International Terminal
Grant Helmkamp posted two photos with the comment: "Tell me more....to continue from my earlier post, shortly after the opening of the saint Lawrence seaway Toledo started construction of the Toledo overseas terminal to facilitate loading and unloading of salties carrying general cargo. The first photo is from 1961 while the facility wasn't entirely complete you can see rows of crates lined up on the dock waiting to be moved, the larger of the 3 ships is from Iino lines, a shipping company out of Japan. The 2nd photo is from 1969 and shows the facility during a time when it was being used to load and unload car carriers. They would come in loaded with cars from Europe and leave loaded with jeeps and other North American built cars going to Europe."

Ironville Rail and Transfer
 |
| Craig Hensley Photography posted Scenes from the Railroad The Ironville Rail and Transfer loop sits on a 70 acre lot along the Maumee River in Toledo, OH. With over 28,000 feet of rail which is serviced by in-house locomotives. Onsite there are liquid bulk transloading racks and pumps to move material directly from rail to truck and vice-versa. There is also a self-unloader receiving hopper and conveyor system that can receive bulk products directly from vessels at 2,000 NT per hour.

I presume that Cleveland-Cliffs HBI Plant that is just inland of this terminal is a big customer. In fact, that is probably why it was built here. In fact, there is a conveyor belt that goes directly from the terminal to the stacker/reclaimer facility of the HBI Plant. And the conveyor from the self-unloading hopper can directly dump into the conveyor to the HBI Plant.
