Tom here is where the photo comes from. https://www.chieftain.com/article/20090329/NEWS/303299970

The information may or may not be correct. I agree the dump is not like any I’ve seen. Reminds me of a cinder dump seen at many steam engine service facilities. Based on the vintage of the stockcar I would say the dump is very early and perhaps was replaced with a design more like the images you shared.

Hey Doug,

I'm very interested in that beet dump photo you posted, want to know more, and, of course, would like a better rendition.
I'm from Rocky Ford & have family connections with the factory there.
I've not seen that kind of dump before.
Most are either of the type in the attached photos, or, of course, the modern steel traveling dumps.
