Loading a Simpson RR Log Train - View from the 1200
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- On the Shelton waterfront A Simpson train is receiving bundles of logs from an overhead crane with a huge claw which grabs the loads out of the water and places them between the bunkers on the flat cars. In the bay two put-put tugs shunt the bundles apart from the raft and maneuver them to the crane. In the last scene our engine has moved up to the siding at the west end of town and joined up with the 1201's log train to help push it up the hill to the dry-sort yard at Dayton. Film shot Feb 15th, 2010.
Cool,just bought this log loader crane from Walthers, nice modeling vid.Good to see the colors to use to paint the crane.Thanks,interesting.
4:24 - "Just the good ole boys...YEEEEEHAH!"
Used to load 5,000 loads out of the bay per year and take 10 miles to the Dayton Sort Yard(mill 5)Glory days of logging
This is cool, i could watch them load the whole train.
i love trains and te sound they make as they go slowly over the tracks
Very cool
what a machine! great video!
Kansas city trains moving good tonight and the Canada cold trains are moving good
thanks for sharing this great video and others on simpon operations
i would only trust those rails on these docks as far as i can throw the loco driving on them. Them that looks scary. hope you have the door open all the time to get out
crew call about 6 AM, train schedules depend on tide tables, check in at dispatcher's shack when you visit.
0:14 WOW !! This is gonna be smokin !! 1:07 Yikes ! This looks flimsy and scary..But I know it's more solid below that it appears...3:37 Wow, we're goin to the end of the pier to cross over !!
Excellent stuff Joel. Captivating
That sure is a bumpy ride. Why can't the engineer just go around the potholes?
Man, another great video, Joel!
The smash board had already been smashed!
Had to climb to the top to fix the electrical. Was nasty up there from all of the sea gull shit!
looks like a fairly efficient operation
Nice video 5/5 Scary ride on that pier.
Cool stuff! Better make sure the brakes work before going out to the end of the pier though!
mafarnz there is a stop sign there.
I hear flat spots on the loco. I'd guess the sanders don't work. Cool operation, though. I always loved running a good pair of switch engines
y'all be crazy getting out on that shitty track like that
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
How often does the train operate there?
That's crazy!
나무를 바다물에서 건지는 것인가요? Do you take trees out of the sea water?
I hope you make good money. This is definitely scary when metal sits on wood. 😱
Is this rail service still being used today? Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it!
The line closed in 2015. Wikipedia says that it was leased to a museum in 2019 for running as a tourist line, so maybe that's still going.
That's awesome
Again, too bad that there wasn't narration to tell the story. It is important for people to be informed so that they understand the value and importance of logging for North America.
Those cars look only half loaded. Surely they can carry more weight than that.
Yeah, I noticed that... hopefully a motor didn't end up in the drink.
That's cool
Why did the engine go all the way to the end 1st?
Man next time I'll go talk to Dave... I guess I didn't realize the logs go both ways....
Hey Joel, where is the Shelton waterfront? and is the train and the crane still running as before back in 2010? nice video man, very nice.
The line closed in 2015.
When the logs are still in the water and ready for the crane to pick them up, what keeps them in a block instead of them spreading out ?
They are bound with cabling.
Thanks for a quick response. I was there yesterday looking for good spots to record the train. Is there a specific time of the day that the train normally runs?
I don't think I would take that train out on that pier. Looks sketchy af. On the otherhand I always kinda wonder how logs get loaded on a train. I guess this is at least one way of doing that. Also as a canadian i'm reminded of that song the "log divers waltz". Anybody ever hear of that?
Ottimo video
a daily operation monday - friday usually
What do you want to know on the boats? I know the people that run them
Nice....! Where....?
Одно неосторожное движение из серии " путаю педали" и локомотив станет подводной лодкой!)Какая страна,из описания через переводчик непонятно.Спасибо.
Do you have any information about this small green boat??
Gretings from Poland
It's called a boom boat. The prop is a big bladed one that spins 270° degrees underneath the captain. 400hp to 500hp
Yard man should be wearing a hard hat then again one of those logs hitting you would turn you into PULP !!!
nope, but I don't think anyone fessed up to it, ha!
What is that little boat that's wrangling logs called?
It's a "log bronc"
@@glennlockwood7608 Another comment calls it a boom boat, so I guess there's more than one name.
cheeze whizz they could put SOMETHING up on the right hand side just to give some sense of safety no matter how foolish it may be
Yeah this is ridiculously scary. I don't think I would go on that pier with a locomotive.
What difference would it make? If the loco topples (and locos don't topple anyway), a fence wouldn't stop it. The train is so close to the edge that nobody could walk alongside it, so a fence wouldn't protect anything.
Where TF are you in our great big world?
sketchy bridge
Especially that next piece...
hi
Nerve wracking 😫
