| Remarks & Notes |
| Coors Brewing Co. SW1000 No. C997 takes three grain hoppers from the East Silos elevator on an interplant trip to the main brewery complex at Golden, Colorado, on November 18, 2005. Coors operates with a fleet of eleven of these captive covered hoppers to move grain products from the East Silo west to the brewery. These hoppers are custom-equipped with pneumatic gates and electrical hookups tied into timers in the brewing process. This enables the cars to release a precise amount of grain directly into seep tanks at the appropriate time in the brewing process—even if no one’s around! |
