This is a difficult post, because I am ignorant on the topic. Sometimes for me, I need visuals, but even in this instance I am at a loss. There are some railroad people that subscribe, so may be they will come forward with information on the comment section.

The topic at hand, specifically the NCO railroad were highline gravity unloaders. I understand the concept, but the mechanics involved I am clueless. For instance what was the motor power to position these cars? Tom Armstrong noted there was one uploader at Madeline, two at Wendel, we have photographic evidence of one at Amedee.
