The unloading process commences when cars are spotted on tracks leading to a terminal's trackshed. Cars waiting [to be unloaded] are collectively called a railway shunt. Each carload in a shunt is identified in two ways: first, a shipper's tag is located on the car's routing board which identifies the shipper, point of origin, kind of grain and any other pertinent information; second, a punch card, which contains information obtained from weighbills at an advanced relay point, is attached to the car by the railway. 1, record 1, English, - railway%20shunt

Le processus de déchargement commence au moment où les wagons sont placés sur les embranchements conduisant au hangar ferroviaire du silo. L'ensemble des wagons en attente de déchargement à un silo est appelé une rampe de triage. Chaque wagon de la rame est doublement identifié : d’abord par une étiquette d’expédition posée sur le tableau d’acheminement et indiquant l'expéditeur, le point d’origine, la classe et le grade du grain et toute information pertinente; deuxièmement, par une carte perforée attachée au wagon par la compagnie de chemin de fer et contenant les informations des feuilles de pesage recueillies à un poste de relais avancé. 2, record 1, French, - rampe%20de%20triage
