*Sigh*...confession time...those "bottom dump" coal bins make a conveniant way to get down off the trestle, provided there is a huge pile of coal waiting for you to get a foothold after you slip beneath the ties, helps if you are only an 8 year old moron when you attempt this stunt. But it works quite well. <br /> <br />On the rotary dump (and I've never seen one) it makes sense that the rotating cylinder would be centered "top to bottom" with the coupler, but I'd think some lateral offset would be needed in the "side to side" orientation, to facilitate the "slip" uncoupling, lest you'd otherwise give the most adjacent car a judo flip..
