The conveyor belt is not a part of the train and stays there all the time. I am out there quite often watching trains so would not be a problem to get more pictures of it. Will be out of town this weekend but will try to get more pictures for you next week. If the train is still there tomorrow after I get off of work, I will try to take more pictures of it and will get some of the conveyor belt as well.
Talk to you soon.

David that is great!
I like how it is independently owned but painted in Uncle Pete colors.
The best part for me is the conveyor belt. I am going to try and scratch build one so if you got more pictures of that I would appreciate it.

David,
I think that is what all the new ties were delivered on. That Komatsu back hoe looking thing can ride on those cars and pick up ties and drop them off. They may use it again to load up all the old ties as well.

See attached pictures of a work train parked in Buda. Any ideas on it's purpose?
