Cumberland coal mine SD38 #1 pulls a empty 38 car coal train across the 14 mile stretch to the loadout where the engineer will hop off and load his own train and return to the dumper where he will then dump his own train. Takes about an hour and a half to load and the same amount of time to dump and on a good day if the mine doesn't run out of coal these guys can make 2 trips in an 8 hour day.
