Answer to the question was in my earlier post in the second photo I posted of Cimarron.
The Sheepboy, since there is one in each pen loading the two decks at the same time. I take it if his offsider is tardy getting the other penfull loaded then he stands there until done.

This Otto Perry picture segment (OP-7494) shows the drop deck and gate that swing out of the way to convert the chutes back to accommodate Cattle loading.
