MAMMOTH TRANSSHIPMENT TERMINAL LINKS MONTANA COAL TO MICHIGAN POWER PLANT

After examining an all-rail haul from Montana to Michigan, Detroit Edison elected for a combination rail/water routing through Superior, Wis., for its low-sulfur Western coal. Details of the Superior coal-handling facility are described. This is an unloading/loading facility which takes coal from unit trains at the rate of 3500 tons/hr and can load Great Lakes colliers at the rate of 11,000 tons/hr. Special attention was given to control of environmental pollution.
