Hopper bottom cars deliver coal into atrack hopper. I he coal is then elevatedby bucket elevator, discharging into aflight conveyor which distributes thecoal into the bunkers, located over theboiler room. The coal is fed by gravityto the stokers through chutes with gatesoperated from the boiler room floor. Ashes are dumped from the stoker intoa hopper directly underneath. The hop-per terminates in a gate. A bucket on acar traveling on an industrial track ismanually pushed underneath the hopper,loaded by gravity with ashes and thenmanually shoved to a point below anelectrically driven hoist which elevatesthe bucket and automatically dumps itinto a hopper above the railroad and coal handling arrangement issuch that the railroad car is used tobring in coal and load with ashes with-out changing its position.
