Coal drag north

Steam Freight Train

Pointed in the opposite direction, but in the same spot from which the picture on the preceding page was made, the camera caught Mohawks 2523 and 2525 heading 78 loads of coal out of the yard at Corning. The pace was a tortuous 5 m.p.h., since there is no opportunity for making a running start here; in fact, the yard itself slopes steeply from north to south. More blasting was to be found on the rear-end; see the next page.
