Thats a cool video to watch. I'm just sitting in my office building an AMT D8H bulldozer kit, with a whole pile of custom parts going on it. I wish somebody did a kit for a side boom, It would be a lot of work and a hard time to scratch build without a real one to look at. Thanks for posting

130 ton jumbo grain hoppers have torqued a lot of track in my time with the railroad...(BNSF 1978 to 2008)

They and their higher-cap hoppers are the standard though. And they kept a massive amount of grain on rails and off the highways and barges

All you have to do is go down to the tracks and detail a train and sit back over there in your car and watch. Might wanna bring a couple of 2 liter's and a pack of ham and cheese and a loaf of bread and some ear plugs.

Excellent video/still sequence. Wish you had been able to film to finish. Saw some broken rails at the beginning - was that the cause or the consequence of the derailment?

Peter; Thanks for your comment. Not exactly sure what caused the derailment. Was not able to see them repair the track. Camera battery was low and I had it with the wind so I called it a day.

yea but it still dont mean its easy, lot of weight, and things dont always like to rerail, I only had to see a derailment once in person like up close, trying to rerail is a real pain when the turn on our property at the fort wayne historical railroad split and dropped nkp 765 on the ground, took many attempts, lucky it only suffered a bent sander pipe I think very little damage was done, that was with a shop switcher and a derail and rerail, and some say the old derreck wrecker cranes did better, of course they were slower then molasses to turn, and not as mobile as one of them sidewinder crawlers. but you be surprised was a few whitting hydralic car jacks and some blocks of wood can pick up and hold, or how easy it is to move railcar wheels with a little effort even a small man like me can roll them with a bit of effort though they are quite heavy. everything railroad related pretty much is one dont have an inkling how thick the metal is till you get up real close when working on it in restoration or railroad work, dont belive me try banginging your head on the stuff, it dont have any give unlike the sheet metal on a car or cabinet at home. all the draft gear under the cars is made of cast steel or is forged, and the sides of the tender look at least 1/8 inch mild steel, almost as bad is setting a 10 lb block of firebrick from the brick arch in the firebox down on your finger, did that and still have a knot on my finger and that was back in october when I did that roughly. when putting it down on the firepot where the coal comes up into the firebox from the automatic stocker when the steam loco is running it has such an apatite for coal 3 people could not keep up with it , as for the brick arch it keeps the combustable gases down a bit longer comming from the coal so it gets more therough combustion otherwise the draft from running would suck all the unburned gases right up the stack and cinders from the fire along with it the more combustion and therough burning of the coal you use the better and more effecent it is, and with only 8 to 12 percent on a steam loco of its thermal effecentcy you need all you can get, but it makes lots and lots of power, and the more use of the expanded steam the better get all the push from that thermal energy in the steam. which livio dante porta was a master of doing

I believe the term used for these guys is "car knockers". RJ Coleman has been doing this for years. Great story on the guy too and how he got started. Those pipe-layer crawlers get in and get the job done very efficiently. Long paid for and work great. Operator is the key though. Great video.

I have often wondered why both this company and RJ Coreman use rigid trailers for such large equipment. It would seem that detachable neck low boys would be safer. Any body know why?

Some big cranes have rubber tires under them, others run on rail so you have to lay track as you go to clean up. The railway wrecking cranes I saw years ago had 20 mph slow orders so it took time get there. These are multipurpose and do other jobs and not restricted to railroads. They can load them up and get on the interstate and be there quickly. Most rr sold of there wrecking cranes years ago. You should email rj corman since I’m no expert.
