Geez, there is no reason to assume that it's copyrighted. It's off of a government website without copyright notice and credit was given to the author. It looks like a press release for Robert P. Wolensky's book.
At any rate, I wrote Bob Wolensky for explicit wikipedia permission. Waiting for a reply. In the mean time I going to reconsider advocating wiki*.org. It's a little to
anal retentive around here.

I strongly oppose simply deleting an entry for "presumed" copyright violations. Pennsylvania declares it's government archives without copyright notice as "for public use". Further more,
IMHO this article appears to be
fair use as a
press release.

I emailed the author for GFDL release on Jun 15, but have not received a response. The response I got from Pennsylvania's' webmaster was the standard, canned, pass the buck answer, "ask the original author for permissions". I suppose policy will dictate this articles future. When in doubt delete or keep? I don't care.

As we have heard nothing, it is clearly written by Robert P. Wolensky, it's not public domain (if it was we wouldn't have got the canned response from the web master) I am presuming it's a copyvio. It's not a press release - it's an article.

My father, Robert Millard was train master for the Pennsylvania Rail Road and was responsible for shoving many coal cars full of straw into the whirl pool trying to stop the flow, but all efforts failed untill a coffer dam was built. As I remember it was weeks of dumping coal cars into the hole.
