Great Western Sugar Company. November 1962. Billings MT. Light snow, the first of the season, is expected with no accumulation.

It's late November, 1962, and the sugar beet harvest is well under way in Montana and Wyoming. Beets are being delivered to the mill in Billings by truck and rail.
This video follows the early morning crew as they spot a hopper of lime, used for sugar extraction, hoppers of coal for the boilers and beet gondolas to the mill dump where the beets are unloaded and transported into the factory for conversion into cossettes which are converted into molasses and sugar crystals. Cars containing finished products are pulled back to the main yard.
 

SLRR S1 2648 is ordered to assist 2626, another S1, pull its long freight train uphill, climbing over some moderately steep grades. Here we see 2648 being turned, attached to the train, and departing the yard/facility, beginning its uphill battle.

Cheers,
SM
 


Back to the sugar mill.

Great Western Sugar Company. Late November 1962. Billings MT. Light snow is expected to continue with no accumulation.

After bringing several loads back to the yard, the switch crew is getting ready to take a string of empties to the sugar mill while CB&Q #79 drops off some beet gons picked up between Billings and Sheridan.
The mill crew will spot empty covered hoppers for loading bulk sugar and some box cars for sacked sugar. They will pull back the empty gons from the beet dump and replace them with a string of loads.
 

A Busy Shift
Northern Pacific Laurel yard. Spring 1962. Four to Midnight shift.
Four trains enter the interchange yard during this shift. First the NP eastbound 604 aka the Fruit Train followed by CB&Q #78 from Denver. Later in the shift GN #79 will arrive at the east end of the yard followed by CB&Q #79 from Omaha. Two of these trains are transporting stock that will need to be fed and watered before they are sent east on NP #602 which will be made up here in Laurel. NP 604 is pulling reefers that need to be iced as well as some mechanical reefers that need to be checked for fuel level. Withing a year the mechanicals will completely replace the reefers requiring iceing. The GN and CB&Q trains will interchange cars that will be sent out early the next day.
