Posted by Glass 11/15/2007 9:09 PM | remove   No, this is where the train cars would park, as many as 4 at a time. The big rectangular holes between the tracks drop into concrete chutes that slide the ore into ships that can park on the side of the dock.

I was under the mistaken impression this this facility was for loading and unloading ships. Obviously it only did the former.
