    Hilariously, I later discovered (after I was done editing) this video from Wabtec about the advantages of having rubber tires (it’s more than just being a hi-railer), and in the video they legit drew animations of the TrackMobile being obsolete. So, just more emphasis to the fact that the Shuttlewagon and the TrackMobile are NOT the same thing. 😂

    I’ve seen a TrackMobile move 10-14 tank cars. They really are:

    Love your content man. I’m lucky enough to actually operate these little things lol. The two I’ve run are the shuttle wagon commander and a railking rk330, which is another competitor in the market.
    The main big difference is that, at least between the rail king and the shuttle wagon, the railing lifts up on the coupler box hydraulically to gain some extra adhesion, since it weighs as much as a grape lol. The rail king is also powered primarily by its rail wheels, while the shuttle wagon uses its road wheels on the rail to gain traction. While the rail king can pull more than the shuttle wagon, the shuttle wagon is a lot more comfortable lol
    Keep up the awesome content🤟🤟🤟

    There is a shuttlewagon that switches this beef tallow plant in the old Chicago stockyards along this NS industrial lead. I have seen it pretty far outside of their property struggling to wrangle cuts of tank cars back into their yard. It will have the crossing gates activated sitting there slipping its wheels lol. Those crossing gates protect a 4 track mainline(maybe 3 and a yard lead) and the industry lead that branches off. You will think a train is coming, and its just the shuttlewagen struggling with 10 loaded cars lol .It has been doing it apparently successfully for atleast 15 years though. I once saw them drive it around the corner to a truck stop to fuel it up too lol
