The side dumps were regularly used to haul bulk talc from Keeler to Owenyo, where they were run up onto a trestle and dumped into standard gauge gons. HERE is a pic of the last such transload in April 1960. The side dump was probably sturdy (reasonably well maintained) and readily at hand. They also handled bagged talc in boxcars.
