This video is excellent! It showcases all the features of a typical tank car along with all needed safety information that must be displayed on it. Two thumbs up! 👍 👍 🚂 🇺🇸

Great video. I've been an ethanol loadout worker for 11 years. I actually learned quite a bit from your video.

I'm a railcar mechanic and while he was accurate in all his info, he could have gone into a little more detail on the accessory plate fittings, and shown the inside of the car with the siphon pipe.

I have deal with those cars when I worked for American Crystal Sugar, we were putting raffinate, sugar trailing's in those cars. Summer, rain, snow, lightning storms, heat, cold etc. Try walking, climbing on those containers in those weather conditions. Remember, Safety First, those things will creep, hand break the cars before and after the car your loading. Never trust gravity. They will KILL you.

I was wondering if some tank cars seem to sag just a bit and others look like they don't. Is this because the full ones sag and empty ones don't, or do they just sag over time? Or am i seeing things that aren't there?

what material is the rail tank made out of

@Captleemo 3 жыл бұрын

I have noticed that some tank cars are shaped like a hot dog for lack of a better description which I assume is to make sure all the liquid gets drained out when unloading but what about the tank cars that are straight with no downward curvature in the middle?

@billdixon3703 2 жыл бұрын

I know this was commented a year ago but better later than never. You are correct on the curvature, those are gp cars or general purpose cars. They have a bov or a bottom outlet valve which the commodity flows out of. The “straight” cars are generally a high pressure car which mostly contain a gaseous commodity which can be unloaded through a valve at the top of the car. So there’s no need to have the car sloped towards the center since pressure cars don’t generally have a bov.

@danielebrparish4271 4 жыл бұрын

I think the laws of physics calls for a skid plate on the top of the tank car in addition to the one on the bottom.

@Bassotronics 4 жыл бұрын

@ *Daniel Miller^ Yes in the case of a roll over, the top should also be protected.

Why are roller bearings on more modern tank cars blue?

@Bassotronics 4 жыл бұрын

The blue bearing caps you are spotting identify Brenco Class K 61⁄2 x 9 bearings manufactured for 286,000-pound trucks. These bearings are a double-row, tapered-design, fatigue-resistant unit for heavy haul application, using a low torque seal option that increases fuel efficiency. These bearings are becoming more prevalent as 50 percent of North America’s rail freight is now moving on 286,000-pound-compatible trucks.

The "LD LMT" is that the weight of the empty car, PLUS the product, or just the product only? Thx

Where is your harness sir

@MuddyBob650 2 жыл бұрын

Some require it, some don't. This is due to the birdcage railing and nonskid on top. Where I work, we require a harness regardless. However; at any point outside the birdcage will require a harness.
