Giant truck, giant load. This truck entering Winona has a load of hot-rolled steel wire rod, the raw material to make chain at Winona’s Peerless chain factory on East Sanborn Street. Peerless consumes about 1,400 tons per month — roughly 70 truckloads. Put another way: 2-1/2 trucks a day. This load is from a steel mill in Nebraska. Image: Kevin O’Reilly
