    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.

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

    Poor layout.
