Wow. They must have strict weight laws there. Here in AB Canada we haul a 583K with the counter weight frame installed as well as the travelling block stays on the machine tucked in a cradle up front. We only pull off the extra weights and the stick obviously, as there too tall. Anyway cool video!

Aren't there handy fulcrums for moving those trucks around? Seeing those guys put their hands in that area with the springs while lowering the car down seems like a one-time learning experience. This coming from someone who personally watched a family member get too comfy with their heavy equipment and ended being able to only count to 7 by hand.

When the main line's tied up with a wreck, RR is losing a lot of money. Corman or Hulcher getting the job done fast is a money saver, and worth top dollar.

@stanpatterson5033 6 ай бұрын
Yeah, maybe.... but you, with your floor jack truck, might be able to bill them 75 bucks an hour for work, travel time, everything, and be lucky to get paid. These guys will be invoicing in a slightly higher bracket. Plus, they probably have insurance, in case anything untoward should happen. You know, the unexpected.... When the phone rings at RJ Corman, there's no job too small or big for them to ask for the co-ordinates, and start in motion toward those co-ordinates. Same with the guys at Hulcher. They are ready for anything, at any time, any weather, any conditions. I know where you're coming from, though. I was wondering myself why the RR didn't just pull out a few re-railers, and drag the one single thing back up onto the tracks. But, it's possible that someone foresaw an issue with a center pin. And if you don't keep a supply of center pins with you, chances are, you're not going to be righting any cars and then watching the railroad hook them back into a revenue train and hit the road.

@stanpatterson5033 6 ай бұрын
@@southsidetom Well, that's confidential information that would only be known between RJC and CSX. Your best bet might be to contact RJC, or Hulcher, and ask them what the rates are. I would imagine that every type of job has different prices, depending on how many workers will be involved, distance to be traveled, time spent on scene, parts required, etc. I don't even know if they could tell you all or any of that information. I'm guessing that they have contracts and prices with the big railroads that they service often. Infrequent calls from small businesses would probably be top dollar, and only after the big boys have been taken care of. But that's just a guess. Also, regarding my earlier reply.... have you ever heard of this thing called sarcasm ? It ties in with humor sometimes.

Usually you see these weights already on those machines. I had no idea they were separate attachments. You learn something new everyday......
@SteamCrane 5 ай бұрын
The D7 based 572's are light enough to keep the weights installed, but the D8 based 583's are too heavy to transport with the weights attached. Note that they didn't install the full set of weights for rerailing that light car, just a couple. You can see the unused weights at 2:31, with safety stripes on them. Sort of like ag tractor suitcase weights.

Probably true, guess they wanted a safety margin. Hit a soft spot and you might be glad it's there. Looks like the weight rack and just one layer of weight. Note that they didn't fully rig up the other 583, just enough to rig the one that did the lift.
