This is the entrance to the car dumper for Pier 6 the thawing house is behind us. Each dumper can flip two, one-hundred-ton cars at one time. The loaded cars are shoved up the incline by the "barney" shown pushing against the hopper's coupler. October 1981. (Jim Gillum photo) |

In the left of this photo is the blender for Pier 6 which will mix the coal coming from the two dumpers into a computer controlled mix. Then the coal is moved by conveyor to the actual loader which is mobile, so that the ship does not have to be continually respotted. October 1981. (Jim Gillum photo) |
