Bottom Discharge Hopper Cars Dumping Coal

Each 5 bay hopper cars have about 115 tons in them, clean coal silo coal goes
into holds 7200 tons. There are 38 cars typically in our train. When everything
is going well, it takes about 50 minutes to unload an entire train. These
are all aluminum cars, loaded limit on them is 286,000 pounds (that
is light car weight along with the amount of coal in them). We have some
cars built by Freight Car America but the majority of them were
built by Trinity.
