| Here is a postal card image entitled "Black Diamonds Enroute to the Market from Windber, Pa.: 25,000 Tons Shipped Daily." Shown here is a pair of Pennsylvania Railroad "H" Class (2-8-0) "Consolidations" pulling a string of fully-loaded mineral cars. Paraphrasing Tennessee Ernie Ford's classic song: "You load 25,000 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt!" The photographer's name, the locomotive road numbers, and the exact date are not recorded. |
