and that fellas, is how you remove the trucks for cleaning and lube
I guess it’s doable all right, using your fuel tank tin foil trick?So Rick, are you going to model that one for me???? hehe
Booooooo! lolYikes!
Is that one of the new cars by Caterpillar?
(get it? get it?)
...
The reason the trucks are not hanging from hopper but are on the rails and ground is the car body's shear weight, empty or laden, keeps them under it. ...
Not trying to "one up", but this was caused when the row of tanks were left without enough clearance from the passing track's switch and got clipped by an incoming train (Gas Local in Missoula yard MT)
The train runs twice daily between Thompson Falls and Missoula delivering all types of fuel from the end of the pipeline from I believe, Alaska. The pipeline was refused permission to extend further by the traditional owners of the land it would then cross to go further. I've often wondered myself about what they do to clean the empties, as they would really be 'bombs' with just fumes in them.Wow - that many laid on their side If that's gasoline on the ground, with those guys working that close - one spark.
But I would think, they neutralized the gas.
Would be a bit more than just coupler clank, for sure.Bet that made a bit of noise.
