The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #IX.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Don, I think what you saw was a new Pozzolan mine.  My understanding is that there is a renewed demand for Pozzolan for concrete manufacturing because there is less fly ash available due to coal power plants closing.  I'm not sure if I had to deal with it because of work or just read read a news article somewhere.  I can't remember if they will ship by rail, but I don't know why they wouldn't.

You are right Kevin, my friend sent me an article about them reopening the mine. There is a really rusty set of rails on the other side of the road, I think I did see some cars parked there once. It's not an active line, but they have to go somewhere. Here's a shot of a SF overpass just north of Skull Valley. I've been trying to get a shot of it for a long time, this time someone else was driving so I took this. Don't know when the last time it was painted, but yes, it still says, "Santa Fe"....
