If you plan on using some of it to represent flux ore, I hope that you'll post some photos to show it. At one time, before the layout I have now, I thought about bringing in ore from a mine somewhere else (probably unmodelled), but dropped the idea because a train of ore cars wasn't in the budget. It never occurred to me at the time that ore might have travelled in regular open hoppers (of which I had quite a few).
The Gibson Works mine is supposedly under nearby Lake Erie, and that locale was inspired by the salt mines at Goderich, Ont., which extend well out under Lake Huron.
