  • This is from my grandfather filming, that's why it's not full screen
  • I'll tell you the guys that do that really have their stuff together man. It's very impressive
  • @cleenlivin
    The weight those two cranes are lifting is impressive. Cool to watch the repair crew do what they do. What's even more amazing is the way large railroads can totally rebuild a damaged locomotive like this. The facilities, skilled people, technical know-how and resources is impressive.

    I never in my life new how that was done. Very impressive to watch that. Wow.
  • @WeenyBeanyHere
    I'm surprised that flatcar can hold the weight of an entire locomotive! Cool stuff!

    A wonderful, professional men. 😊 Teamwork. Never seen so many parts on a small hydraulic crawler crane before. Retired Ironworker #25.

    I've watched the loading of locomotives like this one , very interesting and intense . Those contract employees earn every cent they get paid and more . Extremely dangerous work .
  • I would of thought the engine would of been to heavy for 2 crane crawlers...great work
  • @J3scribe
    Those Mantis RS 200 track cranes are absolute beasts.

    That was like a surgical operation by very well trained Doctors πŸ‘ That was the coolest πŸ‘€ Train video πŸ“Ή I have seen since the Big Boy 4014 Hit the rails in 2019! When my Engines fall off the Track, I just put em right back! But that's a story for a different day What matters is that everyone was ok.

    I've only seen one locomotive that couldn't be rebuilt. It had hit an 18 wheeler loaded with a large crane so hard that it bent the 4 inch thick steel frame.

    Awesome video!!! Coolest thing I've ever seen. Pretty Heavy Load.
  • With the setup on the line pull must be weak having that many parts in the blocks in order to pick it up. That's a crawlers weakness over the side! And why the operator on the right keeps looking back at the tracks behind him! There both maxed out.
  • Railfan, Cranemaster "Highlift" πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻!!! I like the premade cribbing to replace the drive trucks on the loco. Always prepared! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» Thanks!

    Im surprised NS has any engines left. Every time I check my PC or the news all I hear is another train NS wreck. Seems like their are more NS locos on the west coast then back here.

    Nice filming. Slow and easy. Eyes on deck hands ready for action. Good job. Later.

    Ive,seen heavier engines, on these type of cars. No trucks,making them lighter, but taller. Longer wheelbase, on the cars, make it, work. All about, center of gravity. Great video
