Not picturesque, but functional

Industry, rather than atmosphere, is key to understanding this colorful volume by famed railroad photographer Greg McDonnell. Whether these big boats are carrying taconite (iron ore) pellets, grain, aggregates or other necessities, they are and will continue to be on the job for years to come. The text is not terribly informative, but just witnessing these behemoths at work is worth the price of admission.
