loop haulage
A system used when a continuous supply of cars must be supplied to a loading station. In this system, the empty cars are simply coupled to one end of the standing cars, which are pulled forward by a hoist with the rope attached to a clip fixed to the side of the cars. The rope is pulled back by hand for a distance of three or four car-lengths, and the process is repeated frequently as the end of the rope approaches the hoist.
