The Missabe Road: Safety First
QUOTE: Originally posted by cuddlyjools Yes i've heard of the Edmund Fitzgerald (it sank in a storm) but I had heard that the great lakes are shallow in regard to being no more than 200ft deep so ships have to have a shallow draft and most importantly, large ocean going bulk carriers have difficulty getting through the locks to access the St Lawrence river. When BNSF and UP start running the bulk ore trains to the west, where is there final destination and is it a similar operation to what the WC and SP started in the early to mid 90's. http://julian-sprott.fotopic.net/

QUOTE: Originally posted by cuddlyjools Thanks guys, I wondered if the pellets had been moved to Pacific ports because I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that the great lakes are quite shallow and not suitable for large ocean going bulk carriers. http://julian-sprott.fotopic.net/
I'm back!
