Reference the DPL / Richardson photo.

I assume that the "hole" between the rails is the location of the Gunnison ashpit. I also assume that the gon is for hauling away the ashes. Looks like shoveling out the ashpit was not an easy job here, unless some sort of front loader was used. That's quite a throw from the bottom of the ashpit to the top of the gondola.....
