| Remarks & Notes |
| Erie Mining/LTV Steel owned three Alco C420’s. Here we see # 7222 working a crude ore train at one of the many Hoyt Lakes ore loading sites. Number 7222 was delivered as # 602 in 1965 and in 1991 was assigned to the Hoyt Lakes plant site where it worked crude ore trains while numbers 4218 ( later renumbered 7220) and 4219 ( later renumbered 7221) were assigned to the road trains to the ore dock. As an interesting note Erie Mining was the first taconite miner in Northern Minnesota, beginning research in 1940 and producing first production pellets in 1957. |
