The Walter J. McCarthy, Jr. came under the Lift Bridge on Friday evening around 5 pm and went to the Murphy Fuel Dock to fill up before going over to Midwest Energy Resources to load coal. One half hour later, the Joseph L. Block came under the bridge to discharge limestone at the CN Dock just across the St. Louis River from Midwest Energy. After discharging limestone, it will get a partial load of iron ore pellets at the CN Dock and then go to the Two Harbors CN Dock to complete the load. Above, the Block is passing the McCarthy at the fuel dock, on its way to discharge limestone. Both boats are expected to depart the port today. Photo taken on August 07,2008
