I have memory of coal being delivered to the house I grew up in. I seem to recall the coal was "golf ball" to "Potato" size. it was dumped through a basement window via a chute, and then we had to move it to the other end of the basement, near the furnace. The Coal dealer in Lindenhurst, L.I. New York, was some time out of business by the mid to late fifties, when I paced off the dimensions of the storage building to build this:
The building was in the condition I modeled it in.
When I was at the Naval Receiving Station, Anacostia, I remember seeing an 0-4-0 with a load of coal hoppers, possibly for St. Elizabeths Hospital ?

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
