The Savanna coaling station was indeed a standard design on the Q, called a car haul type by the railroad and used at probably two dozen locations through the years.  The one at Savanna was built by company forces in 1904 and altered in 1939 with three pockets modified to hold 50 tons of stoker coal and a fourth pocket abandoned as part of the modifications.  I don't know when it was torn down, but it was not replaced with another conventional coal chute, though a small conveyor-type coaling station MAY have been used toward the end of steam.  Attached is the two-page diagram sheet of the Savanna chute.

That looks like the same type of bunker the Q had at Edgemont and Newcastle.
