This is how a loaded BOXN wagon is emptied of coal in express mode ;-). The wagon is shunted onto the tilting platform, uncoupled, locked in place and tipped over. Some liquid - probably water -is sprayed when the wagon starts to empty, presumably to prevent coal dust from billowing up in the air. Koradi Thermal Power Station.

This is simple wagon trippler which is rotated to about 150-170 degrees.
