...I watched engines load coal and spent a lot of time wondering around the servicing area. And I do not remember seeing the buckets operate. I was too preoccupied with those darn steam engines. I'm guessing that is something the roundhouse folks did when the engines were out of town, and of course when the engines where out of town we were out of town chasing them. So now is our chance! What a neat project. But then the Friends have so MANY neat projects. Kinda one wow after another looking through the pix.
