CAB TORN OPEN! 1ST TIME CATCH CHATTAHOOCHEE INDUS RR CAR, 20 AXEL SCHNABEL & CABOOSE, POLAR EXPRESS 

I used to be a daily commuter on Metro-North. That's an experience I would not want to repeat.

That engineer earns a 1-up!

I hope there was no crew on board when that incident happened.

Thing is, the JB Hunt boxes are multimodal international shipping containers, not rail cars. A manufacturer or supplier can rent the container, have it trucked to their warehouse, filled and closed, trucked directly to its destination; or trucked to the railroad; or trucked to the seaport; as appropriate. Then the container box can be hauled anywhere from hundreds of miles to thousands of miles on land by rail, or across oceans; and once there offloaded to a truck for its ultimate delivery to whoever purchased its contents. Managing the containers is enough of a full time job that such a company is wise to leave the actual transportation of the container to those companies who spend their effort and resources and money providing and maintaining the transport vehicles. 📖 A book worth reading for more history and information is "The Box: How the shipping container made the world smaller and the world economy bigger" by Marc Levinson, April 2016, with 544 pages.

First, railroads are very expensive to operate on a long haul basis. Second, JB Hunt contracts for rail haulage. They get a rate per container and somewhat of a delivery time table. Third, it's less expensive to move by rail than over the road.

JB Hunt can make a deal to have BNSF do a JB Hunt Tribute Train 😊

But then Besos would also need Union Pacific to do his

This is what happens when a train sideswipes another train (via running thru a switch into opposing traffic)

@@smokayman yeah That's happened.

The same thing happened to UPY 867

There was nobody inside the cab, right?

​@T128Productions not anymore

Cool, huh?

Ya-hoo!

The rail could be blocked or out of service north of the station. We had that happen in Tucson where a train broke down and blocked the rails just east of the depot. Same situation where the train had to back in. Interesting to watch in real time.

there was a stowaway on the end DPU of previous eastbound, who had to be dealt with in Niota, which blocked Main 1, there for A3 had to use Main 2, go to switch and back into the station

@@johnstafford4304 Thanks John for that information.

Hi Randy!

Why? Princeton IN are cool and, beautiful town..

What

Don't worry, It'll buff out!😆

Looks like an electrical transformer for a power station or switch yard

As a Lineman I can tell you its a substation transformer

@@lightnin1989 Thanks.. What I was thinking.

Autobotts seeking new Scenery cross-country trip 😮😂...

@@richardbause2453 No, not those kind of Transformers silly! 🤣

The “whoop” sound - not the bell

@@joeylawn36111 I think it might be caused by an air compressor idk.

Generator switch off kicking on I presume , it's on an old Sound affects album from 1995

While what you say is possible, before you assume too much, believe this has happened before where north switch blocked/out of service requiring station access from south/west end with a back-up.

@@johnstafford4304 they still could have just walked across the tracks with and all station platforms like old days.

​@@ShuttletrainDon't think the RR Safety people or the insurance carriers would agree with you.

@@kennethhanks6712 it works in lots of places. And railroads use block protection all the time..

Pause the video where you like. duh

@@J3scribe Bingo!
