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.....
