Side dump cars, such as the Granby, are dumped by running the car alongside a dump block. A roller raises and pivots the body while the movable side remains vertical. A hold-down prevents the car from leaving the track. Cars can be dumped without uncoupling. Various other dumps, such as the cradle or kickback and crossover dumps, are used in some operations.
