This is the manliest thing I’ve ever see...badass locos being hauled by even more badass trucks. Literally grew chest hairs during the course of this video.
I'm REALLY impressed at the turning radius of those trailers!! And especially the way the turning mechanism appears to be automated based on the hitch linkage between the truck and trailer. Clever design!!
Sorry we used to not f around when came to hauling. These days because of do gooders red tape. It'll take about 3 months advance notice they'll give, about 500 pagers off paper work, you'll have to do. If one thing is out off place on the day, they'll fine you plus make you go on, another day, costing 1000's of $$$. Because one page is not right. If your lucky they'll let you go but you'll still be paying some kind odd a fine. Back in the 70's 80's & too about 1992 it was easy no making around just make shore everything's ok, but not over done like today. Red tape has too go. Cost so much, people can't run a business

Thanks Matt Hayes.that's some awesome footage. Just last.night I saw a flatbed truck in Zepherhills Fl.(Tampa Bay Fl) hauling train wheels. I thought it was nice to see."If you love trains? you love this kind of video." I know my grandbabies love to see them whenever I share those trains with them.
Yes, but what you need to watch is when they lift one (not either of these two) off the trailer and set it on the ground and caboom one end gives and it falls and the other end falls.
We actually do carry locomotives around just not the full 200tons. The frame, trucks, engine and body parts are all separate loads on separate trucks. Trail king doesn't make a 200ton gvw truck trailer combination for us hwys.
@@countrygent4 They do. Due to some sections of the railway being Narrow Gauge & Some being standard guage, they are unable to haul locos to the Plibara. This is why TB Got the job.
Very amazing surprised I never saw this video before with all my train watching. Isnt it neat to think that either one of those train engines could have pulled every bit of that with probably next to no effort? Very awesome trucks working like a train to move a train.
trains are a little taller than trucks, for example, truck is 4 m and freight or passenger cars are 4,4 m. there's even bigger trains like bilevel 5 m and over wheel bilevel 6 m.
Matt Hayes you welcome.....this is why i would loved to work in transports on Australia,with these so awesome loads....man,how i wish....greetings,friend,and keep posting more awesome videos like you had been before.Greetings.
Music Universe yes sir it’s a serious truck. Running a fiat Alice tug boat engine with full inter axel wheel lock deployment. About 3,000 horsepower and a two speed auxiliary transmission with deep reduction and low hole. All wheel drive
Bullshit you're running a Fiat Alice engine. His spelling, not mine or anybody else for that matter. Well except for that idiot 9 car Cottrell, who comments the exact same bullshit. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣

i almost though this was a click bate but then 5 seconds into the vid i was like wow then the part when they finally had the two trucks pull the loco then i thought aw yea this is bad ass!
They like to move the big stuff in Australia. I saw about 3 of those huge Euclid trucks being moved there. They take the entire, as in from side to side, roadway, and they don't like to stop.
Facilities to repair, build, rebuild, paint, wash, look at and even scrap are strangely enough always located on a track. So this is indeed an odd site
i like the us made engine.but volvo scania is the king!high hp and torque at very low rpm with low fuel consumption...i drive 3 year inline 6 scania and volvo fh 13..very very strongest trucks...Yuxin Wang
I was thinking the exact same thing! It almost even looks like the road was built for oversize traffic because it seems like it's got an extra-wide center divide for what otherwise looks like an undivided road. :)
I have hauled many overweight and oversized loads but nothing even close to this. Much respect for the entire crew that it takes to move such massive machinery!
That was cool I thought I'd never see anything like that tractor trailers are pretty strong but I didn't know they can handle freight train Thanks for posting that I like trains.
That was excellent filming, really enjoyable, l am pretty sure those CF class locomotives were leased to one of the mining CO’s either BHP or Rio-Tinto from Chicago freight car leasing Australia (CFCLA)for use on their Infrastructure trains not actually hauling Iron ore, as the GE & EMD loco’s the miming CO’s use are far higher Horsepower units & are actually all built over in the USA and are shipped over to Port Hedland WA, & are also are all US specked & are much larger than the largest Australian main line units used in the mainlines due to the smaller loading gauge, l may be not entirely right & hope to be corrected.
Actually the AN-225 could accommodate one of these, pick it up in Newcastle where its built, then fly it accross to the pilb, however a runway suitable for it to land and drop it off might be difficult to find. Perhaps a large parachute drop? :-)
When I saw just one tractor pulling that locomotive, I thought I hope he doesn't have to go up any hills. It was moving pretty fast, even when coming around the corner.
Sorry if I sound like a dummy but is this in Australia, New Zealand or Scotland? I deeply appreciate your reply and keep up the good work on the Train Vids

@@MattHayesAU If that happens, I'm kinda hoping not too many women are watching.
Thanks for the video!

