Pete,
I don't have much information on Bethlehem Steel about the broad gauge line. I do they had 2 different kinds of board gauge cars. On was a transfer car with a control cab and the other was a hopper type cars with electric motor for movement.
The way these cars work was the transfer cars was loaded at the sinter plant or at the marital yard with sinter or other martials then transfer to the blast furnace high line. The hopper type cars was load from a rotary dumper then it was moved along the marital transfer yard and then it dumped in the appropriate place. There was at one time a video of this operation on YouTube but I not seen it in some time.
