Thank you for posting. Date: 12/01/16 07:22 Re: BB: CN 4-8-2 #6069 @ coaling dock, 1958 Author: NKP779 Surprising how clean the paint job is at this "late" date. Thanks for sharing.

Quite an impressive structure. Date: 12/02/16 04:39 Re: BB: CN 4-8-2 #6069 @ coaling dock, 1958 Author: Finderskeepers I count 10 chutes

I don.t know if they emptied the chutes. Also when a switcher shoved cars up the rump it was quite a show. Then came the diesels.

Many had a steeper ramp, upon which cars were shoved onto the ramp with a cable powered "Barney". -LD |
