Coal Tipple 1

Coal Tipple 1

Upgraded with industry-interactivity.
This center dump 6 bin coal tipple is based on the Colorado Coal & Iron Companys coke facility tipple at Cardiff, Colorado
and was done from photos taken around 1907. Coal was loaded into the original from 40,000 and 50,000 lb capacity drop
bottom gons then dumped into small mule pulled or man pushed 10-1/2 inch gauge ore trams underneath. This track will
change to whatever is attached to it but it might not be high enough for powered equipment other then 18 inch gauge if
there is any (2 foot gauge equipemnt is probably too big). The unload a car trigger on top is above the third bin section
from the trestle end. The load a car trigger underneath is in the center of the last bin section. Even though the trigger
radii are smaller then normal the car on top may re-load if it stops too close to the bottom trigger. I suspect this is a
function of the trigger radius associated with the car. Use this with my coke oven sections to make a coke oven complex
or separately for your own idea.
