Barney Cars

[NW Mailing List]

Not sure about Sewells Point, but Lamberts Point
had a Barney Yard -- by my recollection, there
were two barney yards, sixteen tracks each.  One
class of coal was put in each track, then using
an illuminated number panel showing the track #,
the pin puller would cut the car off to roll by gravity
toward the dumper. It was possible to dump four different
classes of coal at the two rotary dumpers at one time.
