Well, it's basically the same method used for loading tipper lorries. Rapid loading plant costs a lot of money and isn't worth it for the relatively short time this hub will be in operation.
@@frasermitchell9183 I can see that's an issue, but find it odd that there's not a conveyor system that's able to do the work more quickly and easily. It looks like feeding an army with a teaspoon. As you say, it's probably not worth the time and effort to make it more efficient for the duration of the project. Got too used to seeing coal merry-go-round trains loading and unloading without stopping!
Love this. Keep 'em coming xx
Guess I'd have expected a front end loader to be used for this
Lovely quality video!
That seems a very slow and inefficient way to load the train.
