They are located in Connaught Ohio...
They are unloading a Great Lakes freighter. These used to be so common when the steel industry was thriving...

That unloader is fantastic!!! Oh Baby, would that ever look good on a layout with a couple of Great Lakes iron ore freighters. Watched a freighter being loaded at Thunder Bay Ontario many years ago The ore was transported by rail from SteepRock Iron Mines in Atikokan Ontario.

Originally powered by steam and later electrified. I think there is one preserved.
”To bad it's so erector set built looking.”

Very cool and lost in the distance past of America. We used to be an impressive manufacturing leader and now we are film makers, service industry and finance people. Time turns and things change, let's hope for the better.
