Thank you for watching! I thought so as well!

In the midwest, roads call that (flat with the ramp) a scorpion car.

[@CommonwealthRail]

Interesting… I was trying to find an official name for the car, but didn’t have any luck besides it just being a “ramp”, so that’s what I stuck with! Thanks for watching!

[@Messicrafter]

We call them Scorpion Cars here at CSX too

[@CommonwealthRail]

@Messicrafter Thanks for the info!!

Pretty awesome footage man! I've never seen how they unload these before this video! Hello from Daytona Florida...

[@CommonwealthRail]

Hello! I had never seen it until this day when I happened to get lucky! Thanks for watching!

[@joebidenbites1015]

thanks and yes I always wondered. i watch railman videos and always have questions. didn't know there were so many MOW machines!!! I worked over a summer for ConRail in the 70s and remember as a maintenance worker, getting rides on the MOW machines to work on the rail down the line. Looks like workers get shuttled to the site now. Someone probably fell off and things changed.

[@CommonwealthRail]

Yes, the workers stay in a hotel nearby and are taken by bus to the unloading/work site, in this case, Brunswick, MD!!

50m+ just in flashing lights!

[@EL-sp5zi]

I agree, great video...good thinking.

[@CommonwealthRail]

Thanks for watching!

[@intimidate2161]

I wondered how that was done to. Thanks for the video.

[@CommonwealthRail]

Me as well! Just happened to get lucky enough back in 2023 to see it happen!

[@workinghardusa]

Great video well done!

[@CommonwealthRail]

Thank you for watching!!

[@mikeorahood9867]

I guess the order they are hauled is the order their working operation is

[@CommonwealthRail]

Thats what I a thinking… although in this video some had to change order to get into the right position

[@swamprat69er]

Former CP Rail man here, I found that very interesting. I did NOT work for the MOW.

[@CommonwealthRail]

I did as well! Thanks for joining me! If you don’t mind me asking, what position did you work as?
