Judging from what I'm seeing in the pic, that stone is probably going to be shipped by rail to the taconite processing plants in northern Minnesota. Reason being, a measured amount is now and has been used in the manufacturing of "pre-fluxed pellets." This of course is limestone which is part of the iron making process. By using pre-fluxed pellets, it probably means less raw limestone needs to be added at the blast furnace. These pellets do run a bit more than regular, run-of -the-mill pellets, but are higher quality.
