Loading |

Loading loal at the CF&I mine using the newly installed (new at the time) flood loader. Loading under the silos, in the background, was the old method used but required runnin' the train over a scale and "adjusting" the tonnage in each car. Catagory correction: ON cab. |

| Title: |
Gettin into position |
| Description: |
After pullin' through the load-out facility the engine had to run around its train, couple up, shove back to spot the head car and begin loadin". 5574 is actually a 3300 hp. unit, hence the red numberboard. Several C30's were "souped up", as were several SD40's, in an effort to reduce the total number of units needed in coal service. |
