Those diesel engines weigh about 200 tons I believe. I guess quite a bit less with the traction motor units removed though.

Awesome catch Landon! I also caught NS 8025 on 13R @ Greencastle.

Is the 4540 an electric loc running on batteries?

Plenty of anoraks

Are they ever going to decide which flatbed

Damn, lifting 196 tonnes is crazy

Those cranes don’t look like they’re big enough to lift the weight of half of a locomotive. Pretty sure it weighs about 400 tons. That’s 200 tons each. They don’t even have much counter weight on them WOW !! 😳 Maybe it only weighs 250 tons I can’t remember but it’s a lot of weight on those two crawlers that is for sure

Hulchers r kick ass !!!!

Why not load the engine on a depressed flat?

Nice view!!

The old steam cranes would make these cranes look like kids in comparison.

Nice horn salute

Great heritage catch and nice video

This isn't nothing , God can move a mountain..

That man is walking between the lifted locomotive the crane and a backwards move train. Not a good place to be

Those 2 cranes are PURE GRUNT!!!

I never in my life new how that was done. Very impressive to watch that. Wow.

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.

0:30 awesome M3 air horn!

Must be a very sturdy flatbed

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.

I worked at progress rail in Muncie Indiana. There was a crane on a track high above everyone. They picked up the finished locomotives daily above our heads. It was impressive lol

Nice work.

Great video, amazing work to lift that engine

Very impressive!

Working on the railroad I will say NS has had of negative remarks and comments towards them… that wasn’t on them!

Nice catches got the same auto rack at Hummelstown last Saturday.

Hope they don't have to be anywhere to soon ...

Go look at some tri-rail

Tht was team work

That is the last time you would see 1705

American rail is so back

It's nice to see a video of a beautiful train in a beautiful train station in the United States.

Landon U never believe who I saw last week went by my house in Molino at 5:33 PM NS 7699 ES44DC was leading NS 93G The Geometry train or FRA Train whatever it was! I was so surprised about it!

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

Someone stole the horn off ns 8157. Wow 😳😳 what people do to get them.

I'm surprised that flatcar can hold the weight of an entire locomotive! Cool stuff!

Flats are 67 k tare? Hauling 250k plus plus....what is c...40......6 axle? Each?

Im sure they have lots of stuff leftover from conrail

Are they going to repair them or are they going to scrap them do you know

Good video but Fuck You Tube with all them Fucking commercials

Damn, you gotta make a mark on the ground to tell if those men are moving.

That crane is an absolute weapon! Loving those!

Imagine how embarrassed this Diesel is

The "Big Yellow 'Thing' ", is an Environmental Protection BOOM. It is full of special absorbent materials that soak up oil, fuel, and other contaminants. It is a work of art. It is certainly NOT a "Thing".

🫣😷🧐🤔😂🗣️📢💨💨💨🫏💨💨💨💨💨☝️💨💨"must be fun!; SITTING around all day with 🫏you FINGER! ☝️up your YAHOOE? ALL DAY! GETTING! PAID the BIG BUCK'S 🗿💰💰💰🐐🥸

Nice job, but they should free swing the cranes, they have some good side load on the booms.

Hey the p3 sounds good

Those Mantis RS 200 track cranes are absolute beasts.
