Multiple-batch train loading systems (20) and methods, for example for loading coal (42), which are capable of accommodating railcars (22, 24, 26) of a wide range of capacities and designs. Each railcar (22, 24, 26) is loaded with at least a relatively large initial weighed batch (100) having a weight at least approximately equal to the maximum available capacity of a weigh bin (46), and a relatively small final weighed batch (102). The initial weighed batch (100) and the final weighed batch (102) are both made up with precision. If required, one or more intermediate weighed batches (104) are loaded into the railcar (22, 24, 26). The intermediate batches (104), if required, are made up rapidly, but not necessarily with precision. |
