You can actually see one of these if you're in Marquette Mich. (in da Up der Eh?) Just north of Escanaba....They were going to turn it into a mall (can you beleive it) but it turned out to be structrally unsound. Only one difference: The Ore ships dock on the side of the Ore Dock.... This made it easy to unload ore from the Rail cars into the ships. ______________ _ |Counter -------_______|_| |_Weight___o__________________o| |...| | | |...| | | |.o====== ^ =========o| |...| / | |__ __;...;__ / #### | |_| Control Cab ...... / ## | \| _/###\_ ..... \ ## # | _/ |.'#'.#.| ..... \###/ # | | |RailCar| ...... \#/ # # ^ \ Clamshell Bucket |=======| _______V \/ \/ q p q p # # # =[=====]===[=====]= # | | Ore Dock | | ## | |\--------/| | # # | | \ / | | |__n # n__| | | \ / | | | | # ## | | | | \ / | | | |#,,.#.,###''.| | | | \/ | |w| | Edmund | |wwicewwww | | /\ | |w| |Frizgerald | |wwwwcoldwwww | | / \ | | | |_____________| | | | / \ | | \ / Lake | | / \ | | \_______________/ Superior \__ \/\___--____ \___---___-------__ (Ok, I admit it, I wanted to tell Doug what a nice job He had done, and had no ascii of my own to submit....
