And here you are watching it on KZfaq. 😄

did you enjoy doing this? Ive been thinking about joining something similar. any advice?

I wish railroading had a sport

My gramps did the same at the B&O, then Nickelplate. Retired in 1955 ? then his boy(my dad) continued with the N&W. They havent updated the garbage since. Third World rail system...rrrrrr. Even Chile's is better.

Meldins STI It was for me

Juou

Just got it in mine.

Got it

Only reason I’m here

Dope

Yet its a BNSF train car

@@textiles9562 it was a CP Rail engine, if the car really needed it, it's very possible that CP Rail took it upon themselves to do it then send the bill to BNSF

@@kevo05s but this is all about one train car

It literally said Canadian pacific on the train 0:15

@@kevo05s that’s exactly how it works. All required maintenance on any car must be done by any railroad as needed, and billing is controlled by the AAR.

new tech

I do not think Canada has to strong of unions, and the workers are to polite to take advantage of their employer by gold bricking

Nothing to unbolt, cut the frame key for the wheel being changed, chain it up and lift

The whole reason I watched this is to see how they are attached

@@scootersonlyrepair6773 I guess they just set on the axles then. The only thing holding them together seems to be gravity.

Patriotic Anarchist youtube recommended video

it's like cat videos for men

Same wtf

Because you found the great side of youtube. :D

I just watched 2 hours of railroad stuff and seen nothing but White men no black men can repair rail cars and tracks and make this easy money using car lifts and fork lifts wow I guess we did all the hard work building the actual rail road system a long with the Chinese and Irish fuck I want a repair rail cars and locomotives damn

taking the tire of the rim or just a new tire with the rim already on it?

yup go to a garage its slow as molasses in January go to a train yard indy 500 why beats me

im sorry but english is not my first language.

Eltontv don't sweat that guy. Some people forget youtube is an international website and want to act like pricks if someone makes a mistake.

Kille78 it is not a good comparison. What you did not see here was all the planning and scheduling and moving equipment into place and staging prep work gained from years of experience that went into making this a 10-minute job. The way they make it look easy is because they had it all planned out ahead of time. And replacing a rail wheel is pretty much the same every time so you only need one good process on how to do it. Most auto mechanics don't have any idea what is coming to their shop next. They can't plan ahead too much.

riphaven this thing probably cost as much as the entire hf store

first time I've seen a Honda engine with that much torque

Yup

You could always buy 200 HF bottle jacks and hire 200 union workers to run them.

Cavan Mejias love ave

My gf sayes the same thing

hydraulic line locks on the cylinders keeps them safe in case of a hose failure.

Specialized hydraulic lifts usually have safety latches....like car lifts....

@@michaelmccarthy4615 i have a snooper that has something like this, and i walk under it with 6 tons above my head, no worries.

@@rearspeaker6364 mechanical safety mechanisms (steel latches) are safer then pure hydraulic line locks. Especially when you want no movement in the system while repairs are performed or the repairs take longer and must stay put.

on the apparatus is pilot operated (PO) check valve that,as a fail safe,also locks the hydraulics cylinders,this PO check valve prevents the platform from coming down in case of hose failure. www.valvehydraulic.info/linear-actuators/hydraulic-pilot-operated-check-valve.html

+Alex those Duff Nortons are dangerous. I've seen them give out and drop cars. You must be working for a scab company to still be using those. Stay safe and be ready for anything with those pos jacks.

its not rated THAT heavy...................better call mammot!!!

You have got the best comment award... LMAOOOOOOO

I've forwarded your comment to your wife.

@@9treesthanks.

That gives me an idea. GrannyGantry.

Hell, it only took these guys 10 minutes, and everyone seemed to be contributing in some way. Not like they dragged it out or anything.

Paul has a ton of patience and is good at it, as long as the supervisors do not stick their noses in, things go smoothly

That lift has lock if hydraulics fail it still wont fall

@@MickNJ1979 how's that?

Flange looks worn and wheel is probably no longer cone-shaped. Usually they are cone shaped so they can take corners better.

I used to live in Enola Pennsylvania and we lived right around the corner from Norfolk Southern

Yeah, I was feeling anxious for them. Everything works perfectly... until it doesn't.

@Damnit Bobby That's the Canadian way, I suppose...

Maybe they have excellent disability insurance. one mangled hand, and live the rest of the life relaxing and getting pensions.

I cringed every time I saw also not having any blocks in place should the hydraulics fail was pretty bad too, you'd think guys like that would know better

Well i tough they have to do just like in cars

I think the blocks of wood go under the frame.

Have a look at us pushing wheels off axles with oil injection ,70,000 psi makes people nervous, if they get stuck we add a 100 ton puller, always entertaining.

@@garethjones7182 Cool! Is there a video?

Are ya

Yea.....well we cant be perfect like ur dad

Work smarter not harder...

haha nice 1

Can't spell stupid without UP.

@@andrewarmstrong7310 I did a first aid course and there was a CP conductor there. Their slogan is "at cp we make dollars not sense"

Cp doesn’t allow this either. They use it to fire you if they really want to.

@@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife Yes he would.. an no chineseium in the mix at all there.

