  4. BOXN_emptying_KTPS

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.
