Toprus’ KWK Wieczorek Unloading Bridge
Hi guys!
This building is something very unusual. The aggregate unloading bridge from KWK Wieczorek. It was part of the Polish sand railways until recently, when it stopped operation. The last train on the sand railways ran at the end of 2020.
These unloading bridges are very common here. The construction and mechanics behind it are very simple but effective. The bridge has a guiding edge on each side, which makes the body of the wagon go up, releasing the load down, where it can be picked up by a truck or conveyor.
These bridges were used to unload sand, which mines used to cover up old tunnels, to avoid the risk of them falling apart and damaging something.
In the game, it stores and unloads all aggregates (unloading speed is a little bit faster than the vanilla unloading station, but loading on trucks is quite slow).
It has one track connection, one road connection (+2 vehicle stations) and two conveyor output connection. Stores max 1500 tonnes of load.
The construction is something you might need to fiddle around with. To make it work properly, you need to raise the ground EXACTLY to the level, where the concrete base ends. Otherwise, tracks will be bent up/down.
I hope you have fun with this little aggregate unloading bridge and storage. Cheers.
Update: changed the brightness on the concrete and metal
