Well Packed Lump Coal
|
Steve Stull
Group;
Found this picture at the West Virginia Historical Photographs Collection. A C&O twin hopper loaded with lump coal, laid in so cleanly it almost looks like paving stones. Is this typical loading for this size of coal, or is it so well placed for the sake of the photographer? http://images.lib.wvu.edu/cgi/i/image/getimage-idx?viewid=003502.JPG; cc=wvcp;entryid=x-003502;view=image Steve M Stull Winslow 7076 |

Steve,
Most deffinitely a photo op for the RR. That may be the only neat as a pin photo of a hopper ever produced.

Fred,
I've got to admit, it looked awfully pretty to be a regular load, that, or they had one seriously complex loading facility :) Steve --- Frederick Freitas <prrinvt@...> wrote: Steve, ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons.

Richard,
I saw that pic, and a couple more, one of each variety. I'm currently wading through all 21,000 pics on the site. Some really incredible structures, trackwork, and cars to be seen there. Many of the photos don't have a caption, so a search wont find them. Same with the American Memory project at the Library of Congress. I have no idea when I'll be done going through those.

I had a similar if not the same problem. It's fairly common with links in the mailing lists also. For me anyhow. You see the posted link, but only part of it looks like a link ( blue print ). The rest of the link doesn't look like part of it ( black print ). When you try and copy and paste the entire link, only the part in blue appears after you paste. That's ok though, just minimize the page you pasted to before hitting ENTER. I then copy and paste ONLY the missing part ( black print ) and add it to the URL in the page I minimized, thus getting the whole web address I'm trying to link to. THEN you hit ENTER to access the desired link.

I do not know how your PCs work with e mail and URLs, But on My MAC when I get an email with a busted URL I hit reply and when that comes up I change the address from who ever to myself.

I then go to the URL and delete the space between the two parts. This makes it one. I send the email. When it comes back to me I click on the URL and it opens Safari and goes to the web page. WOW Macs with OSX.4 Tiger are good. Thank you Larry Jackman Boca Raton FL ljack70117@... I was born with nothing and I have most of it left On Jul 4, 2007, at 2:51 PM, toddsyr wrote:

At Burlingame, KS, George Fry had a coal business. He received stoker
coal and lump coal. Stoker coal came in hopper cars. Lump coal came in flat bottom cars. Lump coal wouldn't come out and at some time one of the workers was injured in the unloading. It was from then on that Mr. Fry's business only received lump coal in gondolas. Jared Harper Athens, GA |
