Bridge Cranes, how do they work?
#1
I have a Question about the Walthers Bridge crane: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-2906

How do they work? Does the coal barge come in the middle of the bridge crane or park on the side of the bridge crane? In the pic on there website, it looks like the barge parks in between the bridge crane? Are train cars loaded up with the bridge crane or does the bridge crane just take the material out of the barge and put it in stockpiles where loaders load up coal cars?

What about the Hulett Ore Unloader? I was going to do 2 bridge Cranes and 2 Hulett Unloaders working side-by side unlaoding barges at the harbor up the line from the steel mill. Do Hulett Unloaders load directly into train cars or into stock piles?
