I watched this when i was a wee lad. Didn't expect to find the whole thing on YT

Was just tinkering on my model trains and these guys get to play with the real thing!

Oh yeah London Bridge, when the new owner bought the WRONG bridge lmao

@derekwall200 Год назад

yeah it can get kind of sketchy when you have large 100+ ton locomotives moving through on street running railroad lines (IE the santa cruz beach train). there is always that risk of a low speed car vs train mishap

Look at Virtual Railfan's cam pages. LaGrange, KY and Ashland, VA. Mainline railroad goes right throuh the middle of downtown. There are incidents periodically, mostly from idiots who cannot wait that extra minute or so, and ignoring flashing lights, bells whistles and common sense. It's NOT the railroad's fault!

Who could have thought that sheets of plywood would break under such load....

Ya got it wrong.... Big Boy 4014 is the world's largest locomotive, and it lives in Cheyenne Wyoming USA

@YeOldeGeezer Год назад

Maybe in wheel numbers but not in tractive effort

@bigredc222 Год назад

I just looked it up. Big Boy is 132 ft. with 27,800 lbs. tractive effort. Centennial is 98 ft. with 113,940 lbs. tractive effort. There were 25 Big Boys built, 4014 was restored to operating condition, and there are eight that are static displays like the one in this video. The rest were scrapped. There were 47 Centennials built, 11 in museums, 1 awaiting repairs, 1 pending disposition, and 34 scrapped.

I’m pretty sure the entire class has that title

@KurtBenning Месяц назад

I thought the big boy has 135 thousand pounds of tractive effort?@@bigredc222

@christos7440 Год назад

Annoying - a locomotive is what pulls a train. The two words aren't interchangeable

@Alzaar_The_Gunzel 11 месяцев назад

Eh, I disagree

@The_DuMont_Network 10 месяцев назад

@@Alzaar_The_Gunzel Well, then, you are wrong. A train can be a string of just about anything. A locomotive is one specific item. Do a little research.

Either the owner of that house or the moving company were ignorant, misinformed, foolhardy or too cheap to go through channels, get the proper authorizations and permits, and coordinate with the railroad. Their blocking a line like that without notifying the operating railroad puts them in serious legal jeopardy. Had there been a derailment, they would certainly have been liable for damages, and likely civil penalties. Had the railroad been involved, they would likely have had a representative present, and there would have been a speed restriction in that block, and close coordination. I'll bet a beer they decided "Oh well, the train won't be by here for hours, let's just go ahead and do it". I sincerely hope he had insurance, but somehow I doubt it.