👌

cmonster6 Good crew as far as time wise, but could be done much safer. A wheel's flange will cut like a surgeon's scalpel when you have one end of a 30 ton car pressing against it. Grab the wheels by the bearings!!

Dylan Baldwin i learned something! Wheels are sharp

Brett Cheeseman if the flange is worn thin you have a 36 in diameter 3000 lb pizza cutter.

It is a great job, take the good with the bad, not so fun in -35c and 2 feet of snow, but we still got the job done

SparkDalmatian I think they wrapped chains around it to hold them up..otherwise they stay on the ground

No they don't use chains,they lock them in place with brackets see 3:29

Col. Angus at 0:49 sec you can see the chains that keep the truck assembly tight to the train car..

Col. Angus between 5:50 and 6:00 you can see the loose end hanging and the other end go thru the truck to hold it up.

SparkDalmatian there is another video titled "tank car wheel change part 1" at the 12 min mark you can see the same operation with the chains holding the truck to the car

ordonezno don't know the mileage, but it's steel on steel, and debris, sand, and dust gets up on the rails and can wear them down, naturally though friction will wear them down after a while, I don't remember but I think sometimes they take the outer metal tire band off and replace it, i think they just heat it up and it expands and then they heat up a new one and press it on and it shrinks to a tight fit. I think if they do, this case was probably they needed a quicker solution to replace it, so instead of removing it they just took the whole wheel/axle out and replaced it maybe because the had a dead line or couldn't replace a band out here. Don't quote me on this though.

ordonezno there could be a number of things wrong with it, say the flanges are worn down or the steel cracked or something, but it is much faster just to pop the wheel out like this than to take the whole car out of revenue freight

5109lover j

In most rail car applications the bearing that allows the wheel to spin freely is a part of the wheel itself. If that bearing fails the wheel can't turn, thus the need to replace the wheel.

Ok here is THE simplest way I can explain. That little lip on the inside of the wheel called a flange is the only thing keeping that on the tracks after going around so many corners and carrying such a heavy load on steel with steel wheels it wears it down if that flange breaks it could derail the train costing the rail company millions depending on how bad it is where it's at what's damaged so there hoped that helped

Not sure that they could put a stand under those... They are lifting at a pivot point between cars, thus both cars would have to be supported by a stand. Even if a hose burst the cars falling most likely wouldn't kill anyone. If you pay attention, they keep their hands and bodies clear of all things that could be crushed if the car fell. Almost no chance the car would fall side-ways as they are being lifted at a pivot area. Keep in mind, that the section still has one wheel set attached, so if it did fall, it wouldn't be all the way to the ground.

there's a latch that locks the jack in place.

Cylinders have hydraulic fluid locks mounted right on them. If the supply hose blows, they won't retract. Same thing track hoes and lots of other heavy equipment have for safety of the boom not crashing down.

that, maybe the only fault with this setup!! hope there are restricting valves on those cylinders in case a hose fails.---edit,--i see counterbalance(line lock)valves attached to the cylinders on their scissor lift.

The cylinders have load holding valves so if a hose goes then the cylinders don't move. the shear weight of the train cars would squash a typical car or even semi truck jack stand

@@02Franxx said same thing...............

Ask yourself why they also had to run an electric cable and look up pilot-check-valves. When there's no electricity for the solenoid, a hose break won't be catastrophic. It's the kind of thing needed for hydraulics because they're used in riskier situations.

@@jameswyatt1304 actually, that is the control cord for the electro-hydraulic control valves that are part of the scissor lift jack platform-those line lock-counterbalance check valve are on the outside of the cylinders as seen on 6:11 on the video. the hand-held control for those calves can be seen at 2:03-it is a dirty yellow,with a cord coming out of the bottom.

Thanks Phil

@@HKsOutdoorAdventures thank YOU!!

@@HKsOutdoorAdventures im subscribed !!

Eltontv not necessarily, they probably removed the devices holding it before jacking as evident due to the other sets not falling off

yeah this could be true. but i saw crashed trains and videos were the waggon came up and the wheels were just rolling away on the rails without the waggon. i try to google it

In most cases it's just the weight of the rail car resting on the wheels roller bearing adapter's. Some truck sets do have the retainer clips that bolt on to the side frame. These do keep the wheel from coming out of place from the trucks. You see one at beginning of the video when he remembers it from his trailer. Looks like a wedge with a bolt hole on one end.

Lance Landreneau oh yeah now i see it. The other wheels are still attached to the waggons. So yeah they have to be locked in place by a bolt

Lancashirelad i think on top of the wheels attached to the waggons

@@karagregory69 more. Think Canadian in him came out before he spell checked it.

maor is like more but, eastern european version. lol

Being in the automotive repair industry for 40 years, I would anticipate horizontal pins fully hardened including the races and big enough to handle 1/8 the gross weight of the car loaded. I believe I saw a video of those bearings being serviced. One crew would just do change outs with already serviced bearings, then the old ones would go back to the plant where they would be cleaned and inspected, if ok they would be re greased and boxed to end up being put back into service.

@@DrHarryT Pretty much my thoughts also, I would watch 100 cars go by while on a road test with a customers car and wonder about that. I did around 40 years too, with a stint in construction, and a little avation too. Cheers....

them is BAB bearings...
