I used to tear these down for TTX. Did it for nearly 6 months until I got put on another line modifying rail cars. We used a torch for everything. We also had an over head crane, Wich makes things 1000x easier!

Would like to see how the side frames come off. Thanks for the vids.

Thanks for sharing, keep em coming

why do the spring count very from truck to truck even with cars with the same values for weight for the car. most cars have double springs, a few I found with 3springs inside of each other as part of the group of 9 springs, they were in the center group on each side. most cars only had pairs of springs supporting the car body. having 9 pairs on each side.nice video, thanks for the explanation.

No wonder wheels and trucks fly everywhere in a derailment

cool stuff

I been thinking about getting forklift certified in Washington and work for BNSF.

Any reason why the bushings between the wheels and the sideframes are neither attached to the truck nor to the wheel set?

What about buckeye sets?

Wow so 8 ton of a carriage is just the trucksets

Do the same steps apply to friction bearing trucks as well?

Forklift doesn't sound too good
