Coal Car Topping System

Meet The BNSF and Regulatory Requirements for Coal Car Dust Control

Where there is coal, there is coal dust, one of the biggest nuisances with which mines, railroads and utilities must cope – more so as changing environmental and railroad regulations mandate effective coal car topping. Coal dust is a health hazard; it damages equipment; and it creates an environmental hazard for which railroad, utility and mine management will be held responsible.
