Seven tractor-semi-trailer units have replaced four 42-ton steam locomotives of Chinook Mine, near Staunton, Clay County, Ill, for hauling coal from strip pits to preparation plant; changeover resulted in reduction of transportation crew from 24 to 11 men, and in decreased haulage operating and maintenance costs.
