Digging Coal

Some more random video clips from Westshore Terminals At the Port Of Vancouver

The machines look like newer bigger versions of the Strachan & Henshaw designed ones I worked in the dim and distant past. The bulk handling division of Strachan & Henshaw was bought by Svedala who were taken over by Metso Minerals. They used to fit huge nameplates on the booms, although many ports took them off.

This is the most complex process I've ever seen, I feel like an 8 year old that took apart Dad's Bluray player and now has no idea how to make it work again. Fascinating video, many thanks for your effort!

Truly breath taking machines there Bruce that new reclamer looks a beasty nice getting up there while she was dumping and the crouily tug at end was minted thanks very much sir

[@kendallwilliamson8193]

That was nice to see. They should vibrate the coal cars when upside down to dump all the coal out. I haul coal at a mine that ships here. I see railcars come back with some coal still in them. Good video. Thanks for posting.

Do you dig coal? It's alright, yeah. But seriously thank you for taking the time to put this together, never mind all the stairs and whatnot.

SR46 ......... "stacking its first train". How was the train unloaded ? Edit - I spoke too soon. I see how at 20.10.

How do they avoid contamination between the coal from different mines?

[@bruiseyis]

Mark Rose Each stockpile in the yard is coal from different mines.

[@stnicholas54]

That's a giant coal spider. Indigenous to this area of Vancouver. :-)

Morning Bruce/

[@Drmcunningham]

Some commentary ro explain what I was seeing would be nice

[@kevinJmadsen]

260 years to get here burning coal this fast. Every ton of coal burned puts 3 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. How long to figure out how to extract it and put it back in the ground fast enough to save ourselves? We're so f'ed.

Are you team Pfizer triple vaxx #LivingMyBestLife

[@StevenMaines-fs3qc]

Most of those piles are for carbon additive in steal refinement. The stuff that burns usually goes straight from train to ship
