Wouldn't that be a box containing the phone equipment?

Recently someone asked me about cars (of another road) which were designated "Shaving(s) Cars" in the Equipment Register.

This made me think about the Shaffers Crossing planing mill. The planing mill had a large metal retaining tank, perhaps 60 feet in the air, into which I think the wood shavings from the planing work may have been blown. It was located on the south side of the planing mill, adjacent to the Ice House.

Does anyone know how disposition was made of the shavings? Were they burned on-site for steam generation, sold, or disposed of as trash?  Unfortunately, the planing mill was closed shortly before I hired, and I never took time to explore it or ask questions.

Photo attached, with red arrow pointing to this tank.  Notice that the tender of Engine 2112 sports an antenna for what appears to be inductive train phone equipment.
