What if it Snows?

Kinda reminds me of one of our facilities. The tank farm is about 250 to 300 yards from the rail spur... Up hill!!! They coyldnt figure out why it took 4 hour to pump 1 rail car off, when other facilites could do it in an hour.

Finally someone with more than air between thier ears was able to explain the concept of gravity and fluid dynamics... Now they have 2 pumps, one pushing at the rail spur and the second pulling at the tank farm... Still takes over 2 hours.

Dont know why they put the #### thing so far away... There was plenty if room to put it right next to the rails.

 

Out driver side window, at least they put it near the tracks...

 

OK, I'll bite. Back in?
I have that feeling I'm going to learn a thing or two about grain hoppers.

 

scale is behind me, You gotta me pull on property and make a u to cross the city street to get onto their scale,
Then back off the scale across the street..


Behind is scale, this guy was trying to open door on high range and couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t budge it.

Poor layout.

 

It could be worse.

 

On the high desert

Meanwhile on the mountain

 

We empty, 1 hour 45 minutes actual unload time, 30 minutes waiting.
Not to bad..

 

Currently pumping off my 3rd load of the day... Just got the lead for this load... Have to do 90 degree back to get turned around in here.

Sitting in the shade trying to not melt... Its not working so well.
