I should post more train stuff.

I'm currently working on building a Fairbanks Morse H10-44 by Cary Locomotive Works for the club I'm in. The shell clocks in at 12oz, and should be around a pound by the time I've added the chassis.

The kit was new old stock, unassembled, so I'm putting in the effort to build and solder the hand rails using Tichy wire. It didn't include enough stanchions to complete the wrap around nose hand rail, so I bent one around before learning I could get more.

I'll need about 10 more stanchions to complete the hand rails and add the coupler lift bar. It looks like I can just buy pre bent bars, so I'll get that instead of bending it myself.

Then I just need to finish the end rails and figure out how I want to build the add on rails from the prototype.

This FM is planned to be stationed at our future coal mine, which will be running heavy live loads. The heavy shell will boost the pulling power, as the Walthers model I have was incapable of pulling our existing fake load coal train on flat table.

The real locomotive that inspired the build is the only H10-44 Peabody Coal Company owned. PCCX 274 was purchased from the Frisco, where it was assigned the same number. I plan to paint this unit to match the mixed scheme Peabody gave 274 during their ownership, then patch cab numbers, and possibly hood lettering, using the club's shade of blue as backing. It will be as though our railroad purchased it from Peabody after the 70s.

It's going to be a real ugly duckling, but it'll pull a house down and put history into the scenes on the layout, while also calling out to my contribution and choice of railroad.

Today the new John Prine Memorial Park will be dedicated on the Green River in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. So here are Jamey Johnson and Kelsey Waldon covering Prine’s song “Paradise”. I have previously posted Prine’s performance of “Paradise”. __________________________ Paradise Songwriter: John Prine

When I was a child, my family would travel Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born And there’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered So many times that my memories are worn

And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where paradise lay? Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we’d travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the green river where paradise lay? Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where paradise lay? Well, I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I’ll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin’ Just five miles away from wherever I am

And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the green river where paradise lay? Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

Excerpt from this story from Grist:

Over the years, Horseherder has attended public hearings and testified in front of lawmakers, from the reservation to Washington, D.C., advocating for an end to extractive energy economies. She’s often been the lone voice in the room — confronting not only the coal companies and private interests, but also her own neighbors and tribal government. Now that the Navajo Generating Station has closed and other power plants in the region are soon to follow, her vision of a more sustainable energy economy — one powered by wind and solar — is coming more clearly into view. “No matter how frustrated I get, sometimes with the way tribal government works or with how hard it is sometimes to educate people and the community — still, it’s the right thing to do,” Horseherder told me. “And it’s a worthwhile thing to do.”

Though some states like New Mexico and Colorado have recently passed laws that together provide millions of dollars for workforce training and economic support for coal-dependent communities, other states, including Arizona and Nevada, have not. Horseherder is demanding support directly from utilities and industry. It’s a moral imperative, she says. “We’re trying to compel them to provide some kind of transition support for the Navajo Nation instead of just walking away and leaving — leaving the NGS plant and leaving the communities behind,” Horseherder said.

The demolition of the Navajo Generating Station marks the decline of coal in the West. And, if Horseherder is successful in her work, it will also symbolize the beginning of what she calls “a just transition”: a new, more equitable relationship with the energy economy — “one in which there is mutual benefit between the Navajo Nation and its partners,” Horseherder said.

With NGS shuttered, Horseherder is focusing on clean energy for the Navajo Nation by building support for renewable energy projects. Her organization and other grassroots groups, including the Black Mesa Water Coalition and Diné CARE, have pushed the Navajo Nation to develop a more progressive energy policy in recent years. “They’ve succeeded in making the conversation about transition,” said Andrew Curley, a Diné scholar and assistant professor at the University of Arizona who studies the relationship between coal and the Navajo Nation. “There was even reluctance about that initially. There was a perspective that coal doesn’t need to transition.”

That transition has been painful. The Navajo Generating Station and Peabody paid approximately $40 million in the 2019 fiscal year to the Navajo Nation and millions more to the Hopi. (In 2016, money from the industry accounted for nearly 80% of the tribe’s budget.) These royalties and leasing income funded essential government services like education and health care. “Everybody wants to talk in the language of economics,” Curley said. But it’s more than that; people forge identities around coal. “The dynamics that are often underappreciated are the social (and) political dynamics.”

Idling Alligator

Here we see a former Santa Fe Alco RSD15; I believe it was owned by the Squaw Creek Coal Company at the time I ran across it. I have some history of this very distinctive unit here...

9842 RSD15, was built by Alco in June 1960, #83578, as Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 842. It was renumbered 9842 Class 9800, in 1970, and sold to Precision National Corp in 1975. They sold it to Squaw Creek Coal Company as 9842 in 1975. It later became Peabody Coal Company 9842 and then was sold to Indiana Hi-Rail as 9842 in 1988. It was soon renumbered 442. It was sold to Austin & Texas Central as 442 in 2000 (source).

I’m not sure where I was when I saw this locomotive: Boonville or Yankeetown, Indiana, perhaps. [Someone of FB has since told me this is two or three miles north of Boonville.]
