MN lighthouses and tacanite loading/shipping

The sign tells of the new and old docks. The old wooden dock is shown below. This shows how much tacanite can be loaded and how fast.
Here you can see the train on the dock above the dump shoots. The train gets into position and a man goes along to open the bottom of the cars to dump the tacanite into the shoots. (those tall red things are the shoots)

This is the loading of the taconite from the train dump into the ship. The shoot on the right shows the tacanite starting to flow into the ship.
The train can be seen above the loading device which is above the ship. The train dumps into the tall bins shown above the ship and then they are dumped into the ship. This is one of the docks used to load Tacanite or iron ore pellets.
This is the old dock.
