      Any hint of an industry in the area, which might ship or receive on this car?

      Wouldn't a load that large come from a lake freighter?

      Greetings,

      Hemi you are correct. The load came off a boat at the harbor. I believe one of the largest lifts ever at Milwaukee. It was headed to a coal fired powerplant being constructed on the south side of Milwaukee county.

      Check out http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/data/500/IMG_33251.JPG to see the load on the flat car.
