The bulk transfer "pit" at the Gramps end of the yard could handle coal, rock or other bulk
commodities. There are few pictures of it but it was a somewhat elevated side dump bin into a
lowered track to receive the transferred materials. The high volume transfer at Alamosa was pipe
which was fairly easy and sacked drilling mud which was done at least partially by hand into
boxcars, which was not.
