Wanted to chime in here. In the mid 1960's before an underground river broke into the salt mine at Winnfield Louisiana and flooded the mine all salt from the mine was loaded into box cars. The salt was sent up to the top on conveyers. Once it reached the top it was growned up and then bagged and pallatized. Once on pallets it was loaded into boxcars with a fork lift.The day crew idd the drilling and the night crew did the bagging and loading. Water broke in on the night watch and no one was hurt. I know this because my Father in Law at the time was in charge of the night crew.[:)][:)] <br /> <br />Hope this helps!
