ABSTRACT:
A training idler assembly for a self-unloading train including a first hopper car, a second hopper car, a connector extending between the first hopper car and the second hopper car, a conveyor having a supply run and a return run underlying the first and second hopper cars, and a conveyor training assembly rotatably mounted to the connector. The connector allows relative angular movement of the first and second hopper cars. The conveyor training assembly supports the conveyor. The conveyor training assembly causes an angular adjustment of the conveyor relative to the angular movement of the first hopper car with respect to the second hopper car. The conveyor training assembly is an idler assembly which is rotatably mounted to the connector between the first and second hopper cars. The idler assembly includes a first training idler assembly which supports the supply run of the conveyor and a second training idler assembly supporting the return run of the conveyor. The first training idler assembly is connected by a first strut to one of the hopper cars. The second training idler assembly is connected by a second strut to another of the hopper cars. The first and second idler assemblies rotate independently of each other.
