Rich,
They are on the empty line waiting their turn for the tipple.
Hint, Hint....Hopefully Mifflin Junction will be open soon.
Before I forget, I uploaded the repaints a moments ago.

HI Hawk,
Here is the Montour #10 Tipple at Library, PA.

The Hint, Hint, Glenn was referring to is the Montour ROW has not yet reached West Mifflin and the Interchange yard with the Union Railroad :D

Hawk,
The Montour interchanged with the Union Railroad in West Mifflin Pa (Mifflin Junction) on trackage rights with the P&WV/N&W. Every week or so the B&LE sent hoppers to the Montour VIA Union Railroad for loads of MET coal out of Montour 10.
The picture of the B&LE hopper is at a siding named Jewel close by where I lived.

Glenn
!!*ok*!!
