1 RAIL TRANSPORT DUMP LOOP SYSTEM FOR CONVEYING BULK MATERIALS US15399578 2017-01-05 US20180127003A1 2018-05-10 JAMES EVERRETT FISK; PATRICK WALTER JOSEPH FANTIN; WILLIAM JOHN MCCALL; DAVID WILHELM NIEMEYER; CURTIS RON REAY; ERIC BENJAMIN ALEXANDER ZANETTI; ESKO JOHANNES HELLBERG
The present invention generally relates to a rail transport system having no internal drive, and in particular to an improved rail transport system for conveying bulk materials. The rail transport system includes improvements in functionality, manufacturability and/or modularity and, therefore, can result in a reduction in system component costs, manpower and/or implementation. The rail transport system includes a dump loop and components thereof for enabling unloading of the rail cars in a predetermined location. The components thereof may be designed to be modular to allow for ease of manufacture and installation of the dump loop. The components may be prefabricated for later use on site.

Systems and methods for sensing a train position of a train with no internal drive operating in an automated train system are provided. According to one embodiment, a train system comprises a track extending in a travel direction, a plurality of cars riding on the track and connected to form a train, a position sensing unit, and a programmable logic controller (PLC) in signal communication with the position sensing unit and configured to determine a train position based on inputs therefrom.

6 DRIVE STATION ARRANGEMENTS US15399567 2017-01-05 US20180186385A1 2018-07-05 JAMES EVERRETT FISK; PATRICK WALTER JOSEPH FANTIN; WILLIAM JOHN MCCALL; DAVID WILHELM NIEMEYER; CURTIS RON REAY; ERIC BENJAMIN ALEXANDER ZANETTI; ESKO JOHANNES HELLBERG
The present invention generally relates to a rail transport system having no internal drive, and in particular to an improved rail transport system for conveying bulk materials. The rail transport system includes horizontal and vertical drive stations that include a drive tire that rotates on a plane parallel to the track. In this arrangement, force is applied on a different plane than earlier systems, and the reaction force is separated out of the tensioning device. The improvements of the drive stations provide for a reduction of steel used in the system, improved manufacturability and, therefore, reduction in system component costs as compared to previous drive stations. Moreover, the drive stations allow for improved maintainability and access to the drive tires.
7 SUPPORT FRAMES AND RAIL CARS FOR CONVEYING BULK MATERIALS ON A RAIL TRANSPORT SYSTEM US15399589 2017-01-05 US20170320505A1 2017-11-09 JAMES EVERRETT FISK; PATRICK WALTER JOSEPH FANTIN; WILLIAM JOHN MCCALL; DAVID WILHELM NIEMEYER; CURTIS RON REAY; ERIC BENJAMIN ALEXANDER ZANETTI; ESKO JOHANNES HELLBERG
The present invention generally relates to support frames and rail cars comprising first and second side drive plates, first and second cross members connecting the respective ends of the side drive plates, third and fourth cross members connecting the side drive plates at a select distance from the first and second cross members, a coupling assembly situated at the first cross member and adapted to connect another rail car thereto, and first and second diagonal support members connected to the first cross member at an angle sufficient to substantially direct forces from the coupling assembly to the third cross member and side drive plates. The support frames and rail cars may be used for conveying bulk materials on a rail transport system.
8 Automatic coupling for model rail vehicles US696419 1985-01-30 US4700855A 1987-10-20 Hanspeter Boeniger
A coupler for rail vehicles of a model railway is attached to the end of a vehicle along substantially the longitudinal central axis of the vehicle. The coupler is provided with a coupling carrier which has at its free end a coupling plate acting as a buffer. In the coupled condition of railway vehicles, these coupling plates abut against each other and coupling hooks are positioned behind the coupling plates to retain the vehicles in coupled relationship.
9 Car coupler with enlarged gathering zone US620486 1984-06-14 US4627545A 1986-12-09 Donald L. Herbert; Lynn A. Schneider; Zoltan Kovacs
A hook-type railroad car coupling includes a hook vertically centered and laterally offset in a pocket opening in the front face and a guide pin and hole at opposite top corners. At one side of the bottom a guide horn extends beyond the hook, the front plate having an opening beside the horn and below the hook. A guide wedge is inside the opening to contact the horn of the mating head and improve the parallelism of the front faces of the heads as they come together.
10 Protective device for car coupler US28692 1979-04-18 US4240559A 1980-12-23 Harry W. Nicholson
A protective device is provided for a coupler of the type such as used on railroad cars, the coupler having two members the ends of which have a generally C-shaped configuration and which engage each other for purposes of hitching or towing cars, the protective device comprising a cover member designed to be placed over the coupler and adapted to prevent foreign materials from engaging the members of the coupler and impeding operation thereof, and a clamping device attached to the cover, the clamping device designed to fixedly engage at least one of the members of the coupler for purposes of maintaining the cover member on the coupler.
