That Teflon coating means the old girl stays drip dry.

Mostly logging and lumber on the Canada Atlantic, but they hauled a bit of coal.

(Thanks to Paul Charland for the coal company!)

Speaking of coal trains, I live 1 mile west of lake michigan, and i/2 mile west of UP, Metra. The coal trains rattle things on my walls during winter. In summer I can hear the coal trains whistleing a couple streets away, in time to pedal down to the nearest crossing and feel the horsepowar rattleing my innerds. Other than that thrill, my jollies with contemporary RR'ing is nill. Old narrow gauge trains get my full attention anytime.

For over 100 years, coal moved west and empties east on the B&O, leaving cinders 3+ feet deep on Sandpatch grade to this day.
