A Georgetown Rail Equipment (GREX) unit dump train passing Union Station in Little Rock, Arkansas on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 shortly after noon. According to GREX's website (http://www.georgetownrail.com), these unit dump trains have a capacity of 1,500 nt, one 50-foot boom, 2,000 cubic ft capacity, weighs 63,000 pounds and is 1,000 feet long. It can be operated by one individual. This is classified MOW equipment, but is the term 'dump train' the correct name for it? I've also heard it could be called a 'slag' train or 'conveyor' train.
