The road power usually cut off at Mt Union (note the brakeman climbing out of the cab). The yard crew then switched the hoppers over to the coal cleaning plant leads. The other engine(s) could be the yard job and possibly a helper. The road power would be coaled, watered and turned for the run back to Rockhill or Robertsdale with empty hoppers.
