Chester is one of the EGT elevators that feeds grain to their export elevator in Longview, WA. When I checked out their export terminal with satellite images, it appears that they use long inclined conveyors instead of legs to handle the grain. It can unload 120,000 bushels of grain per hour. It had its grand opening in 2012. |
When one of the first grain trains arrived in 2011, the train and the EGT facility was vandalized by about 500 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union because EGT planned to hire workers from a different union. [
reuters] The "wildcat action" appears to have paid off because ILWU workers handled the first ship arrival on Feb 7, 2012. [

This is a screenshot from that last video because you notice that they have lifted an excavator to the top of the headhouse because it is moving. The video stop before that chunk falls.

I noticed a conveyor from the old elevator to a long building. I wonder how they are going to load that building when the old elevator is gone.
