Steep grade |
| Description: |
One of the first things you notice about the facility is the steep grade that falls off either direction from the loading shed. This makes train handelign while loading a challenge. |

Loader close up |
| Description: |
The trains are loaded in the middle. On the right is the truck unloading bay. The grain storage silos are on the left. The large rectangular bin on top of the train loading bay is a hopper that holds as much grain as a rail car, this allows a rail car to be loaded in a few seconds. |
