During the recent construction on the Leetown Division,a rich vein of pure Flux was found on the Stoney Creek mountain.Cookie Gibson quickly purchased the land and has built the newest Gern industry---it will be known as the Bowyer Mine---named after the previous owner of the land where the flux was discovered.It was reported that Mr.C.E.Bowyer is now living down south where he has purchased a hobby railroad with his new found fortune.

My take on the same structure.

Rich Jahn operates the crane as we drop the last fan into position on DL&W F-3 #664.

The opening of the GERN Bowyer Mine really improved the local economy with all the newly created jobs including a very busy switching assignment on the Leetown Division.Shunting heavy hoppers on an incline requires some big power such as this P5 class switcher #8382.
