NS locals @ Bethlehem & Mertztown, Pa.
Author: jim6300loco

Yesterday Beertrain and I went to Bethlehem and Mertztown and saw H76 and KO7. H76 came out of Allentown yard onto the Lehigh Line at Bethlehem and KO7 was returning to Allentown from Reading by Mertztown at track speed.

The scientific name of the stone is coal.

Why yes it is if it is for sure coal. However if you look at the loads as they go by they look sort of grayish instead of black. could be a light reflection off of shinny Anthracite coal. I believe Bituminous is duller.

It's definitely coal, the finer stuff goes out in the covered hoppers
