Eldorado Chemical: Conveyor Plans — Note that the plant backs up to the railroad. The unloader will unload both the rail cars, and trucks. It is then raised by a vertical leg. It is then conveyed to the center of the larger dome where it is dropped into the rotating screw conveyor for distribution to the individual bins.
