posted three photos with the comment: "Berry Coal Mine, Putnam County, Granville, Illinois. The mechanism tilting the box car is interesting. I have seen this to unload grain but never in a coal situation. Any information would be gratefully appreciated."
Paul Meier: Looks like a way to fill boxcars. Pity the guy who has to unload them.
Roger Kujawa: Paul Meier I remember hearing the Burlington used box cars for coal. I never considered how the loaded them.

I noticed that back then the NYC/Kankakee Belt/CI&S did not share the Milwaukee route to the Illinois River bridge. That is a detail that the 2005 SPV Map does not have.
