The gravity fed coal is fed to this belt using <br />vibratory feeders located under the coal silos. The <br />electrically driven belt is 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 operates under the limitations of the <br />Colorado Department of Health and Environment <br />Construction Permit 11 DL252-10. <br />10.

The chute can be raised and lowered to help <br />with dust control. A portion of the coal stream is <br />crushed and bagged for chemical analysis. The <br />construction of the Train Loadout is structural steel <br />members partially sheathed in steel siding with floors <br />made of grate steel and deck plating.
