Taylor -

Not much going on, a D&H unit in the old Lightning Stripe Scheme.

Also, there is construction at the former Moffat Colliery site - they
are moving the flow of a creek bed, getting rid of
debris from the breaker, and taking down some retaining walls.

The site eventually will be graded and then some sort of housing is
likely to be built here.
