This is the east side of the structure taken from the rear of the loading arm which can be seen to the left of the photo.  The diagonal brace leading from the top of the tower to the left of  photo was one of two.		This photo was taken from almost the same vantage point as the one to the left but looking a little to the south.  The cradle that the loading arm rests on can be seen in the centre of the picture.  The under slung moveable conveyor can be seen just to the left of the cradle.		Here is the base of the covered conveyor which moved the pellets up into the loader.  The two "grizzlies" are hidden behind the brush which has grown up since the facility was abandoned.

This motor and drive unit was part of the apparatus that swung the loading arm out into position over the Lake Freighter being loaded.		These cables are attached to the bottom of the loading arm supports and were used to rotate the arm into position over the ship.

This is the back, or north side of the loading tower.  The enclosed conveyor belt can be seen entering the top third of the tower.  The dark square to the right of the conveyor is a door leading to an inspection walkway which runs down the side of the conveyor.		Here is a shot of an old loading chute I found lying on the ground at the rear of the structure.		Another photo of the rear of the loader.  The west tower brace can be clearly seen leading down to the right in this photo.  These braces were anchored to large square concrete foundations at the bottom end.

This is the loading arm tower photographed from the front of the loader.  The east tower brace can be seen running down diagonally from the top of the tower.  The cables which raised and lowered the loading arm can also be seen leading down from the top of the tower.  The loading arm is at the lower right of the photo.  The entire tower pivoted on its base and on the tower braces to rotate the loading arm into position over the lake freighter.		Here is a photo of the loading arm at the half way point.  The cables at the top come from the top of the tower and serve to raise and lower the arm.  The end of the fixed conveyor and its electric motor drive can be seen on the top of the arm.  The outer end of the moveable conveyor and its electric motor are directly below.  The structure to the lower right is the support the arm rests on when parked in the stored position.		The lower portion of the loading arm tower is shown here.  The two struts at the bottom lead down to the turntable that rotates the tower.  the loading arm can be seen in the upper right of the photo.  Access to the tower was via the walkways and ladders on the left.  The operators cabin is the dark object in the centre of the photo.  By this time, six years after abandonment, the windows have all been smashed and the controls vandalised.

It is hard to make out details in this badly exposed photo, however the general relationship between the loading tower, the loading arm, the loading arm support tower and the tower braces can be seen.		This small motor and pump unit stood in front of the pellet loader.  The coupling on the end of the pump is a standard fuelling coupling so I suspect that this device was used to unload fuel for the Loader from either a boat docked beside it, or from a tank truck on the dock.  The yacht parked in the right centre of the photo was of a visitor to Little Current who was waiting for a berth to open up in the marina across the harbour.		Here is another overall shot of the inner loading arm and tower.  The operators cabin can be clearly seen here.  The lighter coloured pipe on the loading arm is the cover for the fixed conveyor belt.

The overall relationship between the loading arm, the tower, the moveable conveyor and the operators cabin can be made out in this front photo of the pellet loader.		Another general view of the loading arm and its support tower.		And yet another view.  One of the traveling conveyors trucks can be seen in the centre of this photo.

This overall view of the loader was shot from across the harbour near the tourist information bureau.		Here is a shot of the underside of the unloading bridge.  The tracks have been removed from the bridge years ago.		This is a shot, also taken across the harbour shows the unloading bridge and the loader conveyor.

This 2-photo panorama of the west end of Goat Island clearly the Pellet loader and its accompanying unloading siding.  The fill to the left of the bridge is the tail portion of the unloading siding and has now been removed along with the rest of the Pellet Loader.
