CSX L063 Delivers Nuclear Waste Cars to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on October 15th, 2024

[@paulbergen9114]

By far the best close-ups I've seen of those cars there just is no easy way to describe them. The BOS rail mover is something new having never seen anything this big. There are some shuttle wagons that come close but this thing actually reminds me of the body of a huge Oshkosh truck used in military firefighting or at a major airport. I'm glad you were able to catch such a rare shipment and thanks for sharing

[@trans-galactic-express]

@@paulbergen9114 Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed

[@dogyerf21]

it does! was just watching unimog and oshkosh vids too.

[@davidcurran3443]

The Navy is "refuelling" all active ships with new fuel rods that are good for 50 years at Portsmouth, Norfork VA and a base in Washington State. These trains will deliver new rods and and pick up used ones for the next few years.

[@trans-galactic-express]

@@davidcurran3443 good to know! Thanks for watching

Getting ready for WWIII...

It’s just in Virginia or New Hampshire

I was stationed at Pease Air Force Base, Portsmouth, NH, 1969 to 1974, so I have been to the Naval Shipyard, over towards Kittery, ME in those years. Thanks. 😅

[@RichardMitchell-ut1uc]

Nice catch of what i imagine is a pretty rare shunting vehicle

[@goodrails]

Very cool! Phenomenal catch! Glad i found this station. I'll be watching more.

[@dd.greenefilms2598]

A very,very interesting catch,I'd like to see this in action one day,Thanks for sharing this with the audience.

[@donaldfaris4798]

Interesting little critter from the navy

[@williamorton7600]

I don't think there's any fuel in those M130 cars...otherwise there'd be security at the back of the train. Very cool catch though.

[@trans-galactic-express]

You're right, these were empties. They will be loaded with spent fuel rods in the Shipyard.

[@hytorcdaved]

Correct. And when they get hauled out loaded they will have high level security!

[@Vtarngpb]

Good ol’ Pan Am Railways 🥲

[@anjuarunderwood6869]

Sweet awesome catch

[@moonspots01]

Really good! Very interesting!

[@raymondmartin6737]

I noticed the freight engines had Pan Am logos. 😊

[@trans-galactic-express]

@@raymondmartin6737 Indeed they were Pan Am engines. It’s only a matter of time before CSX replaces them

[@JOHNNYCARROLL-f9e]

son of a gun. I aint never seen such a thing.

[@theblckbird]

That horn sounds amazinh

[@JohnLange-ip6er]

Are the thin fins along the radius of the flasks to radiate heat from the tasty radioactive innards?

[@CrystalLakeEast]

believe it or not, the fins are structural in nature.

[@chickenwing111]

That Mexican place is not bad.

[@JM603]

Nice catch! DODX 38886 was last seen in Kittery in February 2024. DODX 38884 I have not seen before. Do you know when the two locos and the CH returned to Portsmouth? A few hours later?

[@trans-galactic-express]

@@JM603 Thanks! The rest of the consist went back across the bridge pretty shortly after dropping the cask cars.

[@JM603]

@@trans-galactic-express Thanks. Am sorry I missed it. Were there a lot of people out to see it?

[@trans-galactic-express]

@@JM603 There were a few, I only saw one or two guys with cameras.

@@El_Transportacoches_33 Safety!

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

@trans-galactic-express Yeah, I know It. But is very strange that European style hi-rail locotractors are beginning solding in USA.

[@kerwinnapoles435]

How many rods go into a ship and submarine !

[@steve87thpsap]

Sorry that is classified.

[@phloughtgnarpsehs7263]

Shame the Boss “driver” didn’t use proper crossing signals.

[@frgpilot]

How do they get the containers off the island where the yard is? I see 2 bridges but no rail tracks

[@CrystalLakeEast]

There is a sub level to the Walker St. bridge that is all rail.

[@miltonblack7563]

GOOD""$TUFF"""100%%%

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Did the voice at 5:45 really say, "Let me know, you've got six good toes."🤔❓

[@trans-galactic-express]

Certainly sounds like it 🤣

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

Now when the nuclear waste cars are full, with high level security attached to it, is when were waiting on some jack leg Darwin Award winner to decide to turn off the crossing down onto the tracks to hit the nuclear waste cars lol.

[@MrBudbubba]

What's up with the utility poles in the background at the beginning of the video?

[@scottfw7169]

Even with being grown then treated for use as utility poles, sometimes they warp over time. Probably is a result of repeated wet/dry and cold/warm cycles plus the stress forces on the pole. Missouri is a different latitude from New Hampshire but we have a few old wooden utility poles like that here in our town.

[@jeffreyc6508]

@6:29 was that a painted smiley face? If so who or how did someone get that close to put that on?

[@rearspeaker6364]

at 4:43, white device in coupler, a coupler spacer? and why is it being used?

[@trans-galactic-express]

No idea. They removed it before coupling onto the cars for the shove as can be seen at 6:44.

Idaho National Labs. That's where spent naval cores go for reprocessing.

With the number of people involved, you can sure tell it is a "GOVERMENT" job.

I love the horn on her 😍 🛤🚂🚃 my second time ever seeing nuclear cars in my life both times today.