I am glad it was informative for you thanks for the feedback
Awesome!! If I was driving & saw this, I would have pulled over, jumped out & watched it go by until I could not see it anymore!
Awesome camera footage, just the right zoom everywhere, thank you
What a sight. Imagine seeing these two beauties cruising down the freeway.
Glad you liked it
God bless the Aussies... they do NOT fuck around when it comes to haulin'...

No music jus good deisel sound loved it ! 👍👍
Victor Jeffers yep I hate music on these type of videos
Those steerable trailers are slick as hell!
Good show. video sharp and clear. Thanks. (Mississippi, USA)
John Moore no problems
Been watching train videos for a while and these 2 have to be about the longest loco. I have seen.
No whacko music. Thank you!

That made my day seeing that ! As many semi-trailers are carried on American Railroads, it's about time we carried a locomotive.

Fuck the trucks
Jeff Herdzina this is in perth Australia
LIFE:"AINT NO TRUCK MOVING A TRAIN ,NO WAY ,NO HOW"
TUTT BRYANT:HOLD MY BEER
I've seen it all:
Trains hauling trucks.
Trucks hauling trains.
I am shocked they do not have tracts up to the factory and just drive they out of the factory.
@@countrygent4 They do. Due to some sections of the railway being Narrow Gauge & Some being standard guage, they are unable to haul locos to the Plibara. This is why TB Got the job.
@@tp2981b8 Oh, thanks for that. I wondered why.
I saw trucks hauling a space shuttle in Los Angeles...
Very amazing surprised I never saw this video before with all my train watching. Isnt it neat to think that either one of those train engines could have pulled every bit of that with probably next to no effort? Very awesome trucks working like a train to move a train.
A locomotive sure looks bigger when it's perched up on a truck. :D That's pretty awesome!
trains are a little taller than trucks, for example, truck is 4 m and freight or passenger cars are 4,4 m. there's even bigger trains like bilevel 5 m and over wheel bilevel 6 m.
Amazing assembly of power !
Its cool to see the tractors working together just like the loco engines do +)
@Jacqie Claggett In the USA, at least, the cab of a semi-truck is also called a tractor.
About the 4th time I've watched this , but have never got tired of real road transport , as I used to be a BDouble O/D !
Lovely.....awesome heavy haulage,lovely trucks....man,i LOVE AUSTRALIA with these heavy transports and powerful trucks
+nuno filipe Thanks for your comments
Matt Hayes you welcome.....this is why i would loved to work in transports on Australia,with these so awesome loads....man,how i wish....greetings,friend,and keep posting more awesome videos like you had been before.Greetings.
Man that Mack truck must be a special super heavy truck! That's amazing how powerful that truck is and how the tires can turn on that long trailer!

Beautiful looking locomotives!!! How the hell are there 13 dislikes?????
they are probably politicians that are against Eco friendly locos and hate them
Because there stinking diesels
333 dislikes at this writing. They're all ship dock workers, airline employees who thought it should be shipped some other way.
Most likely americans.
hey that ain't cool I like trains to and I'm American

