Good question, Rod, but I'm afraid I can't say definitively. My pay timeboo=
k records only go back to Sep 1978 and on Sept 12, 1978 I was called  for a=
 Kiewit "P" unit train. Whether that was my first and one of the earliest I=
 don't know? I had lots of them (way too many) after that. I came to Sherid=
an from Alliance in Sep 1975 and it was a few years after that the new unit=
 train loadout track,  concrete silo, and tipple was built. So late summer =
of 1978 seems reasonable? When did you come to Sheridan from Alliance? Was =
the new loadout there then? Might narrow it down another year or so.=20
I last worked a P train (Kiewit, Bighorn Mine) on 12/22/85. But I took the=
 west pool about that time so I can't say when the last unit train ran out =
of the new Kiewit tipple.=20
I had to manually skim thru my old BN paper timeslip books for this info s=
ince I don't have those early years computerized yet. I was surprised to se=
e that I was still occasionally working Mine Run jobs to the old tipple as =
late as Oct 12. 1981.
