Remarks & Notes |
Looking south on the old Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range railroad laid tracks that once served the Thunderbird South coarse crusher loadout which came online in 1976 to help feed the Fairlane pellet plant. The Thunderbird South pit ceased operation in October of 1992. The Thunderbird North pit continues to this day but the mine and plant are currently shut down due to soft demand and low prices for ore. |
