| DESCRIPTION | THE PLANT - This is the coal tunnel dump for Plant 6. Two long cars of the plant's Hannibal Connecting Railroad, overflowing with coal, can be seen with the employees shoveling coal off the cars. The dead end track the cars sit on appears to be above an obvious drop off. None of the employees pictured are identified, but many of them were probably immigrant laborers from Central and Southern Europe. |
