Was the coal tipple in use or closed? Looks to be in good condition?

It just closed within the last year or so. Coal trucks used to pull over where i'm parked and cross over the highway, making a big u-turn, pull onto a set of scales, and then back up to the hopper and dump. Now they have these concrete barriers there blocking it off.

I was standing over on the other side of where the red KW is dumping when I took the pictures.

The yellow thing is a tender box for a John Deere air drill, I never thought there was any fields big enough for air drills and larger stuff like we have out on the plains, but then again I've never gone that far east.

It was going south on I-79 between I-70 and West Virginia, no telling where it was going- perhaps to Oklahoma.

By the way, the Sooners better get something going here pretty quick- the Longhorns are kicking their asses right now, in the 4th. quarter.

Very good score on big Mack trucks this time!

Some of those shots put me in a worry though.

Good you explained that later, I was wondering who drove the red KW while you was doing a pee stop.

Cool Silverado. Looks nice in red.

I have to say I am disappointed in your P.O.T.W. this week. I liked HatCity's much better, he didn't have to be prompted for seat covers.....Or beach towel hold-downs.

The log trucker is lucky he still has the rubber side down.

Nice segue!

I didn't hear a reason why the log truck was there or what happened, but it looked like a good breeze would have tipped it over. I met two big wreckers headed that way just down the road, I hope they got there before it capsized.

Stopped by the coal tipple again, just to take a picture this time. There's the coal dump and scales-
