How did they actually get the coal into the coal tower?

If someone's already said this and I missed it I apologize, but when I was a kid, I remember some old timers talking about a coal tower that use to be here where I live just out side of town, and they said coal was brought in by train, dumped in a big pile near the tower, then someone would shovel it into an elivator type set up that would carry it up and dump it into the hopper at the top of the tower until needed. I don't know if this is true for sure or not, but if so, it was probably in the 1920s or 30s. I can't seem to locate any pictures of it in any of the local history books and no one I've talked to remembers it. <br /> <br />trainluver1
