[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4195492, member: 5412"] Saw them dumped for 16 years working at OG&E Sooner Power plant. When they roll into the dumper, each car is held to the tracks with gigantic Hydraulic cylinders on 4 corners, then the entire train car is turned upside down to dump the coal while a water spray is used to knock down the dust. Coal trains have special connections between the cars that allow them to rotate. Then a series of conveyor belts run the coal to grinders that reduce it to about pecan size, when more conveyors move it into the pulverizers. Giant grinders that grind it into particles smaller than talcum powder. Once it reaches the correct size/weight, a draft of air moves it into the boiler to generate the steam to run the turbines. 2500psi at 1005 degree steam. [/QUOTE]
