Robert Ortner, developer of the rapid-discharge door system, targeted unloading a train of rapid discharge cars in 30 minutes to an hour. Previously this same task would take four hours or longer. Unit trains shuttle back and forth between mines and power plants eliminating dwell time in yards. The concept has become ubiquitous to the modern railroading scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-content\"\u003e\u003ca id=\"specs\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cheader\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"top-link\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fastserve.horizonhobby.com\/ProductCatalog\/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdNumber=ATH98646#top\"\u003eBack to Top ^\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCoupler Style\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMcHenry Scale Knuckle\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEra\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1971-1990, 1991-2009, 2010-Present Day\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eReporting Mark\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eELFX\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eScale\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHO\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50544433004830,"sku":"ATH98646","price":165.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/6789\/3534\/files\/ATH98646_A0_98R1M1HP.jpg?v=1769202955","url":"https:\/\/trainsupply.com\/products\/ath98646","provider":"Train Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
