I am claiming fair use for this proprietary image in the articles on the Baffinland iron mine and the Baffinland tote road. Dirt roads are not uncommon. But this one is remarkable, as it is not built for reegular size vehicles, but for these 200 ton behemoths. The mine and the port facilities are over 100 km apart. The original plan was to connect the mine to port facilities to the south, 125 km away. The current scaled down plan uses the tote road.
Normally the 200 ton behemoths stick to the vicinity of a mine. A behemoth sized loader loads a truck, which drives away to the nearby processing plant, and is promptly replaced by another. At Baffinland, once filled, the truck embarks on a trip to the port. Round trip time? 2 hours? 4 hours? 6 hours? They budgeted for something like 100 trucks in order to keep the behemoth loader able to load a truck every couple of minutes.
