Note: Please study the images carefully to determine the condition of this vintage photograph, as it may not be in perfect condition.

1949 Press Photo The typical transfer point on Riverlake Belt Conveyor Line

Typical Transfer Point on the Riverlake Belt Conveyor Lines is shown as loads of coal and iron ore are relayed from one belt to another. On the system's main line, 172 separate flights of belt will link Lorain on Lake Erie with the southern terminal near East Liverpool on the Ohio River. In each flight, the doubling back of separate units of belt result in a "twin track," one for north-bound coal and the other for south-bound ore both moving at the rate of 650-feet a minute. Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches. Photo Is dated 1949.
