The acid test of coal preparation is to lift your boom to clear and direct the critical eye of the camera against your coal to determine whether or not you are loading your coal properly. This is just what the camera man did in this case. No previous warning or preparation, he just stopped at a tipple, asked the inspector to lift the boom and took this picture. Note again the firmness of this coal in the railroad car; not a trace of slack or impurities.
