• I think this is the construction of the new C&H coal dock in Hubbell. The scaffolding is supporting the bridgework for the new coal unloader, the one that survived until the end of C&H operations. One of the concrete footings for the rail that the crane moved back and forth along the dock is right along the edge of the dock under construction. Most of the railroad track would eventually be removed as this would be where the coal was piled.
