Turtle7 - The PSL that I remember from the late 50's primarily used their own hoppers, and I want to say, at that time, they did use a caboose (although I wouldn't stake my life on it). That line from Freeburg to ESL was used exclusively by Peabody for coal transport and only occasionally saw other traffic when they were hauling machinery to the mine site. I seem to recall seeing components for Big Paul, one of their huge stripping shovels, being hauled on the PSL.
