<p>I'll go ahead and drop in a plug here for Tony Koester's article in the Feb 1997 issue of MR, which will probably say all the things dave said. Also there is an article in Trains magazine written by David P Morgan in the April 1956 magazine entitled "Tide 470", which is about coal movement for export. You might also try your prototype railroad's historical society for information about how it moved coal in the time period you are modeling and where it was moved. </p> <p> </p> <p>I will go out on a limb here and say: <a href="https://www.nwhs.org/index.php">https://www.nwhs.org/index.php</a>, based on your profile picture.</p>
