I know of one coal fired powerplant that would dump the ash into hopper cars and gondolas. The hoppers would unload the coal on one track and then be moved to another for loading with ash. Then there was a powerplant for a industrial plant that would have one car of coal brought in, dump the coal into a bin below the tracks, and a buckets on a chain drive would carry the coal to the top of the coal bunkers inside to feed the boilers, then as the chain driven buckets would return to the bottom,they would pick up ash and head up to a bin above the hopper car, and dump the ash. From there the bucket would return to the below coal bin for a new load and continue this cycle.
