How to load and unload coal


Recommended Posts

Those rotary dumpers are crazy to watch.  They use them at the local power plant which consumes 100 cars worth of coal a day.

 

The cars for rotary dumpers have a special coupling marked by a stripe at one end of the car. (Or so I have been told)  Every now and then I'll see a train where two cars have the striped ends together, adn it makes me wonder what the operators of the dumper do when that happens.
