Well they could build a car dumper like the one at Salida and then they could use high side gons. Takes care of unloading, but you would need a tipple to get them loaded. Hey if they built a tipple loader, they could show passengers how coal and limestone were handled on the narrow gauge. They say people learn best when they are actively involved, this could be a great learning environment.
