Re: [PHOTOS] Polo Grounds Shuttle - Part 2

The Flat Car has a load of coal which in this scene, is carrying coal for the bridge steam engines that power the bridge. The Coal is shoveled by the crew men into the open-cover coal chute opening seen to the right of the flat car - the coal falls to bunkers below.

So that's how coal was delivered. You learn something new everyday.

Thanks Joe.
