Here is my favorite railroad hat and I only wear it occasionally. I got it 15 yrs. ago from the plant manager. He said it was his last one to give out. There is a lot of history on the hat. I was in Montreal doing a wreck assessment on a burn unit. Enjoy.

Saturday morning as taconite pellets steam at Collingwood (Duluth MN) before being dumped at Dock 6. March 4, 2023

I was once at LTV's pellet plant when my father-in-law was still working and watched these pellets coming off the convoy there at tons per second and red hot.
