The Hulett coal and ore cranes - massive 150 ton counter-weighted machines that emptied the big ships that brought the coal to the Ford Plants at Duluth from across the Great Lakes... not many notice the operator sits in a cab down near the grab bucket itself...towards the end you get a good view of the operator who dives into the ships hold a hundred times or more per shift!
Interesting (if you're a Gricer that is) the way a small Switcher/Shunter unit moves the coal wagons about....fun for all the family!
