent. From when I was born until I was about 3 I live d next to freight tracks, so it puts me to sleep.

I used to work sitting in a tiny shack above the ship running the belts that fed coke into the cargo holds. Memorable times!

I literally grew up a half block away from this ore dock.

Great video! It's amazing to see such impressive engineering in action.
