When rolling stock work slowed would end up working as extra hands for maintenance. Conveyors always took a beating. Had roughing screens fresh off crusher. A few had alternate source feeds as shot wall was prescreened. Out of five to nine conveyors always one going down mid day as tricks roll in for stone.
Haul trucks dumped into a common feed chute at top of wall, prescreen would separate crusher feed from separable sized materials. Crusher run then had its own belts to screens to stockpiles.
Rollers would fail, smoke was a good hint. Motor failures tended to be spectacular. Belting ripped, welds or transit supports would fail or buckle, corrosion a constant companion.
Always had belting leftovers for spare creepers and parts tear down benches. Always a mountain of scrap somewhere on the yard.

Lots of people, come alongs, clamps, usually a crane involved. Tension weight was always a load of fun.
Screen bars beat to a pulp, fail into the conveyor, job boss whining about changing out bolts like it was coming out of his pocket.

I take it Harrison Mine is Long Wall shallow seam, Mine to Mouth facility. Lots of conveyor to keep functional. Wash plant is break point?
