Undaunted/Pere Marguette 41 on the Saginaw River, at the Sargent Docks and Terminal, located in Zilwaukee, just before the I-75/Zilwaukee Bridge.  The pile of gypsum on the dock was mined at the KeyTerra mine in Turner, MI and will be taken to Green Bay, WI once loaded.  Undaunted/Pere Marquette 41 also loaded Gypsum here on June 1st of 2025.  It is great to be seeing product shipped out of the Saginaw River again!  It isn't a lot of loads yet, but it is a start and it is huge for the future of the Saginaw River!  Photos taken 6/8/26
