 Ore is brought in by semi-truck. It's put into piles by a gigantic conveyor belted machine. Front-end loaders move the ore to the trains. The trains in turn move it up about 50 feet where it's dumped into ocean going vessels.

Cropped, resized, unsharped.

Very cool shot, I like the rail cars and the mountain of limestone...or whatever it is.

Interesting and well done photo.

Fantastic photo. (You may be wishing you'd saved this for Implied Lines, but I digress). I like the way the rail cars lead my eye across the image and then back. I like that the lights in the background reinforce this. Not really any nits to pick. Among my top picks this challenge.

I like the line of ore cars - the machinery overly complicates the shot, tho
