I'm glad you noticed this. It would be great if every video had at least a bit of essential information, such as date and location. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

and no stupid music...

Tom Oakhill the thermite welding I have inspected (I was an NDE technician and AWS CWI not regularly inspecting rail welds) I made sure the rails were spaced proper then the guys would use a form, touch off the thermite then use a a hand grinders to grind down the rail.. After that I checked it visually, them Magnetic MT for surface indications then I used Ultrasound UT Shear-wave for internal indications, if there was any indications depending on how big and what we determine they are, porosity, lack of fusion or actual crack, the chunk of slag under the track would send you a great big indication on you UT scope every time and with varying intensity and size... it will make you want Offshore MODU surveys or a fab shop fast

Why not use one of these..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLR2krmqyMrYdYE.html

@@schmingusss those are expensive

J😊

What’s this nickel trick you are talking about?

We still use the nickel method to measure the “crown “needed at the rail ends ,usually with a 3ft straight edge….although now they have adjustable straight edges where we can lock in the height at opposite ends….

Mm

Goggles would be great too, they are cheap, eyes are not.

Hope you recovered from the shits,man.

You're welcome.

Manual labor, the only real job for a real man. A man that cannot handle a sledgehammer is a sissy...

And always wear safety goggles, they are cheap, eyes are not.

Actually goes pretty fast considering attaching a HEAVY piece of steel, at both ends, that carries a TREMENDOUS amount of weight. I used to watch this process on the railroad tracks that ran through the back yard of my old house. The guys were very quick, and efficient at what they do.

So Dyna can blow her horn.

Thanks.

Not exactly... Here in Serbia it is common to see more people standing and watching those few who work. Especially in state owned companies. Relic if the recent past...

It's that way in many countries of the world.

In germany the Hydraulik Thing is much smaller and more easy to lift. But its still heavy ^^

And now the rails buckle if it's a particularly hot day

there is another video just like this one in Sweden, but it only took 2 workers, not 6, to do the same job, interesting..

@@eduardodelrio2914 Yeah the German one has 2 workers also.

That is exactly what I see when I go to work. Everybody has a job but only 2 people actually do the labor work

2 guys work for the welds. The other ones standing around are hired by another company. They lift the rails how the welders say. They heat the rails to extend the length and make it weldable perfectly. Its not that they stand and do nothing. They just have to wait for the welder to finish

Well, as a partial defense (for this and others like it) learning to do some jobs is not as simple as our current educational system will lead you to believe. Many jobs don't follow the idea of School Education > Skill. In this case, I would not AT ALL be surprised to find that any of these guys were apprentices/masters. Sometimes, you stand by and watch something a dozen (or more times) before it is your turn to "give it a go". You are expected to be observing things and learning while you do the "shit work" like holding an umbrella, dragging the supplies from one place to the next, or staying there while it cools "and come get me if anything catches fire or makes any loud noise". Also, it is pretty clear that not all of those guys are part of the welding crew. Most of them seem to be on-site to do something else. Those guys were probably watching the most interesting parts (Which is pretty much ALL we see since that is how video gets edited).

Tough, hard men.

Thank you.

@@timookello3822 Thanks for pointing out my typo.

In my grade 12 (senior) highschool year, only maybe 6 years ago or so, I had a "spare" half day with no classes one semester, and occasionally volunteered to peer tutor the younger chemistry class, run by my favorite teacher, famous for her "energetic" demos such as blowing up balloons filled with oxy-acetlyne mix and so on. Presumably, she correctly deduced that my real reason for my sticking around to help the students balance redox equations and whatnot, instead of just getting high with my friends, was that the most attractive half-dozen girls in the school happened to be in that class😂 anyways, she let me pick a reaction to demonstrate and explain to the class every Friday, which was seen as a reprieve day from the normal class paper work stuff, so I came to be well-liked by them... Once I blew up about a pound of thermite after downplaying it as a boring thing. I believe I have that footage somewhere... teachers came from the adjacent rooms to see what all the screaming was about. Good times ahahaha

Do you mean the hydraulic rail tensioner? I don't think a "ram seal" is a thing

@@Starkl3t Of course a hydraulic ram has seals in it. How else would it make or hold pressure without seals? Gosh matey boy you got some learning to do before you try and correct me.

Sorry mate most are not skilled welders. Easy work.It used to be good money,better than real welders in a lot of cases

We use one shot pot in the uk now and have done for a number of years... This weld would have failed, the moulds were over cooked, nothing was timed the adjacent line was open to traffic and could have dislodged the weld. So many things wrong here .........,

Allan Mcewan most welder are pensioners and still working because of low income and younger workers are working outside Serbia. not just welders all branches when gets pension they back to serbia to live

milos gocic It is not a good trade any more,if it ever was.

Bitte.

Thanks.

the train to check the work, is also from germany

You're welcome. Unfortunately I have no answer to that question. During welding proces, it must be ensured that the internal stress of the metal (rails) is minimized, so as not to cause break of rail in the cold winter days. Bending rails during the hot summer days is prevented by special track devices and regular constructing of ballast.

I see you got your priorities set well then.

This process is in use all over the world. Nothing old about it.

I agree that this is a dangerous way of rails welding. Serbian railways will have to change the way of welding, once.

ShazenVideos some rail grades do not have single use crucible available so this could be why the reusable crucible is being used.

That eruption bleeds off excess energy... Like all UK engineering since 1950's is like teaching retards.... That funnel bleeds off tons of toxic fumes in the process while the product is working... Like our country they design the most useless process and shit to get away cheap and stupid at the workers health expense...

And just a few of these guys had the brains to wear any protection. I could only see one person covering up his arms and wearing gloves. Maybe he was the one learning the lesson the hard way.

Shazen Russia?

"Not to say it isn't done" - you were watching this video weren't you?

Yes lots of deaf Serbian railroad workers that got sparks in their ears.

Dustin Eward it’s just a good idea. If you do any sort of industrial work you will know it’s just common sense to wear eye and ear protection. It’s just not worth the chance to lose your sight when there are so many things that can go wrong. Lots of guys here were wearing the right PPE and of course it won’t make em invincible but overall it makes a huge difference.

thats cos they know what they're doing and not just an onlooker

they're Russians. Check out the Garage54 youtube channel for more Russian fun.
