All about freight rail car springs. This is one Cool Video! Show you defects and types of springs on rail freight cars along with showing you the springs getting compressed
as the car is loaded and decompressed as the car is getting unloaded. We will show
you rail car spring groups and patterns of groups along with a nest of springs and
spring designations.
Check out my other You Tube channel with more cool railroad and
rail fanning videos along with other adventures Dave has:

it's good to show people how this kind of thing gets done so that they have an appreciation of the work. There are a lot of times when rules and legislation is done without the people writing the rules and legislation having any idea about the subject matter. The rail industry (and coal for that matter) are background industries that people take for granted. What these guys do makes our way of life possible and people should see it. Besides, it's just fun stuff to watch!

I have a freight car spring story from my childhood. In the 1920s there was a train wreck near my house in southern illinois, and they left most of the wreckage in the creek. As a child in the 1990s and 2000s I dug up a lot of that debris in the creek and those springs must have been born to fly because some were a bit further from the wreckage than I expected. I can imagine they were under a lot of tension when the bridge collapsed and then got instantly released. I still have those springs and they are absolute beasts.

You don't know what "fun" truly is until you replace the leaf springs on a heavyweight Pullman passenger car. My Dad taught me when I was a little kid how to check the springs to see if the car was loaded or not. I seem to recall certain Milwaukee Road boxcars with wood sides and fishbelly frames with leaf springs that had been converted to work train service. Excellent video, thanks Dave!

Very observant Brian. I bet not a whole lot of folks noticed that. We have 3 different makers of truck sets under our cars. Barber, Motion Control and Ridemaster. Each maker has their own design for the damping system (suspension system). Although each maker is similar and they all work, but the different designs are what you are seeing in the difference in bolster drop and rise. Really appreciate your writing in and for taking the time to watch. May you have a very good day my friend.

This is one of your finest ("instructional") videos ever, Dave. I've always been interested in the underbody "goings-on" of freight and passenger cars, and this show has motivated me to "spring into action" and look even closer at railcars as they pass by me trackside!! Down here in Central Florida where I live, CSX handles countless numbers of hoppers loaded with sand, aggregate, and coal...and I watch / video many of them in various consists. The aggregate loads are most accessible (from a "railfan's" perspective), as they are oftentimes set-out on sidings for later transfers into their respective plants / destinations. With what you've now taught me, I will take a much closer look at these "truck sets" and the stenciling on the carbodies. Thank you, thank you, thank you...another "great day on the railroad"!! 🤗👌👍👍

Hello my friend. Always glad to see your happy smile on your videos. This was interesting because not many people get to see rail cars being loaded, in this case 115 tons, and see the springs compressed or not. Usually when train watching you either see cars go by either loaded or unloaded by the springs. Hope you continue to be healthy and happy…

Well Dave, you do know somethings about passenger car suspensions. Tho there may be significant differences from freight trucks there are also many basic similarities to passenger gear (like springs!) and your expertise on freight trucks gives you much basic knowhow on passenger car requiements. Always good to have you demonstrate the critical basics of railroad equipment and functions!
