Concrete foundations are still in place. <br />8, Coal Storage Silos (3) <br />Three concrete cylindrical silos were used to store up <br />to 21,000 tons of coal as a reserve live storage facility <br />for the loading of 115 car unit trains. These coal silos <br />were fitted with individual bag house dust collection <br />systems. The silos were filled with coal hauled to the <br />truck dump, which in turn was delivered to the top of <br />the silo via the silo elevating conveyor. Two short <br />conveyors (R-2, R-3) which ran across the top of the <br />silos could selectively fill each silo. Vibratory feeders <br />fitted under the base of each silo delivered gravity fed <br />coal onto the train loadout elevating conveyor. These <br />coal silos operated under the limitations of the <br />Colorado Department of Health and Environment <br />Construction Permit 11 DL252-7. <br />Reclamation Status: The three silos have been <br />removed from site. Reclamation activities occurred in <br />2007. Concrete foundations are still in place. <br />Train Loadout elevating conveyor (R-4) <br />The 1,300 foot 72 inch loadout elevating conveyor <br />carried gravity fed coal from the coal silos to a hopper <br />located in the train loadout for immediate loading into <br />rail cars. The gravity fed coal was fed to this belt using <br />vibratory feeders located under the coal silos. The <br />electrically driven belt was powered at the ground level <br />with a gravity tensioning system located at ground level <br />near the drive system. This train loadout elevating <br />conveyor operated under the limitations of the <br />Colorado Department of Health and Environment <br />Construction Permit 11 DL252-10.
