I am hoping to add a small coal/fuel business to my shelf layout. I have something in mind like the old Sweeney Coal that was located where the Saugus Branch crossed Denver Street. My problem is that I really can't remember much about it, having last seen it 50 years ago. I was sort of hoping that some rail fan here might have an old photograph of the area. What I do remember was that the coal was dumped into an in-ground bunker and the loaded into some covered bunkers with a portable conveyer. I think they also used the conveyer to load the delivery trucks. I also recall some fuel tanks for home heating oil.

Thanks to all
