All of these hoppers are of theself-clearing type and are fitted with cast iron swinging doors. A coal crusher driven by a 6 in. x 6 in. steam engine is locatedon the tender and delivers coal to a belt conveyor which trans-fers it to a transverse trough from which it is discharged intothe longitudinal feed troughs. A Ryan-Johnson coal pusher isfitted in the coal space of the tender.
