Why would the C&TS want to handle the coal twice? When the truck brings in the coal it is dumped and handled once by the front end loader right into the locomotives.What would be the point of added switching moves just to load the tipple just to turn
around and dump it into the locomotives? Yeah once in a while for historical purposes OK
as tight as money is it is better spent on other things..
