What is a tipple cone?

We’d play king of the hill on the tipple cones and come home with white eyelids in coal-black faces like old miners we’d seen in photo albums. Are these small piles of coal residue left from where it was loaded or tipped into a train car?

A tipple cone is a storage unit used to temporarily store coal until it could be dumped into transport vehicles.
