Glad you enjoyed it! It was really neat to witness!

[@aljay834]

A shout out to Paul Hach of Hach Excavating and Demolition for making this happen. A mainstay of the PRRM and a true Railroad aficionado !!!!

[@RailfanAndrew]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

After the donation from CSX the boxcar was stored in Fairport at a railyard that had a NKP connection.

[@RailfanAndrew]

Gotcha, Thank you!

[@ohiotrains705]

Amazing quality! Perfection at its finest ✅✅

[@RailfanAndrew]

Thank you!

[@cleveshows]

Just or a mater of fact, CSX donated the box car directly to the Painesville Railroad Museum.

[@RailfanAndrew]

Thanks for the clarification! I appreciate it!

[@thedoctor2102]

“We have boxcar here you can have for free” Oh yeah and, we can’t allow you to transport it on CSX mainlines”.

[@northernohiorailfanningpro8899]

Damn andrew great coverage! I think your video is gonna be better than mine 😆

[@RailfanAndrew]

Thank you for your support!! Your videos always turn out amazing, Im sure it'll be great!

[@williamharris9273]

Nice video! I live across town, and had no idea that move happened! I would have liked to see the choreography to back the lowboy off N. State through the S-bend on Depot Street.

[@workinghardusa]

Cool video, well done!

[@DarkVoidIII]

Was there a reason CSX couldn't just temporarily set up a shoo-fly track and shunt it right to where it had to go? I don't quite get why CSX couldn't just drop it off right next to their own tracks.

[@RailfanAndrew]

The expense it would have cost the PRRM was definitely not worth it. The boxcar was already off of the tracks when it was donated to them. It makes sense to do it the way you said, but the price would have been extremely high.

@@RailfanAndrew which also explains why they didn't have the proper trailer with steerables to make those turns.

[@RodrigoSousaFerrovias]

Very interesting video my friend!

[@RailfanAndrew]

[@breadloaf337]

[@RailfanAndrew]

[@DJ-ob3mp]

[@mrfingerlakes8735]

Awesome video

[@RailfanAndrew]

Thanks!

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Seems like it would of been easier to paint off the bogies. More complete off I’m sure.

[@Jennifer-K5LA]

Ummm....shouldn't that box car be rolling across the top of that bridge right side up instead of rolling under it on its side 😂 . Very nice video! It's amazing how much work and skill goes into movements like this.

[@RailfanAndrew]

Haha thanks for watching!

[@frankj7064]

Neat but ... there are rail tracks right behind it. Why did they truck it?

[@RailfanAndrew]

The expense it would have cost the PRRM was definitely not worth it. The boxcar was already off of the tracks when it was donated to them. It makes sense to do it the way you said, but the price would have been extremely high. They would have had to construct an entire spur off of a mainline, too.

[@MilePost106]

I hope they repaint it back to the original.

[@jed-henrywitkowski6470]

Why didn't CSX allow their tracks to be used?

[@colinl9018]

And only 2 straps securing it to the trailer?

[@robertpalmer3166]

And several chains. Pay attention.

[@davidkean1487]

Should have donated it to a scrapyard!

[@trainman2k]

It looked like a bird landing on the boxcar before going under the bridge would have gotten compressed! Definitely NOT a DIY project!

[@RailfanAndrew]

Thanks for watching!

[@easterniowarailfan7168]

they couldve just moved it by rail...
