Olean Sugar Mill

By August 1986, the mill had officially dispensed with oil firing and the locomotives burned bagasse. So the fireman had much more work to do than previously, but that included having a drum of sump oil on the footplate, into which bagasse would be dipped before going into the firebox. 7 is hauling its train just north of Duwet.
