She has 4 engines. 2 port and 2 starboard. They're side by side. The video with loading and unloading can be found

What shape ate the Cort's engines in? Some time ago, there were rumors that the engines were tired.

I'm putting some videos and pics together and will upload it to my YouTube profile 10/18 pm. (Search "Cottonwood Studios") The Cort loads like any other laker, but the boom is about 75 feet long making it difficult to find a port that can accommodate. She always unloads in Burns Harbor, IN. I have video and pictures of both loading and unloading. I took some pictures the second mate took while at Silver Bay and will add those as well.

There are some shots of the Cort being loaded at BNSF 5 in Superior about halfway down the page at http://www.swellsamphotography.com/load ... ading2.htm

loading is not so much the issue with the Cort. It recently loaded at Silver Bay. It's short boom limits the ports where it can unload. I've taken a quick peek at both the fleet photo and public photo galleries but haven't found a picture of it loading. I do have the Cort video from the late Andy LaBorde and can tell you it looks pretty much like any other laker being loaded via conveyor boom.

I noticed the interesting configuration of the Stewart J Corts Hatches. Are there any photos of the Cort loading cargo floating around out there? I noticed Superior is a main loading point, can she only load at certain facilities?
