I went to "Historic Aerials" and found this picture of the coal pocket.
It's the long building next to the tracks at the bottom of the picture. It
was off Marshall Street. After DL&W was forced out of the coal selling
business I think the name was changed to "Blue Coal" which was selling coal
at least into the 60s.
