Recently I made a stop at the Grand River Railway doing loading of salt at Morton Salt Company in Fairport Harbor at the Fairport Mine. With that, I took quite a bit of video and photos, but for video and photos, these were the best I took. That all bells forward Nathan 5 Chime K5LA train horn is the best K5LA train horn I've heard since the NS Office Car Special.

Dominic, thanks. Yea, I see what you mean. That loader really reminds me of the Menards Morton loader.
Paducah rebuild?

Yes it is. It's an ex. ICG.
Working the salt mine will make maintenance and corrosion a major factor for those units. The ones near Salt Lake often look like a 8 year old car in Michigan or Ohio with rust eating away at the fringes.
