Dump Train
 
 

The Dump Train is a high--production aggregate delivery system based on simple and efficient technology. Permanently coupled with a slackless drawbar system, it is a series of specially designed hopper cars with a single belt conveyor running underneath the entire length of the train. The material is discharged at the rear of the train by a transfer conveyor car. A unique vehicle that will attract attention to your railroad, the Dump Train operates as a unit-train-consist and is designed to unload material up to 4 inches in diameter completely at 1000 tons per hour. The whole system may be operated by a single man. The Dump Train is the most efficient high-speed aggregate delivery system available.
