The Q refered to the assembly as a "Dry Hopper", at least on waycars.   I think 
most mainline passenger stock had a flapper and water flushing to block the 
view of rushing rails and provide some insulation from the fact that you were 
dropping your load on the ground.  Can you imagine today's public using such a 
device?   We're only a few generations removed from when most of the population 
used outdoor privies.... now even some Portapotties have flushing!!  I'm amazed 
that railroad ROWs have not been declared hazardous waste sites due to the 
century of human waste deposititation.....
