Its January, Its 2001, thats really all I can say about it.


Snow is falling in the valley as No4 takes a plow extra out of Cassville Yard
As she heads into Summit curve, the plow starts to dig in
The plow extra pulls up to the water tower at Roastree to top off her tanks
Ed get ready to mount the tender deck, while Irv brings No4 in on the money
No 4 hammers on up the line with the plow on her nose
Its really gettin deep by the time they get into the Big Cut
Rostree tank, tracks are cleared, no trains in sight.
Paul and Tiny discuss the run about to be made.  No 6 simmers quietly in the backround.
Tiny conferrs with Tom McCormick about the days switching jobs
No1 simmers in the early morning sun, Ready for the day's work ahead!
No1 waits in the hole, while No6 brings in a string of 7 ton hoppers
No6 is spotting a string of loads on the main, then she will head for the service track while No1 shifts them into the head house
No1 grabs a hopper off the main gettin ready to shove it to the siding
No 1 gets ready to take a load up the hill to the coke oven head house
With the loads out of the way, No1 puts together a string of empties for No6 to handle back to the mine.
Two more empties get added to the train.
No 1 backs down the hill with a freshly emptied hopper.
Same hopper different view.
She pauses at the switch.
Theres snow on the mountain, as Cabin 01 round Summit curve on the rear of the plow extra.
