Schnabel CEBX 800 on a curve on the IHB. Awesome!! 

Phillip Mulligan that sound is the steel rails creaking under the weight

Thanks for watching! Ken

@tponn Your talk seems pretty cheap. I've been willing to pay double for some things, but too much of our North American manufacturing has fled. Some things just aren't obtainable anymore here unless you go for custom made.

More fun to watch than to do. When i was younger, worked for a boiler factory. Loaded four 550 ton steam drums onto rail cars. Said my prayers before and after those jobs.

Thanks Thomas. The workers were trying to keep people away from the inside curve of the track. Maybe they were worried the load might roll over?? Thanks for watching. Ken

Schnabel Car, it's called. A very impressive piece of equipment.

Yeah my thoughts also. Thought the train would have string lined going around the curve.

​@@chax2004 String lined?

Ikr it would take several heavy duty construction cranes to re rail this

SparkDalmatian haha it would

ha ha ha ha - good catch

Do we have vertical desalters? I came across two horizontal desalters in a Crude Distillation Unit. This equipment appears to be a distillation column, as it has a skirt with anchor chair. I may be completely wrong also.

StrongArmGuy I think the maximum operating speed when loaded is 15 mph and the maximum unloaded operating speed is 25 mph is what I read

AngrySlime11. Thank you. Why so slow unloaded?

+Mike Day sorry it is part of something else

It is the first module of the 2022 Moon Mission and is being shipped to a secret CIA warehouse under an abandoned K-Mart. It is being outfitted as a fracking crew quarters as they have found evidence of fossil fuels being stored in huge underground caverns. It was put there by Egyptian ancestors who used the same levitation mastery they pioneered with magic carpets to ship it there in giant (magic) lamps.

cerulean blue What the fuck did I just read

It’s not that heavy

They can go regular train speeds only when unloaded.

dollarsmakesense11 I read a maximum of 25 mph unloaded and 15 mph loaded

@AngrySlime11 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lqAMtAJbT2A.html 2:42 I think that this train is moving faster than 25 mph.

Each railroad has its own speed restrictions on specific cars as such. I can tell you this car is not allowed to go track speed on a mainline. It will have a speed restriction of some sort. Educated guess says 30mph empty and loaded would be much slower.

@@gethighonlife11 that's just a depressed center flat car, not a schnabel.

It's a Snaupple car with multiple railroad two axle trucks, suspended in such a way to spread the weight of the load as widely and evenly as possible on the track. This is a large load in physical size, but not nearly as heavy as some of the loads this car will be called on to handle. This is the type of freight car used to move nuclear reactor vessels or giant transformers for power plants. Those items can run close to half a million pounds apiece. This is probably 'only' in the 200K+ range.

Whoa....!! -this is extreme railroading!

@@cdjhyoung Schnabel Car, isn't it?

@@qwertyTRiG You are right ( and obviously, I can't spell very well...) We have a trucking company about 20 miles from here that runs over the road Schnabel trucks and trailers. That's just as fantastic as these rail cars.

@@cdjhyoung I've never seen them on the road (or on rail, except in videos). That must be cool. And I can't spell for toffee myself.

Where did it indicate Hooper owned the Caboose? It said Specialized Rail Transport on the side.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnabel_car

+ TheRantingCabby My guess is the hydraulic cylinders help adjust the height of the car, up or down, when approaching an obstacle, i.e. an overhead trestle, or a tunnel.

Only did it in HO; never in N scale...🤣😂😡🤬

the only thing is that those things have a safe speed of 15 mph no faster than that

Or any one of today’s diesels built in the last 25 years

@@ohboy3622 oh heck yeah

No it's not Canadian made

It just has the flag because CN and CP use it

U.P. railfan You stayed up until 2am to tell me that? lol. I was talking about the car load. Go back to bed.

@@caelanreeves9760 Made by Hooper Welding in Oakville , Ontario .

I believe it was restricted to 15mph

I'm guessing extra braking and weight distribution...

hifijohn Probably added for additional braking

@@jamessimms415 Also to spread the weight and side forces more evenly across the track structure.

If it is a tank ,it might not be that heavy but it is very big !! 😎😎🍺🍺

This tank is completely empty. It is in transit for installation somewhere. The speed reflects the difficulty of safely handling this big an object around a restricted radius curve.

Kyle Bell The Builders. Made in Canada By Hooper Welding. its a reactor vessel for Oil and Gas

And 25 sacks of mail

Actually 9.
