6-29-14 "Rock Hounds" in the yard????

After train 215 arrived Sunday afternoon the fire patrol pop car ran up to the tipple where two crewmen unloaded several heavy rocks. They piled them on the ground on lower right bottom of pic. Sorry for poor quality.

Nice catch and thanks for the explanation Larry, I got on late - noticed the rock pile, wondered how it got there.

You'll note that it two men to lift each of the rocks to unload them. This morning, a member of the engine crew came by in his black pickup to retrieve them. He got all but one of them loaded by himself, but had to leave behind the biggest one, which is definitely a "two-man rock".

Ok, if this is the case another question: What's the rate for LCL freight?? :)
