heading to N&W country (nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org)

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm thinking what he's looking for are the old
style coal tipples loading coal from the mine for shipment, rather than
the coaling towers for steam locomotives.  I'm not aware of any
decent-sized old tipples up there any more, but it's possible.  You
might get lucky and find a little truck ramp-type somewhere, but that's
about it that I know of.
