Hauling out 657 scrapers

[@milehidude]

That - Is - Awesome! The scale they do things in is truly impressive.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Awesome, how many flatbed trucks could be organized and awesome looooooooooooooong freight trains in the background!

[@peteacher52]

As usual, superb drone photography. Big long train inching down the hillside slope, the engineer hoping like hell that the brakes hold!

Once again drone video is the way to go, allowing views never seen before, great video well done

[@autotunejamaica1]

Taste train in the background is production value👏👌

west coast heavy haul luv it!

[@theDozerman88]

A job I have always wanted to do

[@christopherlovelock9104]

Excellent video, lovely to see, pity you couldn't have followed them even for a mile or two, even the slightest bend and they took up the whole of the road. Don't see anything like that in the UK, all jobs that needed scrapers like them are either finished, or the very few that are left never leave the site, - (1 or 2 in quarries), - and those are coming to the end of their working life.

[@ajadrew]

Great drone shots!

[@swn02]

cool vid, good to see the train in the back ground

[@ke6gwf]

Cajon Pass trains none the less! That's a highway realignment project on 138 about 2 miles East of i15. 34.3259177, -117.4521880

[@wendel4331]

Só tem vídeo legal, acho que esses screpers trabalharam naquela obra onde o asfalto é novo

[@patsellars5658]

Very impressive!

[@josesouzadeoliveira4275]

Very good I have neve see anything like it... I can see the train in the distance

[@dmcc4286]

Great videos man!!!!

[@grayswandir47]

Any idea what it costs to move these. What does the CHP charge for traffic control on a job like this? Anyone else notice the two trains in the background upper right at 1:37

[@4bfarmsllc262]

That is some big time mobilization!

[@formu1fan]

Is this the 138 job?

[@Alex-uy7pc]

it's amazing to me that all these vehicles are allowed to operate in California anymore.

[@cdnpont]

How did you get the sound? I swear I could hear gravel crackling under the tires of the truck and trailer as they swung out wide and off the road for a bit. And its amazing how quickly they can build speed for a run up the first hill. Excellent! Cheers!

[@jimjackson5836]

More up close push cat scraper videos please!!

[@copperheadmarine]

are you pulling a separate sound track?

[@jimsvideos7201]

It's striking seeing them next to their haul trucks, which look awfully small all of a sudden...

[@MatthewHoag77]

Looks are definitely deceiving, but the proportions can mess with ya.

[@theeasternfront6436]

657 is a BIG machine. Tires are about 6' tall.

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

I would think the weight of these heavy machines would damage the paved roads.

[@andywerner838]

Wow ...cool video

[@beetragg]

very cool!

[@nuclearbum9858]

im watching the train in the background too

[@SuggerBAC]

Freeways, Trains, Scrapers awesome video.

[@evadvalcourt]

Are you guys hiring !?

[@waynep343]

i wonder how close to the San Andreas fault zone that actually is.

[@cat637d]

My I ask what your camera platform is? The quality is EXCELLENT!

[@theirishman8356]

That sounds a lil overinflated. Maybe 60. 600 is a lot of scrapers to move. A LOTTTTT...

[@denniswicks7663]

657 is the model of the machine, not the number being moved!

[@crusader4507]

Is that Matovi Bros hauling?

[@91008357dw]

[@bradenwoods1111]

Epic!

Wow !!!!!!

GREAT video the coal train was nice to see to

[@calitrainman]

What coal train. I seen a double stack train

[@ke6gwf]

Cajon Pass goo.gl/maps/4EPVUWwBDA92

[@ke6gwf]

@@calitrainman there are at least 2 different trains in the video, one of which is a double stack container train, and the other looks like some sort of bulk material train with at least 2 different types of cars, and while I highly doubt it was coal it was hauling, being California and all lol, it may look similar to some types of coal trains elsewhere.

[@calitrainman]

@@ke6gwf They are both Double Stack trains. It's all good. Yes they run Coal trains in California

[@ke6gwf]

@@calitrainman no, they are NOT both double stack trains lol The second train on the lower track with the white cars has no double stacked containers on it. And while I know that there is still one coal fired cogen/power plant in California up near Death Valley, there is very little use of coal, and especially not in Southern California, where this train is coming from. So the chances that a load of coal is getting shipped into or out of the LA area is almost zilch, but they may be enclosed gondolas like coal is sometimes shipped in. But not double staked containers! I almost think it is automobile haulers, judging by how they seem to be in sets of 3, rather than all separate cars.

[@hansknutson2327]

that much weight must shorten the life of the transmission & rears of the truck .

[@robertpope9753]

Negative, that's why there are so many axles. The weight is spread across all the axles, none of them has more weight than that for which is rated. The transmission is rated for the torque of the truck engine.

[@asherdie]

@@robertpope9753 that's amazing!!! One can increase load without increasing wear on the driveline. Seems miraculous.

[@denniswicks7663]

@@robertpope9753 Nope. The number of axles is determined by the limits the state sets for axle loading. The equipment is capable of way more weight than it is carrying. It's called safety factor or over-delivering. Keeps the customer coming back and telling their friends!

[@denniswicks7663]

@@asherdie Driveline doesn't carry any weight. Long as you don't exceed max torque it is perfectly happy; 40T or 40,000T
