Moving Coal from Train to River Barge

Video Description

See the coal being dumped from train cars, then follow how the coal gets to the barge loader and see some river tug boats moving loaded coal barges. Then we will take a tour via Google Earth of our river coal loading facility and our La Belle trans loading facility where they load CSX and NS trains. Our train has 38 cars in it. Each car holds 115 tons. We load 3 different size barges here. Standards hold 800 to 900 tons. Stumbos hold 1100 to 1200 tons. Jumbos hold 1400 to 1500 tons. So you can now figure out how many train cars it would take to fill each different size barge.
