This is an original railroad article that was removed from the July 30, 1910 issue of Electric Railway Journal Magazine. The title of this article is "Bins for Submerged Coal Storage at Minneapolis". A paragraph from this article is provided below:

"The Twin City Rapid Transit Company has just completed the construction of a group of four coal bins which will permit the storage under water of 12,000 tons of coal. These bins are located 50 ft. distance from the boiler house of the main steam station of the company. The accompanying drawings show the principal construction features of the new coal bins. At Minneapolis it is possible to get an ample supply of screenings from December to April, but in the summer the supply is interrupted and therefore coal must be stored in the winter for summer use. With the new storage arrangement and provisionf or submerging the fuel it will be possible to accumulate enough screenings during the winter to run the plant in the summer. In this connection it should be noted that the steam generating station of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company operates in parallel with two nearby water-power stations which can carry a considerable part of the load during the summer".
