I like especially how the grinder was working with snow on the ground, and that freight that was “closing” in was working in nice warm weather :/
Exactly, there was no "freight train closing in", they assume we are all 4th graders
They always have to add such drama
@@WayneTesta4444 Because Murica!
Exactly why I completly stopped watching tv about 3 years ago. Every show turned into this overly dramatic garbage. Much better watching actual people doing the actual work on youtube. Which is what I was hoping this was when I clicked on it.
@@MonkeyGus Yeah, "Murica". Even though it's a Canadian railroad and a British show network lol
I learned something new here. I've never heard of a grinding train. I always figured they had to replace the track when it got bad. That was neat.
Just can't tell a story anymore without throwing some drama in...
At the end of the 70s, beginning of the 80s, I worked at Canadian Steel Wheel (CSW) in Montreal.
This factory made forged train wheels from scrap steel.
Two electric arc furnaces, each with a capacity of 90 tons, melted and cast steel into ingots over 15 feet long by 20 inches in diameter.
These ingots were then cut into cylindrical blocks of varying lengths depending on the diameter of the wheels to be produced.
Once red-hot, these blocks passed through the 7 hydraulic presses of the forge, to give them the shape of a train wheel.
Then remained the stage of final machining, before shipping to customers.
Nice to see the local rails featured on TV 👍
The Wheel-O-Matic.
Classic
Looks like a lathe to me lol
Interesting so after 8 minutes you didn't show any wheels getting repaired, just a second or two of a lathe. So anyone wanting to know how train wheels are repaired don't bother watching this.
Because there is no way to safely repair train wheels . Gotta be completely melted down .
Reminds me of gra sanandreas train using the cinematic camera angle
This five minute long, TERRIBLY EDITED FROM A FULL SHOW is maddening.
Exactly what I was thinking. 10 ads jeez. Thanks ScrewTube.
This is my home town. I live here and drive past/over the ONR yard sometime over a dozen times a day. They've been around a long time. But not as busy as they were when I was a kid and they had passenger services.
Several years ago they had a derailment about 5 miles from that rail crossing the grinder went through. The derailment went right into one of 5 homes back yards I that area.
Fun to watch👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think, how do they get broken is a good question. Solid steel. Whew.
a LOT of stress... immense stress
I don’t think the narrator could sound more patronising if he tried.
My grandfather did this job for Great Northern Railway in St. Paul Minnesota
The narrator sounds the same as the one on Guy Martin Proper, hell they might actually be the same person
It’s the same guy, Shaun Dooley
@@Davo1969 I figured, that's cool and his voice is so iconic
I would assume wheel maintenance is just a standard activity. The narration is so dramatic but it's over the top. If they talked about this in the context of the tires on a car, it could blow out while travelling down the freeway and people could starve because fast food takeout didn't get home.
Hahahaha
Good one....
Great Stuff
It's the end of the world without drama! Saved again by Docu-Drama Hyperbole!
Just here to wish yall aunt a goodday.
Wow
There is a new machine that does the same job without having to remove the axle from the cars/locomotive. It hoists the entire unit up. My brother designed part of it and installs them. Brightline & BNSF both have them, among other rail companies.
Nice!!!!
Yeah, add welding sounds to the grinding... Cause thats how it works...
Like watching a foreign war movie, and the subs say man screaming etc.
I’ve lived by Tehachapi loop for 57 years…
Nice sharing Vidio my friend 👍 greeting from Indonesian traditional gold finder friend 🇲🇨🇲🇨
Ohey it's the same narrator as Guy Martin
lmfao, so much fake drama. It's so over exaggerated. I'm a 22 year veteran of the mechanical dept. I like how they make out that 400 wheel sets in a year is a lot or something. lmfao. Some places in the US do 400 in a 24 hr day!
Thanks for the video, but why the horrible intrusive music??? Best of luck!
I didn't know Liam Neesen did voiceovers for obscure TV shows.
Kinda like a Plec machine on a guitar necks frets...
I'm surprised Ontario Northland is in this Documentary.
The narrator needs some mints.
Sounds like a pack-a-day cigarette smoker.
I wonder what the average length of rail/gadge life expectancie is?
2-50 years. Depending on it's use, tonnage on it, and amount of curve in it, etc.
@@TheNemosdaddy thanks for the info..thought there would be a big difference..
Manufactured drama is the WORST
Nice job with the FAKE tension!!!! Hahahahah hahahahah!!!!
This is only addressing worn trailer wheels here. Wonder if Diesel locomotive driving wheels are different? Steam locomotives had replicable drive wheel shoes.
The wheel sets with the large gears inboard were drive axles.
That "explanation" of wheel "differential" speed around curves is nuts. Man, l see it all the time. If the curve superelevation is correct and the train speed is also correct thru a curve the train will settle pretty close to the centerline of the track due to the combined addiction of the centrifugal force vector pulling the train outboard and the weight vector pulling it down. There will thus be NO appreciable Δ in wheel diameters contacting the railhead and thus no differentiation. It'll squeal like crazy thru the curve.
The flanges do a lot of the squealing. I'd rather hear squealing that the narrators horrible voice.
I can't find any information about this show, like anywhere. It has no IMDB, no Wiki page, nothing on DMAX's site, and I can't even find torrents that might have credits I can watch. Who has information about this show???
Should use Reardon Steel.
What is that "reardon steel"?
@@Mesdriver Atlas Shrugged is a 1957 novel by Ayn Rand. One of the characters makes a new kind of train rail. Hence Reardon Steel.
@@CarterWHern Hank wasn't it, Hank Reardon? Called it Reardon Metal rather than steel. Been fifty years since reading that book.
Luckily this was filmed on a world where everything is completely blue
whatt so you telling me your world is different. have colors and some shit ive been stuck in blue world where everything is dramatic
Disasterrrrrrrrr could happen at any mommmment..
Why do so many of these videos have to be so dramatized?
How about just walking us how a truck/rail becomes defective, what it takes to be repaired/replaced, and what happens t the old, defective item INSTEAD of showing us an overdramatized animation of a rail breaking or wheel set derailing?
Just another topic ruined by the fake docudrama styling from know nothings down at the head office.
I wish we had that machine back in the day, We had to drop the traction Motor, hook up a generator, Secure a rig to the track, it was a shit show
Talk about over acting on the narrators part.
WAAAAY too dramatic! Give the hype a rest, please.
wheel o matic...bruh its a big ass lathe its nothing special
Would have been good without all the false crisis BS by the narrator.
Manufactured drama, terrible script and narrator. Thumbs down.
This IS NOT a wheel repair video.
I don’t know why the narrator can’t talk normally.
Actually, the wheels themselves cannot be repaired. Journal bearings can be replaced, as can tyres. But thaey are not , frome a purist point of view, parts of the wheel. They are component parts of the wheel assembly.
If you are going to pretend to be an expert, at least get thr basic facts correct.
wheels don't develope flat spots hogheads put them on the wheels
Not a good video. Gives as little information as possible. It seems that producer has no idea what is going on, so they just string together random clips then add narration so an eight year old thinks there is actual content. What we call "Virtually content-free video." A ten-year-old could do better research.
Guy should atop taking, “How to Talk Like a Dick” lessons and teach them instead.
mother of all freight trains? bullshit.
WTF is wrong with the narrator?
Whats with the stupid music?
