Ken,
That was the replacement for Burlington, Iowa's big
Kerr trestle-type coaling dock. It is "the little
three-pocket, clamshell-loaded coaling facility that
would last until the end of steam." "A three-chute,
open-top wooden container filled via clamshell bucket
by the steam-powered crane." quotes taken from
Burlington Bulletin # 23 'Burlington, Iowa'.
btw, has anyone scratch-built or kitbashed to make one
of these. I would be interested.
