Monster Ash Pit in Scranton Yards Promises Huge Efficiency
Scranton's Lackawanna yards break ground on the world's largest ash pit. A solid concrete structure with tracks atop enables one crane to replace eighteen men. Ashes from engines drop into a central pit, pass through chutes and perforated fans, water cools them, and a crane hoists the material into surface cars for removal. The facility includes winter water protection and is hailed as a premier example of its kind.
