Giant conveyor moves mountain to build mighty dam
A 10,030,000 ton rock hill is transported by the world’s longest conveyor belt from Redding to the Shasta dam site. The system operates nonstop at 6.25 miles per hour, feeding crushers and mixers to produce cement blocks for a 1944 dam. The project, costing about 200 million dollars, will flood 37 miles of rail, create a 500 foot lake view, and save taxpayers up to 1.3 million dollars.
