⚠️🤨 Hmmm. The thief’s name sounds familiar! “Salaam Alaykum… Pork Chops and Bacon” Keep the borders open…. We need more criminals, mentally ill, and people that will not assimilate. The FORMALLY, great nation of the United States of America is now the declining shithole of the USSA.
As a Car and Wagon Examiner back in the day in New South Wales Australia this video was a memory. I assume that in the states my role was along the lines of a Carman. Pretty much all the same world wide I guess.
I've always wonder how to adjust brake cylinder travel in railcar or adjust slack adjuster ? I work in CNR as a HDM ive only work on locomotive .. would be nice to understand how they work .. thanks
Great video, thank you! Just the detail I was looking for! Why don't the pivot pins ALL lock uin place as far as up and down movement? I would think it might be a safety issue for cars bouncing off the pins. But I guess without turbulence, dropping away of the truck or rolling of the car body off the pins might be rare.
I used to tear these down for TTX. Did it for nearly 6 months until I got put on another line modifying rail cars. We used a torch for everything. We also had an over head crane, Wich makes things 1000x easier!
why do the spring count very from truck to truck even with cars with the same values for weight for the car. most cars have double springs, a few I found with 3springs inside of each other as part of the group of 9 springs, they were in the center group on each side. most cars only had pairs of springs supporting the car body. having 9 pairs on each side.nice video, thanks for the explanation.
I'm preparing to install my own 12T 51ft railcar bridge. The bridge company is suggesting unloading w/ 2 trackhoes but I'm cheap & wondering if I can offload with a single large hoe. Interested in hearing your suggestion. Thanks!
Naw. On the truck mounted brake systems you’ll have break rod/lever attachments and/or a cylinder hose. But for the most part it just sits on a pin. Sometimes I’ve bent the pin and tossed it and let it ride with no pin.
Thanks. Good to know the weight. How total height was it on the trailer and how far did you move it ? Far easiest way to do it, nothing removed as long has it can pass under bridges and power lines. Great work.
Hello! Does it comes in white colour also? I am asking for pedestrial brisges, where black colour would make the surface very hot on summer, and therefore unpleaseant for people walking. Thank you.
4 years later, I know what you were describing but I got bored at 1:52. Maybe you should have started from the building of the axle to the complete truck, to how many trucks are on a car. bouncing around made it unwatchable. sorry
Wear liner is also known as the GREASE DISC. The grease disc goes over the CENTER PIN. The pin rests inside the CENTER PLATE (or) BOWL. CONSTANT CONTACT SIDE BEARING. They have a composite rubber in them to cushion the car in movement. Some have a steel wheel in them called a roller bearing. Also. Truck sets and wheel sets ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE GROUND. Every single set in this frame is going to need a roller bearing inspection. They come off the truck and straight onto rails. If for ANY reason they touch dirt, gravel, grass, pavement, concrete, black top etc.. they must be put under inspection per the AAR Field Manual. Even if it’s a repair facility, home shop or interchange. They must not touch ground.
I Saw three types of Rail car trucks in India. 1) Fright coach rail car truck ( shown in this video) 2) ICF Coach rail car truck. 3) LHB coach rail car truck. Now you should show 2 and 3 rail car trucks.
