NorthFork operations

I've been re reading the branch line book on NorthFork branch and I have some operational questions. 
From what yard were the mine shifters home based?  I'm mostly interested in operations during the teens and 20s. 
Also, prior to the loaders becoming cleaning plants (in other words when they were wooden tipples) was the majority of the product coke?  Was it shipped in boxcars or hoppers?

Thanks in advance.
