Curious-- would "box car" coal be loaded into retail coaling sheds like those 
used on the D&RGW that had a door on the back/track side? Coal was shoveled 
from gons into the bins for access from the front. Shoveling through the door 
of a box car into a bin door would be relatively easy as you would not have 
to clear the side of a gon. Tough work any way.
