Eastern Railroad Discussion > Vacuum cleaning up coal on the ballast

Back in '21 CSX had a coal car door open up in the Alliance coal loop at Princeton, IN. Evidently no one was around to notice what happened so the train continued around and out of the loop. Amazingly no more coal spilled out until the train was passing by here at the farm and for some reason a little bit more let go at this location. I let the crew drive back our lane to the spot to be cleaned up with the vacuum truck saving them the time and trouble to high rail back there. Just a little track time to vacuum up the mess and come up to the shed and watch us run potatoes with permission to steal with the bag provided. LOL!

Fun! The same way I clean the Z Gauge tracks, except with a keyboard vacuum. But don't get a bag and any potatoes :(
