Abstract of the Disclosure An apparatus and system for unloading bulk particulate material from a railroad tank car is described. At a discharge station a high pres- sure water distributor unit is provided with an outlet end adapted to be positioned over an inlet opening on each tank car. A supply conduit is mounted for vertical rotation within each tank car with the conduit's upper end positioned within the inlet opening of the tank car. A rotary conduit is carried on the outlet end of the distributor unit and is adapted to be coupled in fluid-tight, rotary connection with the upper end of the supply conduit. A nozzle carried by the supply conduit is positioned for directing a high pressure stream of liquid to impinge upon and form a mixture with the material as the supply conduit is being rotated. The mixture which is thus formed flows through a discharge opening of the tank car and into a collection receptacle provided at the discharge station. A source of liquid under pressure supplies the distribution unit. The discharge opening is in vertical register with the inlet opening. The supply conduit extends from the inlet to the discharge opening. A first bearing mechanism is mounted in the inlet opening for rotatably supporting the upper end of the supply conduit and a second bearing mechanism is mounted within the discharge opening for support- ing the lower end.
