toslow Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) when i first came to ontario from nova scotia, i was a welder by trade. started working on a couple big lakers for lake ontario cement, then they sold out to esroc cement from montreal. one of the jobs we done was to dismantle the ship and make them into floating barges cause they didn't want to man them, the plain was to push them around with tugs; Edited November 11, 2016 by toslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Quoted an upgrade to the ship loading system at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe in Delouth over 10 years ago. Existing system did not have a very accurate belt metering system. Have no idea what they are doing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
