Re: Loading from an ore bin (pics)

Hi,
I always love learning these sorts of trivial items. Thanks. I never knew there was a difference between a bin and a tipple.
Of course, the non-southern reporters (I think it was during the Carter administration) came up with cow tipping as a sport here in the south. I guess the cows are in a cow tipple and when an open topped cattle car is placed under the gate, the gate is opened and the cows drop down the spout so they tipple into the cars.
(Did I say that?)
