They only ran a handful of these trains (maybe 4 or 5), and photos are
fairly rare. From what I remember, the coke was loaded into the hoppers
at E'port from a ship, but I don't know the ultimate destination of the
coke - most likely for a steel plant, but where I'm not sure where in
the Scranton area this would have been? Unless it was passed off to the
Reading at Rupert to go to Bethlehem?
