Ore Conveyor Shed

   The Delaware & Hudson began construction of the ore yard at North Creek in late 1941 to handle shipments of titanium ore from National Lead's mine.  The first shipments came here in July of 1942 and continued until the railroad line was completed in June of 1944.
  The yard had four tracks at 900 feet long with a capacity for 32 cars and a total of 1,600 tons of ore per day.
  This structure covered the conveyor and continues down into the ground below the ore dump.
