Nostalgia & History > BB: Rock hauling coal, Watkins, CO 1977, and a pic of BB

Rock #228,4306,194 and 4318 with eastbound coal loads @ Watkins, CO on Nov. 19, 1977. By Bruce Black

Had a request to post a pic of Bruce, I took this pic of Bruce on Feb. 7, 1983 (probably a re-post)

Very Cool!!

Just out of curiosity, anyone have an idea where the coal was headed to ?

Best guess: the coal is going to the power plant near Hallam, NE. Hallam was on the RI main line between Omaha and Belleville, KS. When the Rock folded UP took over the line between Fairbury and Hallam.
