I'm  a little confused. I was not aware that Pier 4 had a "kick back." Pier 
5, yes,  but the hoppers for pier 4 were unloaded before the coal got to 
the pier. It  was carried to the pier in transfer cars.   Jim  Nichols

 
Jim Nichols:
You are correct, the Pier 4 dumper(s) and "kick back" were NOT  a component 
of the pier, but were located   inshore.
 
Here is Mr. Smith's obituary (in part) from the February, 1957 edition of  
the Norfolk & Western Magazine"
"The Norfolk & Western has suffered the misfortune of losing  an able, 
beloved, and widely known opera-
 ting officer in the prime of his career - Harry Burke Smith, 54,  general 
superintendent, Eastern General
 Division.  Mr. Smith was killed in an accident at Lamberts Point  coal 
piers on January 19.  He was struck
 by an empty coal car.  The tragedy occurred at 9:15  P.M.   . . . . . . ."
