emphasizes the magnitude ofcoalshippingasitrelates to Sandusky and its harbor. “In addition to a brief film, visitors will see an oper- ational scale model of the rail yard and coal dumper of Pier #3 on Sandusky’s west- ern waterfront and the city skyline,” May emphasizes.
Since the late 19th cen- tury, coal mined in the Appa- lachian mountains of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky was shipped by rail directly to Sandusky to then be transported by lake freighters to Midwest-
ern steel mills throughout the Great Lakes. “Most of the coal shipped out of Sandusky today is not the combustible ‘steam coal’ mixture of decades ago. It is primarily metallurgic coal used as an ingredient in high carbon steel, which then becomes a part of the equipment used to pro- duce solar and wind ener- gy,” May emphasizes. “As domestic steel production goes up so does the need for coal. Sandusky evolved as a natural shipping port due to its maritime geogra-
phy and
proximity
to major
rail lines
between
industri-
al cities
of Tole-
do and
C l e v e -
land, and
o t h e r s
through-
out the
region.”
Coal has
remained
one prod-
uct that
has stood fast, and is still the driving force in keeping lake shipping at the fore- front for Sandusky.
