Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Railroad Company (Canadian National) has paid a $20,000 civil penalty to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for three air quality violations in 2007.
The DM & IR transports taconite pellets from three Minnesota taconite plants to its facilities in Duluth and Two Harbors for storage, loading and shipment on the Great Lakes. Taconite pellets can generate dust emissions during railcar unloading and ship loading, moving and stockpiling.
