Ice harvesting by gravity powered conveyor at Walker's Pond Maine
A Maine ice company near West Brooksville uses an endless belt system to move ice from Walker's Pond down to icehouses on the coast. The setup relies on gravity with brakes to control speed and could, in theory, create a vast water breach if the hill were bored through. The pond and Bagaduce river define regional geography and the site yields perch and other fish alongside year round ice shipping.
