… thousand footers don’t waste any time when they are in line to load coal at Midwest Energy Resources in Superior. This picture was taken around 8 am on Monday, June 21st from the pilot house of the Indiana Harbor. We were moving in just as soon as the Mesabi Miner cleared the dock. Both boats loaded coal for Detroit Edison power plants, the Mesabi Miner to St. Clair, and the Indiana Harbor to plants in both Monroe and St. Clair.

I love this shot. I wish there were more “inside” shots like this online. The crews surely have and use cameras, lol.
Thanks for your great site and for keeping us nerds up to date.

I have wanted to say this from the time it was posted. “WOO HOO BUMPER BOATS!” Ok, now that that is out of my system this shows that time is money and the quicker they can get in and out the more trips they can make in a season and more trips makes the bottom line look better. When the bottom line looks better your chances of being back next season is better.
