Well I guess I've jumped on the merch bandwagon. But unlike other offers, the merch I offer goes way beyond the hoody and features the image in the video. Please click the link to see what I have.

A great capture of loads very rarely seen outside a nuclear power plant's containment building! I worked at Diablo Canyon and witnessed the steam generator replacement projects about a dozen years ago. Our new S/Gs arrived by barge to the intake structure, and moved uphill to the plant on enormous lowboy trailers. The special cranes and rigging equipment for this project were themselves a sight to behold, giant red steel structures from (I recall) Mammoet in the Netherlands.

Wow...Devine Jct. a few years before I started hanging out there nearly every day. Liked and subscribed.

[@SAXTProductions]

thank you for the nice words. Before work and life got in the way I was Devine Jct and the Cayce yard every weekend. Now thanks to work I don't get out much. Though I'm hoping that might change soon.

Just yesterday (Dec 16. 2020) Kasgro was moving a GE turbine to somewhere in Ohio via CSX. Took video with my iPhone, but it is not of very high quality. Kasgro caboose KRL 078 in tow. Let me know if you would like me to send you the video and some still shots. I was in Brentwood, Tn, 14 miles south of Nashville.

Awesome video!

[@65gtotrips]

🔰 That is just waaaaay cool 😎

[@SAXTProductions]

thank you. You should seen my reaction when it rounded the curve.

[@Nareimooncatt]

I just want to make note of how it took almost 5 years for this video to start getting comments. Thank you, KZbin algorithms! Very good video as well.

[@SAXTProductions]

First, thank you for your kind words. I had the comments turned off as it was taking too long to remove all of the negative comments that were coming in. Again I thank you for watching.

[@Nareimooncatt]

@@SAXTProductions Shhh, just blame it on the algorithms, as seems to be the trend lately. Lol Also, people suck. :p

[@SAXTProductions]

@@Nareimooncatt That will be our secret (LOL). I totally agree with you.

[@bryanphelan1104]

BTW, enjoyed the video immensly. Same with your other video moving the steam generator from Korea to the defunct SC nuclear plant.

[@9bmichaelcn958]

Wow, Never thought that a wagon can be this big the length of the schnabel wagon is almost as long as the big boy

[@TonboIV]

The Big Boys aren't even close. They are 133 ft overall, whereas this Schnabel car itself is 232 ft unloaded. Loaded, it's 232 ft, plus the length of the load.

[@bullsboat1]

Big ole monster

[@SAXTProductions]

This was closet I have ever come to foaming. I now own two HO Scale models of this car.

[@geraldknapp4958]

Very cool

[@sp9392]

Cleared that overpass by inches.

[@marleneterry3456]

Your correct Eugene, these loads moves involved route survey, NS clearance department and many skilled operations personal. I was the car operator in the car 1, the trailing half. Enjoyed ever moment of the operation. Thanks Norfolk Southern, great group !

[@CENTEXRailProductions]

GOOD LORD!!! I'd either be late for work or calling in SICK for this one!! What did you use to video this? Must have been a huge file size.

[@SAXTProductions]

just a regular sony handy cam HDR-CX405. I was glad that I was off that day otherwise I would have called in sick.

[@CENTEXRailProductions]

@@SAXTProductions I need something better to get my videos. That way my mic can handle the sound. Especially of the train horns.

[@planeiron241]

Massive yep

[@SAXTProductions]

to bad its been scrapped

[@derrickwoodard461]

Mannn!....Curious For A Long Time On How These Schnabel Cars Work Other Than Hauling Extremely Large And Heavy Loads,.. I Know Going Around Tight Corners Like This One Is A Nightmare, I Was Wondering Does The Schnabel Car Assist In The Cornering On Tight Curves With Obstacles Like Signal Poles And Cross Bucks!

[@SAXTProductions]

yes the car can shift side to side and up and down. While the movement is too slow to see, when the car went under the bridge, it was set to its lowest possible state.

[@gogebicrails2479]

What a difference almost 25 years makes. I made a super 8 video of a steam generator rail move for Point Beach Nuclear Plant in 1996. No Schnabel, no yellow vests, a beat up GP15-1, an engineer, conductor, and a Westinghouse factory rep riding in a caboose. Train was clipping along about 30mph most of the way! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3qTdWaCn6x_r6M

[@TonboIV]

Well, all of those are all small enough to ride on normal flat cars. The reason you use a Schnabel is when you have something that's too big for even a flat car. The huge size is what makes this job such a production. They're also probably exceeding the loading gauge on width.

[@bobbydale1938]

Just let the air out of the wheels under the bridge

[@jodypearce9515]

A lot of these Schnabel car trains are slow hauls.

[@SAXTProductions]

all of them are due to their size and FRA regulations.

[@jodypearce9515]

@@SAXTProductions I often wonder what a Schnabel passenger car would look like.

[@SAXTProductions]

Jody Pearce one would never be built
