Two remaining derricks! I did not know there were any of them still in active service. What are they used for? Are they still steam powered? Do any of the other railroads still have them? I seen one in use in 1969 on the Illinios Central Gulf. Still was steam powered. That thing was powerful, watched it drag a coal car still full with coal up a embankment like the car was still on rails. <br /> TIM A
