Had a Blast at work today

Received the following via email from Kermit Geary, Jr.  Text and pictures are his.

We sure had a blast at work today testing the Inland Electric Rwy at Gulliver, MI. Now run by Caremuse Limestone (formerly USS Michigan Limestone), this facility runs 8 months a year, 24 hours a day and carries over 5 million tons of Limestone from the quarry to the pier where it is loaded into lake boats for shipment all over the lake system. Power is 4 ex-C&IM SD-20’s (ex IC, nee Southern SD-24’s). The blast was when all operations ceased while they exposed a new rock face! Next stop will be the Caremuse operation in Cedarville, MI.
