People from MichLUG can attest to that before, and my (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

More ore dock thoughts. If this goes forward, we will need a lot of essentially identical small ore jennies (slang for what the small hoppers are called). Although the prototype hoppers are 4 axle, they are very short and a 2 axle design may be the (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) I can see two, although I would argue it will be plenty dominant with just 1. But 4 tracks is way too many. The throat will take up too much space. Remember, selective compression...
