the only surviving piece of the Mitchell Yards is the engine house, built in 1906 and operated until 1960. Locomotives were repaired in the building pictured. they sent a whole hell of a lot of ore out of this place all over the country i believe. seems like the guy who owned it was getting a restoration effort off the ground a number of years back but a snag must have been hit somewhere, because this place is clapped. reduced to a party spot for dipshit high schoolers, a sad fate indeed.
