A rare pairing of Squaw Creek Alco RSD15 “Alligators” pulling loads from the mine to the Yankeetown Dock yard on the Ohio River. One of the units was off line and the other was having problems and the three Yankeetown Dock SD38s were called on to get the train over the hill between Booneville and Yankeetown. Squaw Creek coal was used at the Alcoa plant as well as at the YD barge transfer. (C)1981 (Photo by Chuck Hinrichs) |
