Want to add a woodchip unloader to my Celotex plant in Sunbury on my Buffalo line. Will be using the Walthers end door cars in this service. The real plant used wood chip trucks inbound I want to use rail. Looking for the car lift type not the rotary type. Only need what is above ground . Anyone know of any pictures on line my attempts so far only show the truck type dumps not the woodchip car variety . ---- Ken

Figures 5 and 8 - and figure 5 notes that the same end dump is used by trucks and rail cars.
 
Here is a video:
 
The company that makes them has an online brochure (it has more photos):

You might check the railroads like TO&E of the Patriot Rail company group serving the wood products companies.
Saw them running back in the 1990's in the Southeastern Oklahoma area of Idabel, OK.
Good luck,

There is one at the paper mill at Empire Ave and Argonne Rd in Spokane. You can see on Google Maps it is used for trucks and rail cars.

How about potatoes? Not a rail car, but.

35K pounds picked up in Colorado, delivered to the Lays plant in Ohio. Boy, got many different bags of fresh chips - those were so much better than store bought!

kjd: Case you didn't know, actually there could be two loaders.

Truck only bottom left coming out of the building at an angle. Other *looks* to be a unloader with a spur and roadway connections below the two tanks and above the trees on the bottom right. Not quite sure how that one works, need to get back there for a 'tour'....
