Thank you!

Thanks, that means a lot!

Try distant signal he very good .central you are to

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and find it helpful!

pork chop GP50 I posted the original build dates of these two in my post above.

Hi Charles, good to hear from you again. Was that on Saturday? I might have seen the same train, I counted 187 cars. 3 up front, 3 in the middle, sure are running some big trains now. And thanks for watching!

Central Penn Rail Productions Hi Again from Cornwall. Yes it probably was Saturday, now that you mention it. I was just floored to see 3 DPU units on that train. I’m a watcher, no much of a photographer, so I hope you had a camera turned on. As soon as I saw that consist I thought immediately of you!! Many thanks for responding. I really hoped you knew about that train. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. FYI. I’m now off on my European trip for about 3 weeks of trains and of course my first love: streetcars. I’m in den Haag today to start my trip. Will also do trams, as they call them over here, in Antwerp, Rotterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Milan, Florence, and that crazy one rail mutant traction vehicle in Venice. Also lots of fun passenger trains in between, including a sleeper from Vienna to Milan. I come back 11/5. Also some non-train time in Italy where I’ll meet up with my wife to keep my marriage together. Should be a real Hoot!! Have a great fall season. Keep shooting. You just do a wonderful job. Many, many thanks. CAS

I believe the scheme on 2614 is considered H3. And thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it.

Good question and observation. There is no wye or passing siding on the property according to google satellite, but only the covered car and the gondola flipped-the gray cars have the same number sequence going in and out, so my guess is they use a track mobile to shove cars into their building and when they made the cut they shove the gray cars in the followed by the other two. Thanks for watching!

That makes sense, shove them all in the building, then pull them out the coil cars as a group, then the covered and gondola one by one

1:87/ HO Scale Steel Mill Modeling, i am a fan of modelling steel products and related rail equipment as well to answer your question i don't think so about those rolled steel cars , maybe Scaletrains will probably lead the pack in producing a model in HO or perhaps Atlas who continue to put out coil cars on a consistent basis hope this helps

@@timothybogans3905 Hopefully,some HO manufacturer will take on this coil car in the future. Thanks for the opinion.

@@ModelingSteelinHO You're welcome take care

Dude, it means nothing. It's a handful of cars delivering some steel coils. New cars mean nothing. Old cars get scrapped, new cars get built. I can tell you theres a huge recession coming, probably worse than in '08/'09. We've been seeing signs of it. Fall peak season is very weak this year.

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting!

No problem!

I was wondering the same thing

I was wondering that too. The train as a whole has not been turned. When it's being pushed, the gondola is next to the locomotive, then the covered coil car, then uncovered coil car TW 805857. When the train is being pulled out, TW 805587 is next to the locomotive -- if the train had somehow been turned, that car would have been the last uncovered coil car, still next to the covered one. So, there must have been some switching that moved the gondola and the covered coil car to the back of the train.

I might redo this video at some point since I made this before I had a mic so I tried to explain with text and diagrams though I know it's hard to follow. It's not a joint line, they just have an isolated piece of property that they must get to via what is present day UP.

It's the same kind of car, it just has a cover over it to protect the load from the weather.

Hooded coil gondola. They have insulated hoods to protect certain types of coil steel from the elements.

simple, it's done just like the shell game.

I've always wondered the same thing myself! I assume it's collision reinforcement, but I'll let someone who works on locomotives who knows what they're talking about determine that.

May be a toilet vent tube up through the roof

I'll guess the customer moves the cars inside their plant. The gon pro bably had scrap, which would go into a furnace to be melted. The coils would go elsewhere to be heated, rolled to spec thickness and punched, cut or otherwise formed.

Coils are not reheated. The gondola was probably also a coil car. A lot have coil racks installed in them. This is probably a pickling and shearing company that makes final product for a stamping plant. Steel mills used to do that work, but most outsource it now.

Probably COR-TEN steel which needs no protection.

@@eltoro6688 so those new coil cars are limited to certain materials of the non readily oxidizing type? They are special rolling stock for only certain metals?

@@michaelmccarthy4615 , More than Likely.

I hear ya, but do you want to really hear my voice? Are you volunteering? ;-)

Maxim . Well, its not Navy grade weld anyway.

@PS 400 all depends on the weight of the coils under 25,000 lbs a truck can carry 3 coils that size about 25,000 can only carry 2unless specially permitted to carry more some trucks can carry 4 of those coils at once
