Double barrel rotary car dumper

Wow! I had no idea they turned over train cars to dump! I learned something today! It’s amazing the engineering and strength of these machines that man has created! Thanks for sharing! I absolutely love trains!

I remember going with my dad to Roberts Bank as a kid and watching the trains while he did his photography. That was where I got my first "train ride" with a CP crew as they marshalled their DP to the headend. Now I'm an engineer for CN out of Edmonton. Good stuff!

Yup, 286,000 lbs gone. Pretty amazing.

Thanks for the video Bruce! I just worked my first coal loading train on the luscar spur outside of edson alberta last weekend and it was headed to Roberts bank. Its great to see what happens at the other end!
