The short story is Western Lime (based out of Wisconsin) built this small plant to piggyback off Oglebay Norton's limestone operations at Port Inland. They buy the stone from ON's quarry, screen it, and calcinate (bake) it to produce lime which they then load into trucks or covered hoppers to sell to paper mills and the like. It appears that they added a switchback spur to the Port Inland railroad at the port. Not sure how the cars get up to the WC interchange, though.
1: Overall view looking west. The limestone enters from the right into the UFO looking thing, where it is pushed into the kiln. The buildings on the left cool it, store it, and load it.
2: The stockpile. Stone comes from the far right end from ON, is stockpiled, and pulled out through a conveyor underneath to the left.
3: The conveyor under the stockpile.
4: Some hoppers waiting around with the one of Port Inland's SD20s in the background.
5: Stockpile and the loadout area.
6: Storage bin and loadout area. The stone comes from the kiln, dumps into the building on the right, and is stored or loaded into trucks or covered hoppers as needed.
7: The view inside the kiln.
I have more pictures if anyone is interested.
