Location: Eagle Mills Ore Improvement Plant, Negaunee, MI

The Eagle Mills Pellet Plant was located at the east end of Eagle Mills Yard and became operational in November, 1957. It was reached via a CTC controlled branch off the main line which continues to exist today (2023) even though the plant has been removed.

This plant processed ore from the Mather B and Republic mines in the 1950's and 1960's. The plant was adjacent and directly connected to the Pioneer Pellet plant. [LSI2]
