Rail transport dump loop system for conveying bulk materials
Disclosed is a rail system comprising an underground dump loop for unloading cars of a train traveling on the rail system, wherein the rail system comprises: a set of incoming parallel rails for guiding a train in an upright position; a set of outgoing parallel rails for guiding a train in an inverted position; a modular underground dump loop section for inverting the cars of the train to thereby unload contents of the cars, the modular underground dump loop section comprising: a set of parallel inner rails having an annular curve to form a loop, the set of parallel inner rails in communication with the set of incoming rails for allowing entrance of the train into the dump loop section at one end of the loop and in communication with the set of outgoing parallel rails at the other end of the loop, and a set of parallel outer rails having a corresponding annular curve to form a loop, the set of parallel outer rails spaced from the parallel inner rails to accommodate the wheel of the cars of the train therebetween and guiding the wheels of the train when in an inverted or substantially inverted orientation, and an underground collection shoot positioned below the dump loop section for collecting unloaded contents from the cars of the train wherein the pair of inner rails comprise a flange on their respective finishing ends for connection to a support frame.
