Where’s the counterweight on the crane? That’s a hell of a loading on the slew ring!!
@disturbedone5009 its suspected
We used to have steam crane’s years ago on the railroads they were rated for lifting 250 tons. Then the steam crane’s were converted to Diesel power. The crane operators hated the Diesel crane’s . Then the Railroads started hiring outside crews to clean up train wrecks and all the old crane’s were scrapped…
So did the tracks role out of gauge or what?
What? In laramie? I thought the big boys could come down here they need to fix that!
I am both a steam loco fan–and a licensed crane operator. That is one serious wrecker crane. I sure would like to get my hands on those controls.
never knew it was in primer till i read comments and checked and it did have primer!
How about using some proper OSHA crane signals?
I’d liked to have seen the block on that crane. Looked to be a 10 part line.
That’s the Challenger of the crane world! Awesome video. Quite an event.
this kind of crane truck can run also on the rail tracks? when you zoomed in i saw small wheels that look like rail wheel,a couple in the middle and one on the rear of the crane
@mbtech2003 No, Its Too Long.
too heavy for tracks??
When did this happen?
Cause?
Wish you had zoomed in and had shown the derailed wheels.
Also, close-in on the crane action.
We don’t need to continue viewing the whole scene.
Oh, you zoomed in. Great!
Get out of the way, John.
Well done!
Time compression appreciated.
Surprised those two cables could safely lift that load.
“Center pin”? Protrudes from the car frame to the truck assembly?
How long did they take for the whole process?
Thank you for your excellent videos.
Nice video Skip I never caught this one from you. Just saw both of the stuff featured here in Cheyenne this afternoon.
Great…
Awesome Video!
I was thinking of the fuel carriers for the UP’s “Big Blow” gas turbine locomotives, like “X-18″ at the Illinois Railroad Museum. I do know that some of the liquid fuel tenders these locomotives pilled behind them were converted into water tenders, and are used with UP’s 3985, and 844. Sorry for the confusion.
union pacific 814s original tender, yes the 814 that still exists
Was that water tender a former fuel oil car for the Union Pacific’s “Big Blow” gas turbine locomotive?
The car that derailed was a water tender.
its full of water
The water tender isn’t a centipede tender…
The wye hadnt been used in a few years and the track had an issue with the load
I take these don’t have very good articualtion when it comes to curves
