This happy looking group of people, which incidentally is twice as large as last year's, are at the conclusion of our tour of the Lambert's Point coal loading facility. They look somewhat happier than they did last year 'cause this year the temperature was much more bearable. If your smiling face isn't one of the ones standing in front of N&W SD-40 1590 we hope that you'll make it next year. |
