Sept-Iles Dumping Facility

---

This building is IOCC's ore dumping facility. Dump cradles are used in tandem to unload the train. Loaded cars entering the dumping facility (from the upper right) are secured in the cradles then the entire mechanism, including the track and rail car, is turned upside down. After dumping, the cars are turned right-side up and removed from the dumping facility (lower left) and the next two cars in line are pushed into place. Its dumping capacity is 60 cars per hour.

After the cars are dumped, the ore is transported by a conveyor belt system to the stockpile. The silver piles are iron concentrate and the red-colored mounds are pellets.
