Seen this neat piece of equipment in Green Bay WI. Couldn't get closer to it for better pictures.
Dell Cobb Kershaw yard cleaner. Has a broom under it like a ballast regulator, but it sweeps everything onto a bucket chain that dumps onto a conveyor belt. You normally hook onto a gondola or hopper car and load the railcar, but you can also slew the conveyor to one side and either load dump trucks or just leave it in a windrow to be picked up by a loader. We have one that's a bit older than the one in the picture. Works great for cleaning the tracks at mines, quarries, and power plants. |
