Alpena, MI: Cement Plant

This plant must be huge, not only does it have at least five rotary kilns, it has boat and rail service. It also has its own limestone quarry. (Update: Ted Gregory informed me that this is the largest cement plant in North America.)

I learned about this plant because of this posting. Note the Lafarge barge.
