MGA-CR 6241 at Waynesburg, PA
Conrail SD40 6271 leads a train loading at Emerald Mine No 1 at Waynesburg, PA on June 2, 1991.
The train is loading on the Emerald siding and the near track is the Waynesburg Southern Branch to the mines in West Virginia. The track diverging to the left is the Manor Branch to Bailey Mine with the switch being the junction at CP MAN at MP W0.8. Emerald Mine had a loadout that flood loaded trains with two separate dumpers thereby cutting the time required to load nearly in half as compared to other mines at the time.
Conrail SD40 6271 was built in January 1971 as PC 6271 and became CR 6271, it later was rebuilt to a SD40-2R in October 1993 as CR 6992 and became CSXT 8882.
