Found this picture today of the PRR coal dock that once spanned the mains at Piqua Yard, the only color picture I have ever seen of it. I don't think it's ever been posted here before. Also, check out that center cab locomotive.

That whole slide show is interesting as it was all before my time.

Re: PRR Coal Dock
When I was staking out new tracks for Triple Crown, I saw that the concrete pads radiating around the former turntable were still there. So there is still proof it was there.

Re: PRR Coal Dock
Some of those pads are clearly visible on Google Earth. I've ALWAYS wanted to go back there, but have resisted the urge.
If my opinions offend you, you should see the ones I keep to myself........
