You hit the nail on the head, Chris. That was what the 98 car (iirc ) siding at Riverview was for - loading ice. I found that out writing the ice articles. Was going to further that series someday. There was also a dam at Buffalo for the same reason. I don't know where it was located but the lay of the land and other hints suggest it was at or near the horse bridge to the south of town. And it may have been you that suggested the heavy tower structure seen in the photos was an ice house. All sorta makes sense. Ice was very, very big in the Platte Canyon.
