Rumor has it, the new Nuclear Security Caboose has a soft serve machine in the galley.
-
Another one that might be interesting for a future video: the specialized carriers that BNSF uses to haul Boeing 737 fuselages from Wichita Kansas to the 737 assembly plant in Renton WA. Used to see these somewhat regularly when I lived in Everett.

Great Job with Part 2. It’s safe to say that the majority of your Viewers have never seen or ever heard of these cars unless they’re Huge Railfans. Thanks! 👍🙏
-
Well done on these videos! If you ever decide to make a part 3, then I recommend looking at the specialized caboose used by the original Auto-Train which was 75% car carrier and 25% caboose!

The Dynamometer coach at the 6:08 mark is the one that recorded Mallard's run at 126mph. It was originally built for the North Eastern Railway in 1906 at Darlington and retired in 1954 and preserved. Dynamometer coaches had to be turned at the end of each run as the equipment could only record in that direction, something that computers don't need.

Absolutely fascinating! A lot packaged into 10 minutes. My compliments sir. Subscribing to your channel was one of my best choices in months.

If you ever do obscure locomotives, look into Haysi #1! A F7B given a little cab and turned into a switcher! Also Alaska Railroad 751, a one of a kind DMU!

AY, IT'S NILE RED!! At 2:48!!😁 That's a cool shoutout man. ^w
-
really appreciate these. Can't wait for part 3! Don't think i've ever seen any of these, but i'll definitely keep an eye out.

I'm not sure if you've talked about it yet, but the Whopper Hopper actually has competition, the Big John Grain Hoppers are about as big as the Whopper Hopper, and even made a rail ferry company sue the Southern over how massive they where, as far as I'm aware, a few are still in service, with one preserved alongside the Whopper Hopper

Nice video! Loved hearing about the bromine tanker
-
Great video. Really looking forward to seeing part 3!
-
nice to see a Ferromex locomotive in the video, it was a pleasant surprise
-
This was a pretty good video! Part 3 Gang: | | \/
-
Definitely one of the more educational, not to mention interesting as well, videos that I have seen recently. Thanks a ton ! James.
-
Thanks for part two can’t wait for part three love all the different cars and their overview and what they are and carry.
-
Now you need to make Part 3 that includes the DOTX Geometry boxcar! Also great job on this video, I enjoyed it
-
The Whopper Hopper wasn't always in Spencer. It use to be in Rocky Mount NC. I actually caught it when CSX moved it.
-
Cant wait for a part 3! If you got things in mind! Keep it up!

I'd love to see the cars used to transport ballistic missiles on navy bases, when I was a kid on Navy Base Bangor WA, I saw two of them sitting on the siding by our gas station, I'll never forget the huge white tubes with giant lettering say, "DO NOT HUMP, MISSILE ON BOARD", on the side. I imagine that specific car you'd probably only VERY rarely see, outside of the bases at Bangor and King's Bay, but dang if they aren't both obscure and interesting!
