ABSTRACT:
A system is described for loading grain from an elevator into the multiple compartments of a railway grain tank car. It includes a substantially horizontally extending cylindrical auger tube with power driven auger positioned above the compartments of the car. The tube has a grain receiving opening at one end and grain discharge openings in a lower side above each compartment. A down spout extends downwardly from each discharge opening with the lower end of each spout extending a short distance into the associated compartment. With this arrangement, when the level of the grain in each compartment reaches the lower end of the spout, the spout is left in position so that it fills with grain up to the auger tube thereby automatically stopping any further flow of grain down the spout.
