"Black Beauty........of another sort". "Black Beauty" is the trade name of a type of grit used for sand blasting. But this "black beauty" is doing double duty as a 1600 hp portable air compressor to power the sand blasting operation. Note the "pot" sitting in front of the locomotive hooked up to the train line hose.
