Rio Tinto Alcan Bauxite and Alumina. A rather bizarre unit that has escaped everyone as it is hidden deep within Arvida.
It was acquired from Germany in 1982 or 1983 when the new calcining furnace for alumina was built using German technology. It came with the technology package. It apparently is a B-B arrangement with a diesel mechanical or hydraulic drive. The unit is remote controlled and has a coupler only at the rear end. It is used for moving cuts of empty
covered hoppers from the R & S yard tracks into the car loader and then moving the loaded cars of alumina to the
adjacent yard tracks for the R & S to lift. With a coupler at only one end it is always operating at the same end of the yard. Roberval & Saugenay does the maintenance. Arvida, QC May 12, 2010 Ian Stronach

Rio Tinto Alcan Bauxite and Alumina. A rather bizarre unit that has escaped everyone as it is hidden deep within Arvida.
It was acquired from Germany in 1982 or 1983 when the new calcining furnace for alumina was built using German technology. It came with the technology package. It apparently is a B-B arrangement with a diesel mechanical or hydraulic drive. The unit is remote controlled and has a coupler only at the rear end. It is used for moving cuts of empty
covered hoppers from the R & S yard tracks into the car loader and then moving the loaded cars of alumina to the
adjacent yard tracks for the R & S to lift. With a coupler at only one end it is always operating at the same end of the yard. Roberval & Saugenay does the maintenance. Arvida, QC May 12, 2010 Ian Stronach
