How Strong is the COG Railroad

[@paulnelson2362]

The teeth are probably work hardened after many years of pressure from the train. That's a lot of weight on the teeth year after year.

[@chris993361]

I was having a similar thought. Hardening up on the teeth versus the base from years of stress.

[@jeremymcadam7400]

Not denser, but work hardened

[@chris993361]

@@jeremymcadam7400 I was going to use the term work hardened in my response but I honestly couldn't remember if steel could be work hardened. I know things like copper can be.

[@paulnelson2362]

@jeremymcadam7400 your terminology is the proper term. For some reason, I was drawing a blank at the time. Thanks for the reminder, I'll just call it a grey moment.😆😆

[@blargblarghonk]

I was about to comment this. My bet is if you rockwell test it the teeth are at least 5 numbers higher than the base track. The shear wear marks on that track are crazy.

[@DozerMunitions]

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad you liked the FN M2AP! Keep up the great work guys!

[@elijes]

Cog and rack teeth are typically hardened. The lower portion most likely not.

[@donwyoming1936]

The faster the rifling twist, the deeper AP will penetrate in steel. For the 5.56, the 1-7 M16A2 will penetrate deeper than the 1-12 M16A1 using the same ammo.

Just left Paul Harrells most recent video to watch this then I’ll go back. Keep up the good content guys and as always stay safe. I’ve never even heard of a cog railroad so you taught me something today.

[@Assdafflabaff]

Kind of weird to refer to it as Paul's video when he's dead. Yeah it's on his channel, but that's Roy Harrell's video. Show a bit of respect to the man. I'm being nit picky and annoying but that's par for the course on the internet.

[@rodvickery9169]

Great to see you rascals back on youtube with another crazy video.

[@bigbsparky]

The ex and I were on the 1st ride of one of the trains, and it got stuck half way up. The other had to be emptied, then sent up to get us, then back down. We never made it to the top. They shut it down again for the rest of the day. There was a fire in another state at the time that had smoked up the lower atmosphere, and we were told that we didn't miss any views by others that had made it. They said there was a lot of construction at the top too that kinda spoiled it.

[@jonkirk1309]

Great shots BTW.

[@DS-gd1xw]

Your chronograph velocities are most likely incorrect on a few of those shots

[@CrackerZack73]

Resident of NH here, Mt.Washington in NH, had the first mountain cog railway opening in 1868. Mt.Washington also has the highest wind speed recorded on earth! (Not in a hurricane or tornado) at 231mph

[@eugeneallshouse5884]

Great video guys...I learned something new today about the cog railroad...great shooting..

[@szszpeti]

Great content, thank you!

[@The_RC_Guru]

This is a fantastic example of work hardening steel from use. Wow.

[@sheldonhudson6130]

It may have been said somewhere in the comments, but some of the force is being used to push the rail instead of penetating the rail since it is able to slide. If the rail was secured to the table, the results may be slightly different.

[@dhooter]

I shot some modern rails the other day. It’s used to hold the targets up. 300Rum 225 ELDM didn’t even dent it lol. Sounds like a quarter stick going off

[@bassambouhamad7935]

I enjoyed that thank you very much. Love you guys.❤❤❤❤

[@BigHesh81]

For the folks mentioning the audio issue, methinks you have one of your audio cables messed up more likely than your camera having an issue. If you use anything that has RCA cables or any other cables that have individual left & right audio wires/cables, you likely have them reversed, so when the mic records something on the left hand side of the screen it plays through the right speaker. Alternatively, if you can't figure it out, most editing software can reverse your audio channels to move them to the correct sides in each one. While this sounds like a real nitpick, it is surprisingly distracting. It could even be that the mic just needs to be rotated to a different orientation, depending on the microphone you are using.

[@chris993361]

[@garymessina1609]

Awesome shooting Justin great video thanks Chris

[@raystevens1458]

On the last shot with the '06, check the top of the cog, to me it had a slight arch to it where the rest are flat. The first shot was lower into the body of the steel and the other 3 were in the cog itself, just a thought to why the back isn't bulged and the steel was not anchored down, could loose some energy that way, but still a great experiment.

