Well, two, I lied, but that's okay during election season.
Flattened tops of coal loads: how'd the do that; and why'd the do that?
This picture is now in the screen saver program in this thing.

The “flat top” on the coal loads is caused by the shoot on the continuous loader. The cars will be pulled on the loader normally at .5 MPH. A shoot is controlled by a human operator who will lower the shoot down when the car is underneath and the coal will flow till the opposite end of the car approaches, the operator will then turn off the flow of coal and raise the shoot. What you see in this pic is uniform loads so the operator was doing a good job.

Ah, thanks.
And just noticed there are two "the" which should have been "they" in my comment.

This is a very enjoyable picture and landscape, Chase. I remember on a number of occasions leaving the house on a pleasant, sunny day, and by the time we arrived on Mr. Cresson a couple of hours later it was a winter wonderland with heavy snow squalls and swirling winds.
