Railcar wheel change out, another INSANE repair.

This video was recorded with permission from General Car Foreman Wayne Warrham (decent man, God rest his soul) just prior to three of this crew retiring, Me included.
Do you even lift bro ? Another insane repair, like going to Disneyland every day. Roasting in the heat on a hot summer day it's not uncommon to knock a dozen or more of these repairs off in a shift, put your equipment away and get all the billing and paper work done. First you get good, then you get gooder ;P

8 years as a CN car mechanic. Was an awesome job untill CN went downhill. But I loved wheel gangs. Think my best was 19 wheels changed out on 8 hour shift. Great video

Thanks for sharing this. Never seen or knew that this was done to replace a wheel set. Pretty interesting operation

Absolutely awsome! I work in construction. Build hospitals for a living and can truly appreciate the the skill it takes to lift something so heavy! Lord an air hose bust! I take it from aaaaa's somewhere in Canada. Love the way your communication with your crew! Makes all different in the world.! Be safe keep those videos coming. God bless!

Another great video for a guy asked by Tropicana to apply for Railcar Mechanic job there. After watching, so far, 2 of your vids i really hope to get on there. Thanks for a bit of an education on it. Hoping you have more 😃👍👌

You guys should come up with a guide rail to get the jack across the track just a little easier. Like you said "it could be raining" lol.

Surprised that tiny motor pushes enough air to lift the car....

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

It’s all hydraulic pressure
