No Coal today, thanks!
Title:  No Coal today, thanks!
Description:  Five units bring an eastbound SP freight through the legs of a long-retired coal tower at Deming NM in the summer of 1983. SD40T-2 8525 is followed by a trio of B30-7s and a single GP40-2. The tower dates from the mid-1920s when SP acquired the El Paso & Southwestern RR, whose steam power burned coal instead of oil, five towers being built between El Paso and Tucson on the SP "north" main to service the 'new' power. They all came down by 1998.
