You just saw a coal hopper empty in mere seconds. Now your life is complete.
My Dad ran the "shakers & pits" at P&C Docks in Conneaut, OH. He worked his up from there to "Stacker/Reclaim wheel" to Dozers to Ship Loader and on to Hulletts before he retired. There was a "look-out" area where you could park and see the whole operation of the docks. Spent many hours sitting there watching various operation and knowing my Dad was somewhere down there, making the money to support us.
I used to work on the Great Lakes Freighters ,, Conneaut was always one of my favorite towns. Used to be a bar there called the "Middle Earth" ... I lost a LOT of brain cells in that place!
Hey I live in Ashtabula about 10 minutes from conneaut. Know exactly where you’re talking about! Sat on the lookout many times and been in the hullit that is on display there. Small world
I work here, and before you ask: yes, this does fall straight down and get funneled right into Satans @$$... Yes How else do you think we keep the fires going?
the time of the emptying process in totally unimportant -what counts is how long it takes to place the car into the right spot until the next car gets into the right spot
@@lackofsanity9329 In the UK we do the same at power stations, 1/2 mile an hour, the train keeps rolling. This is old footage but 09:00 onwards shows it th-cam.com/video/h3esA-JldCo/w-d-xo.html
Below the car is a shaker. It shakes the coal out of the train car. Below the shaker is a conveyer belt, the belt rolls the coal out into a pile in the yard that is moved by a giant loader. I know this because I had to reline a shaker before. It was a high of 20 that day and a total white out. I had to use a big wheat burner to constantly melt the snow and dry the metal to get my weld to stick. A few hour job took the whole day that day, but I will never forget it.
@@CumminsTurbo4 Indeed, but the guy in the original comment stated otherwise and has worked with a shaker, I have never - therefore my "I could be wrong".
Have you ever seen the Norfolk and Southern coal loading operation in Norfolk. They inverted two 100 ton cars at a time ,then bumped them through automated switches back to the empties yard. One of the colossal loaders would fill the barge I worked on at 3000 tons an hour.
My dad worked at South East Coal processing plant in the 70's. We lived three miles away and I can remember sitting on the back porch and listening to the "shake house" empty out cars.
I always see the loading of coal trains never the unloading part pretty neat to see 4-5 bay cars getting unloaded, I really only ever see is top dumps or rotary cars. That shaker reminds me of the one we use at my job, does the same thing essentially shakes coal out of a hopper but our hopper is stationary and it doesn’t hold 100 tons
Actually, that is what I want so I can put it on my model railroad. Nothing is as real as the real thing. When I was a kid, that request got me some strange looks. It was hard to explain to the adults.
I live in the tri-state area of oh,wv and ky. I've seen a train engine many times transporting 100+ cars of coal filled to the brim like this one. I've seen a couple of dump stations like this one from the road but never up close. Really interesting.
In my case, many years ago, we used bottom dump cars like this and a shaker that pushed up against the side of the car. Worked like a champ when the coal was dry or at least not frozen. The shaker was crazy noisy and was pretty rough on the cars. We had a thaw shed for frozen cars, sometimes taking several hours on nat gas burners to get the car to a point where we could shake it out. Even then, we had large chunks of frozen coal over the hoppers to physically break up. Rotary dumpers are much better, most big plants used them to keep up with the burn rate. Don’t miss my col days one bit.
"cycle time" is critical when planning industrial operations. It's not just the time the coal goes out, but the time it takes to move the car and stage it.
I used to do this very job, drive heavy coal trains with 100 T hoppers, we could empty the whole train of 19 hoppers in around 15-20 mins, filling them again about the same, good days.
What's scary is how far I had to go down before somebody asked about that green thing on top... The average human being has the intellectual curiosity of a piece of livestock.
I take comfort in knowing that I'm not the only person who clicked on a nearly two minute TH-cam video for the sole purpose of watching a 30 second event.
Takes about five minutes to load each car and in some areas, they spray clear latex over the top to keep the coal dust down (I've seen it and times it).
SIDA or they could use the coal for their families and power things and save money for food in a realistic situation, but you only care about an overused joke
Such a simple idea too.... In the UK hoppers used to have 'bash plates' that workers would hit with 9ib hammers to loosen the coal (or iron ore). Hard work!
At one time I was an industrial painter. I had to paint a shaker and paint in a tunnel under the trains where all this shaking was taking place. It was so so loud.

Funny how something that's totally unimportant takes up a significant portion of the total time you speak of and thus is important.
Exactly. There is a process.
