Remarks & Notes 
Riding high on the ore dock lead is the Dumper Job with 6715 and 1506. The Baldwin/EMD 6 axle hybrids were pretty much confined to yard duty by 1978 and 1506 would soon be retired. The Dumper Job worked the ore yard and spent most of its day building outbound trains, kicking out bad orders and spotting 48 car cuts of loads at the dumper shed.
