User Comments:
• I believe the photograph is actually from Champion, Michigan - I've seen the same image eleswhere associated with Champion or Beacon (a location in Champion), Michigan. Description says there is a large pile of iron ore pellets - highly unlikely given the historic time period, in addition the material in the pile is much too coarse to be pellets.