[@ericharris5299]

Justin's got that eagle eye on him

[@shawnclement8394]

It would be interesting if y'all could do some test with the 5.45 and all the different armor piercing rounds , red band, black band, purple band, black tip, and there's a green tip round tracer

[@johnsweeney4257]

Mt Washington, NH is home to the first cog railway... and some horrendous weather.

[@LaidBackSkiesFPV]

Its called Mt. Washington and its in NH. I live next to it.

[@Xcaliber3636]

I'm going with the teeth are tempered and not the spine which would explain the Bulge

[@nonimport-ante]

the fast rounds are ejecting mass while the slower round just pushed so slower round has more bulge.

[@slightenigma]

What no party popping rounds?

[@Alf-vt7yu]

Its worth asking how the rail was cut at both ends. The heat would likely erase the hardness for those two end hits

[@RoadTo2046]

Been years since I've been to pikes peak. i need to go back.

[@KS-hj6xn]

Great job shooting and filming. All the bullets had some heavy duty hits on that chunk of rail. 😎👌 You can see a slight bulge on the 3006. It looks like it expended its energy pressing out the top of the rail. Very impressive results.. Please use a sandbag wall. Next time. Lol

[@jasonretterer9731]

[@elizandrofiori973]

❤❤❤❤❤Show us the projectiles in close-up. This way we will know which ones were fired.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PDYALL]

Yea like the regular rail only the top ball section is hardened like the cogs are the only hardened pieces the mid and base aren’t hardened

[@johsor1984]

Maybe the teeth were tempered over the years by repeated friction from the train/cog. Some of those trains are miles long.

[@johnboi8346]

The metal is probably softer on the ends from the heat after getting cut maybe?

[@b0rd3n]

That'll make a great coat rack for the bunker!

[@AlphonseCapone-q6o]

Great shooting Justin 🙄 lol guys be safe again thanks for the great videos

[@brandonnovotny1143]

I wonder if there is a differential heat treat where the teeth are harder than the track. Might explain the 556 going deeper.

[@hiderbear20]

Awesome video as usual!! Lol You guys should see if a tightly packed bail of hay would stop bullets. Lol

[@doralmccart8636]

I suspect that the teeth are hardened and the base is not. Hit it with a grinder and I but the teeth throw fuzzy sparks and the base is normal sparks.

[@airair862]

Крисс & Джастин 👏💯.

[@B4Ctom1]

I think the 5.56 AP chronograph speed was an error.

[@b0rd3n]

theres a huge difference between the work hardened part (top) of the rail and the support material on the bottom. Might very weĺl be why that .223 round left such a bulge behind the softer part of the rail (in my opinion anyways)

[@b0rd3n]

had not read comments before posting but it seems to confirm my opinion

[@pymsapero7644]

Nice piece of rail and nice holes! That gave me an idea for you, for a future "fun" video perhaps? Targeting fireworks cakes with incendiary ammo! And now that I thought about it, it really piques my curiosity!!! 😝

[@StanleyJurick]

I absolutely love you guys videos! I'm subscribed to quite a few gun tubers and I definitely think you're one of the best I just have a question though. What's up with all the praise for Justin's shooting? It even happens when the shots are not all that great. Not complaining just curious I've been thinking about it for quite a while

[@mattus1gig]

I was going to say the tips were hardened 👍

[@Stutters_McGee]

Should try it with frozen peanut butter. Very exciting.

[@randywollin5732]

It's not uncommon to harden just part of a metal part. We did that at John Deere when I worked there on the crank shafts. Just about all car engines have that sort of thing in them, at least up until the 2000s. That's when I left the engine building industry. Nice video, but you should have held to rail in place so that none of the energy would get lost to movement. I'd like to see what that last shot would do on the tooth of the rail.

[@justplinkin4809]

Here’s a question: since you have a piece of this cog thing, it obviously breaks, so how can this be safe?

[@floorpizza8074]

It didn't break, it was replaced BEFORE it broke. That's how you keep something like a cog railway safe... by replacing components before they break. It also has two cog tracks, in case one of them does have a failure.

[@davidflanagan1653]

The steel is probably more work hardened closer to the teeth on the rail

[@MATPOCKuH]

You have a wrong audio channels in a video beginning - left and right channels should be changed :)
