Abstract

Hoppers are used on trains to store sand, the sand being dispensed onto the line if there is too little adhesion between the wheel and the rail. A filling device for a sand hopper includes a mounting means (12) for fixing to a port in the base of the sand hopper. Two ducts (23, 24) extend through the mounting means so as to project into the sand hopper, the ducts having openings (30) within the hopper and remote from the mounting means that face in different directions, and the ducts terminate at respective ports (27, 28) outside the mounting means. The mounting means may define a flow chamber (12) through which sand may flow from the hopper to a sand dispensing device.
