All of those wheels it must be dens material, and I'm wondering if they pay a premium for having it transported by rail. Any thoughts? ~M.B.-----09/09/2024-----
@@ClintBlack-oq4vb I know the costs to transport dimensional shipments like this are pretty high, but i don't know how much exactly. In many cases these loads can only be transported by rail because of their size, weight, and/or territory to cover, so that causes shipment costs to be higher. But, I'm just the engineer. I don't have much knowledge of their billing and accounting haha
@@kensingtonchapp4819ya your an engineer, we're all engineers!!! Freeking gased up machine operators in this world. If I run a tray pack that hardly works to load your boxcars, and I have to work on the machine. Then❤😂🎉 I'm an engineer.
There was a very interesting clinic about this move at the NMRA convention in Long Beach earlier this month. To prepare for this they scanned the entire route with LIDAR a few days earlier, and temporarily moved obstructions that were too close. Also there was a bridge in south Orange County that had to be temporarily shored up. They moved the train partially onto the bridge, stopped it, and measured the deflection. If it was more than 0.75 inch, the move would have been cancelled and even more reinforcements added.
Cool video of this particular rail car! However, I think the real remarkable story here is a train that has 2 cabooses on it in 2024! Seriously miss seeing trains with them!
@@janjohnson9746 There's no reason to have any guards. They're just transporting a decommissioned part of a nuclear power station. There's no nuclear material on this train.
Just in case anybody wonders why this is called a "Schnabel" car: Schnabel means beak in German. The triangular structures carrying the container somewhat resemble a bird's beak, that's the reason it's called that way.
That car should have gone to a railroad museum with a fake load simulated between the two sections. It would have been a great way to show the lengths railroads would go to handle loads and satisfy customers.
It's sad to hear you say that after this cargo move that the schnabel car was going to be scraped out, how else are they going to move big over sized loads like this
Is not the Schnabel car unique? Why would it be scraped? Is there a car of greater capacity? Is this the last load of its magnitude ever to be transported?

I was almost the locomotive engineer on this train but I wasn't FRA rested in time from my last shift to take the call.

Lots of people involved in the move
There will be heavily armed guards in the cabooses. Same as with hot fuel shipments.

This car should go to a rail road museum somewhere
I remember seeing them pick this up at Pendleton
i can’t believe they are scrapping that car

This isn't the only one in existence.
Must have reached it's life limits?
@etrainsvideos7439 but there's already not enough of them.
Early 1960s Plymouth Valiant convertible passes at 3:29.
I would love to know how those cars actually operate.

Nice video sir. I'm kinda amazed no armed folks on and around the train.
They're in the cabooses and accompanying vans.
There's no nuclear material on the train: it's just a decomissioned part of a nuclear power station.
They are there, but not in plain sight
@@bradkenady8490 No, they're not there at all because there's no nuclear material on this train. It's just a piece of power station.
Great video and amazing camera work
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great Video!
Why are they scrapping it ?
Awesome video! 😃👍❤️🚂💨💨💨💨💨🚙
