The unloading process commences when cars are spotted on tracks leading to a terminal's trackshed. ... The car is spotted over the unload position in the trackshed by a winch (cable carhaul), or by a shunt engine. It is then unloaded. The grain flows into the unloading pit where it remains until communication is received from the scale floor to indicate that the appropriate garner is empty. Communication between trackshed and scale floor can be carried out in a number of ways including a simple voice tube, telephone system or signal light system. Remote control systems are also used. 1, record 1, English, - terminal%27s%20trackshed

Le processus de déchargement commence au moment où les wagons sont placés sur les embranchements conduisant au hangar ferroviaire du silo. [...] Chaque wagon est placé en position de déchargement dans le hangar ferroviaire à l'aide d’un treuil(câble de halage de wagons) ou par une locomotive de manœuvre. Le déchargement s’effectue ensuite. Le grain déversé dans la fosse y reste jusqu'à ce que le préposé à la bascule signale que la trémie de réception appropriée est libre. Les communications s’effectuent par tube acoustique, par téléphone ou par signaux lumineux. On utilise également des systèmes de télécommande. 1, record 1, French, - hangar%20ferroviaire%20du%20silo

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 11, English, - railway%20shunt

Before loading, the doorways are covered to the height the grain will be loaded by applying a cardboard or wooden lining (called a grain door) across the door opening and inside the permanent car door. The cardboard or wooden liners are supplied at loading stations by the railways and are applied by elevator company personnel. This procedure is known as coopering. 1, record 13, English, - coopering

The balloon annex usually has a capacity of about 680 tonnes. Built beside the elevator, it is usually 8.2 metres wide, 18.3 metres long, 6.1 metres high and has one partition in the middle which creates two large bins. It is filled by lifting grain within the elevator itself from the pit to the distributor spout and then directing the grain through an added spout to the annex. A 23 centimetre auger, located beneath the floor, is used to empty the annex. The elevator engine is used for power. Grain is brought from the annex into the elevator's back hopper and elevated to one of the elevator's storage bins or into a rail car. 1, record 14, English, - balloon%20annex

Une annexe temporaire a habituellement une capacité d’environ 680 tonnes. Attenante au silo, elle a normalement 8, 2 mètres de largeur, 18, 3 mètres de longueur et 6, 1 de hauteur et une cloison verticale placée en son milieu la divise en deux grandes cellules. Pour les remplir, on élève le grain au sommet du silo proprement dit, puis on le laisse s’écouler par l'une des goulottes dans l'annexe. Une vis transporteuse de 23 centimètres placée sous le plancher et entraînée par le moteur de l'élévateur amène le grain de l'annexe à la fosse arrière de l'élévateur à godets et, de là, l'élève pour le mettre dans une cellule du silo ou le charger dans un wagon de chemin de fer. 1, record 14, French, - annexe%20temporaire

Binning grain by grade requires special skills. The elevator must ensure that small lots, which are purchased over a period of time and placed in a bin to accumulate until carlot quantities have been obtained, receive the same grade and dockage when unloaded at the terminal as was given to producers when the grain was originally purchased. Any difference between the grade given by the elevator manager to a producer and the grade given by the Commission is absorbed by the elevator company. 1, record 15, English, - binning%20grain

Le remplissage du silo demande une certaine compétence. L'agent doit s’assurer que les petites quantités qu'il achète jusqu'à ce qu'une cellule contienne suffisamment de grain pour remplir un wagon, se verront attribuer, lors du déchargement à un silo terminus, le même grade et le même pourcentage d’impuretés que ce qu'il a déclaré aux producteurs au moment de l'achat.

Cash contracts for grain vary. Grain may be traded "on track"; this means it is already loaded in a railway car with freight paid to a terminal. It may be traded "instore"; this means it is in a terminal elevator. It may be a "spot" trade which means delivery on the same day or a "deferred" trade which means delivery at some future date to which the two parties to the transaction have agreed. 1, record 17, English, - spot%20trade

When a carload of grain is to be shipped, the batching mechanism on the office control panel is set at the number of hoppers needed to load the car. The system is then set to cycle. First, the butterfly in the annex bin opens and grain is conveyed by the intermediate conveyor to the garner. Grain from the garner flows into the hopper scale filling it to its initial setting; then the garner gate closes. At the same time, the gate of the hopper scale opens, releasing the weighed grain on to the conveyor; this conveyor takes the grain to the shipping leg where it is elevated and loaded into the car.
