Functional and good looking way to transport coal

[Cal99]

So getting coal from the gantry into a transport vehicle is easy enough. Put some hoppers on your vehicle, pull up to the gantry and away you go. Now how do i get the coal out of the transport vehicle and into a train or boat with out building some sort of ugly fixed position gantry thing on the transport vehicle.

I was trying to think of a way to build a conveyor belt or something similar but I can't figure it out

you may use additional hopper/gantry reloading points at junctions. It will allow to make some rotating ugly things

I've still got the issue of having to extend the funnel out over the top of the receiving vehicles hopper which i can't do because there no way to connect a funnel on an extendable arm to the main coal storage. So the only other way is to have a permanently fixed funnel that is long enough to go where i want it. Then try not to hit stuff with it as i'm driving around.

It seams like the devs completely overlooked this problem

they didn't overlook. They know exactly what is missing and are being lazy.
