I think Mainline Modeler had the plans for a large coaling station.  I have to search for the issue manually as I don't have an index.

This topic has come up before on this list, and no one seems to have drawings of the Burlington coal chute.  But attached is a scan of minimal plans for the somewhat larger but similar design chute at Western Ave. in Chicago.  Dave Lotz has assembled a substantial number of photos detailing the Burlington chute and I'm sure he'll gladly make them available to you once he returns home; he's been out here in Denver on a business trip.

I’d like to model the three chute coal bin in Burlington, and while several photos are available, I haven’t found the dimensions. The facilities lists for the B&NW and B&W (BB#30) show 16 x 61 ft. coal bins in Winfield and Oskaloosa. Is it correct to assume that these coal bins were open top and of the same dimensions as the open top coal bin in Burlington? If the bins in Winfield and Oskaloosa were open top, did they also use clamshell cranes to load them from gondolas? Does anyone on the list have the correct dimensions for the Burlington coal bin, including height?
