Unknown Photo

Here is a photo I would like to identify.  I think it is the Canton Railroad in Baltimore, MD.  The hopper full of coal being shoved up the incline by the mole to a rotary dumper.  The dumper in turn filling the smaller hoppers which may be self-propelled or on a incline, going to a power plant.
Unknown Photo

I now believe this is the PRR Coal Pier at Canton in Baltimore.  The small hoppers are cable cars.  Here is the reference at the Library of Congress site.