That's Awesome 👍 now the train see how it feels to be stuck in traffic lol 😂😂
Oh, they do. I could tell you a few stories.
É fantástico o transporte dessas grandes locomotivas por esses brutoes 👍
i almost though this was a click bate but then 5 seconds into the vid i was like wow then the part when they finally had the two trucks pull the loco then i thought aw yea this is bad ass!
Apparently no undercrossings to worry about...doing a little tree trimming along the way.
Pretty cool work right there - especially when going up grade and having the other oversized load pass going the other way.
Very excellent way to organize the transportation of heavy equipment and the safety system is very very very beautiful
منصور ال ضيف 👍
Brilliant video, thank you for sharing.
NASA 1 no problems enjoy
Worth the time too watch awesome video never seen this before
Philip Farrell glad you liked it
Truck AND railfanning at the same time lol
isnt the semi soposd to be on a flatcar being puled by the loco thats how i loaded my m1 577 at the rail head at ft hood in 1983
thats a big ass engine.
So 2 trucks to haul 1 engine. Damn.
For the love of engineering...wow!
very Impressive our Aussie friends!
Oh wow, beautiful locomotives. Nice catch :-)
Coolest thing I've seen today.
I drove Mack truck few years hauling steel .Never any problems .Now I have Volvo nothing but problems
They like to move the big stuff in Australia. I saw about 3 of those huge Euclid trucks being moved there. They take the entire, as in from side to side, roadway, and they don't like to stop.
I read somewhere that moving trains by track works, too
As long as there's track there.
You jack ass...
A train can't move without trucks. True.
Facilities to repair, build, rebuild, paint, wash, look at and even scrap are strangely enough always located on a track. So this is indeed an odd site
Why hassle with tracks when you can put them on a truck?
Ahh.the sweet sound of a Volvo D16 motor coming from the Mack.
+Yuxin Wang the first mack titan with cummins isx 15...second with volvo d16 eng......
Nice..I like both.
Which do you prefer..?
i like the us made engine.but volvo scania is the king!high hp and torque at very low rpm with low fuel consumption...i drive 3 year inline 6 scania and volvo fh 13..very very strongest trucks...Yuxin Wang
Good luck friend..!
I drove Scania many years mainly V8's though.
Scania the world's best.
yes the little 11705 scania eng also very strong...Yuxin Wang
Great motor in that truck, it pulls like a train..!😉
Genesis rain it sure does 👍
Damm those Mack's are some gorgeous trucks ,
Awesome trucking training. Crikey!
Spooling hundred fifty Thousand, rpm... Incredible!
Mack trucks , baby !! on the hustle !
Acho simplesmente fantástico esses robustos caminhões transportando peso superior a eles. 👍🙌
👍🏻
Muy buena la logistica para transportar estas máquinas
Helluva way to run a railroad.
5:25 - Oversize coming up, oversize going down. Isn't there any "normal" size traffic on your roads? ;-))
AAAyyyGGG sometimes :-)
Took it right offa me tongue, buddy! They must be using 25 tonn 18wheelers for weekend shopping at this rate.
I was thinking the exact same thing! It almost even looks like the road was built for oversize traffic because it seems like it's got an extra-wide center divide for what otherwise looks like an undivided road. :)
@@jayswarrow1196 I just use mine for the missus's shopping trips. The insurance is a killer though....
Never seen that locomotive before.
Also, I feel empathy for those semis.
Wow, Never seen that before with that big of a locomotive. I have seen one smaller.
Great video. The icing on the cake would have been if the weight had been included.
GE ES44 locomotives built for US railroads can weigh up to 432,000 lbs
Didn't miss a shift, nice!
Radical! Never saw anything like it.
Im having a nice relaxing dri- Holy shiz its a train!!!
I have hauled many overweight and oversized loads but nothing even close to this.
Much respect for the entire crew that it takes to move such massive machinery!
Thanks for watching and ur kind words
Thanks for sharing bro !!!
NICE! VERY GOOD!!!! THANKS.
Yup. Very.
Coolest thing that I watched today
trainboy647 👍
Amazing... those locomotives weigh 200 tons each.
WOW! 76 wheels on that thing!
not sure if i'm right i counted 112 wheel on the trailer
Great video: Impressive machinery!!
+James Campbell Thanks for your comments
Tanks for not playing some crappy music also.
I hate that also :-)
James Campbell .
Unusual, normally they take the bogies off the locos when they transport them.
Kicking ass! Fantastic video!

Edward Wright thanks for your comments
@@MattHayesAU Yes sir no problem I was really into that man! I even ignored a couple phone calls lol!😁
The massive wide roads make it a dream job. over here in the uk everything is so very tight.
ROAD TRAIN!!!!!
Talk about a ROAD TRAIN, HOLY MACKEREL
AWESOME!!!! ALL I GOT TO SAY!
Australia is awesome in the transportation sector.
Would have been interesting to watch them load the engines on the trailers.
Robert McDonnold from a different job have a look here mattau.smugmug.com/HH/Gemco-Locomotive-Relocation
IMPRESSIVE!!!!
Great video.
If I had not seen this video, I would not have believed it....Whoa!
I’m glad you liked it
The truckie wouldn't want to take a corner too fast!!!!! Wondering if he's #hitting himself or totally and calmly in control?????
Awesome!
Very nice 👍
Great video. It's a shame to see so many cars overtake on the double white lines.
The police would have given them the go-ahead to pass under those circumstances.
@@Geebax2 I wouldn't follow that shit either..

James Govett appreciate the info many thanks
Why didn't they just ship them by air?.......(Just kidding...)....This isn't something anyone would see too often, no matter where on earth you are!
Perhaps a UFO could move these by air, but any craft manmade....don't think so!
Actually the AN-225 could accommodate one of these, pick it up in Newcastle where its built, then fly it accross to the pilb, however a runway suitable for it to land and drop it off might be difficult to find. Perhaps a large parachute drop? :-)
Western Australia
Surprised they didnt have two extra trucks for each one. One pulling, and one pushing. But i guess just that one in the front was all they needed.
So cool!!
Dianna Ralston thanks
Hats off to the cameraman.
Que cninjones estos amijos 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Jesus Morales 👌👍
Now this really is a road train or road loco
Both
The second locomotive was pulled thru a lot of tree limbs.
When I saw just one tractor pulling that locomotive, I thought I hope he doesn't have to go up any hills. It was moving pretty fast, even when coming around the corner.
swmovan it’s the express train lol
I guess this would be a true truck train.
CF4409 ( the train in question) is now owned by Aurizon and is used for coal haulage in NSW, alongside their fleet of 60x0 series units.
Many thanks for that great info they get around
some bad-ass Mack trucks!!
You guys rock on
Gives new meaning to Road Rail.

nice but i think the trolley is also active like the truck
