Hey guys after work yesterday I had some time to go take some pictures of Inland's CN pit just outside of Winnipeg. From what I understand its currently being dismantled albeit very very slowly as is they're way. lol After the pit had been mined by conventional method using loaders and probably mobile crushing, screening, and washing equipment, they built an interesting dredge machine that I think is electrically driven and uses two clamshell buckets that dig down to something like eighty feet deep, the sand and gravel is then dumped into hoppers and conveyed to a stationary crushing, screening, and washing plant. From what I understand this pit and all it's equipment is either being moved to they're new dredging operation at the Pine Ridge pit or probably going up for sale or being scrapped. If anybody is more familiar with this operation feel free to weigh in. Most of my info is from stories and rumours. lol
