Remarks & Notes |
You can see the curvature of the earth from up here. A short T-Bird train comes into the United Taconite coarse crusher for loading. CN and the mine were doing a test to see whether three shorter single unit trains would have faster turnaround times and be faster than two longer, higher horsepower trains. In the end, the decision was made to run two longer trains. |
