Joseph Hardy is the one, as co-author of Corbin's "Burlington in Transition",
who did the Black Hills chapter. His "BR West" is indeed a great CB&Q in
general and some fine Black Hills info in particular.

Joseph Hardy's Burlington Route West (South Platte Press, 2000), p. 19, has a
photo taken from the waycar behind the second of 2 articulateds moving 8 (that
is *eight*) boxcars loaded with feldspar up the Keystone branch in 1948. (It's
a 4% grade.)
Hardy's book has a chapter on his experiences working for the Burlington in the
Black Hills, including a number of his own photos not reproduced elsewhere (I
believe).
