This is how I spent my Saturday today, only I was in a truck. We unloaded 100 cars in Avard Oklahoma started at 6 am, they turned me loose at 330pm. I was lucky though, I was the only bobtail ant the front excavator was done 5 cars faster.

Back in the day before we worried about time clock's and log books and on board recorders. We would haul asphalt all night Start at 6pm work till 6am. Then go work in the stone yard from 6-11am. Then another guy would finish out till 5pm, Refuel the truck and meet you and the asphalt plant and start the process all over again. 5 and often 6 days a week. Then the concern about hours of service started. So you would do your 12 hrs on asphalt and then had another guy come in and he would unload rail cars for 12 hrs. Either way, those trucks where working 24 hours a day a minimum of 6 days a week. It didn't matter if you got rained out, They'd just put 2 more excavators to work in the rail yard, Go get in line. There was times we'd get behind and they'd offer Sunday work. Half a day, Started at 12:30- 5:00 so you could go to church.

I think I'd be bored to death either operating or driving that endless loop, though. lol Thanks for sharing this.
@robbieboyd5869 Жыл бұрын
I do agree with you on the efficient part of it but either using a tipper with a conveyor or dump under the trains into a hopper would be way cheaper. They must not have a big area to work with so that's why this operation is set up like it is. Be different if those trucks getting loaded were taking all that rock to customers but their not and it's just getting stockpiled. Those trucks, depending on location, will fetch up to $150 an hour and at the end of the day that's alot of money for such a short haul. Plus it's not possible to get all the rock out unless you have a guy inside with a shovel trying to get it all out. True story

Unloading this way may seem inneficient but if they had this many hopper cars with doors on the bottom to unload product, I guarantee they would run into alot of door problems and malfunctioning which would force them to have service crews working to get the doors open and fixed at which time the unloading process would be slowed down. Bottom dump railcar doors also leak small particle product out of the doors when they get a little abused and small gaps are created around the door seals. It's possible for alot of product to leak out going down the rails with all the vibration that occurs in a train so companies have their reasons for why they do things a certain way.

And it won't matter to me when one of those excavators tips over onto one of those dump trucks, or gets hung up moving from one hopper car to another. If it's ok with your insurance company, it's ok with me. I've seen mobile rock crushing set-ups with any number of configurable gravel transport schemes, They move in, set up, operate for a few weeks or months, break down, and move on to another location. They could adapt to your operation and move with you. But it's your operation, do what you want.

Gondolas are not efficient for aggregates as are hoppers.This method of transferring gravel from railcar to truck looks so 4th-world-ish. Hoppers with bottom hatches were invented for a reason: efficiency and speed.
@jasonfleming42385 жыл бұрын
These cars don’t dump out the bottom. Not every facility that receives these cars are set up to unload hoppers. They have no pit or conveyor systems. How else would you recommend that we unload these gondolas? Looks pretty efficient to me.

Rip rap in a hopper car?? Even base or sb-2 gets clogged in the pit. Most customers that utilize this service don't want to spend the bucks on the setup you speak of. Especially on temporary plants made just for one highway construction or major repave. It is a bit primitive but with 2 mid size excavators, 2 men, we put 12,000 tons in the pile in less than one 12 hour shift.

Samuel McCloud did you ever think that not every town or siding deserves the cost of constructing bottom dump conveyor systems? Maybe this was a one-time job that made sense to take one or two days to unload thousands and thousands of tons of rock one time and be done. Maybe a single view of this on KZbin isn’t all it takes for you to make a definitive decision on how they are doing it wrong. Maybe, the ones paying for it have actually researched it and decided on the best and least expensive method.
