Great vid I spoke to an gentleman that used to work for the new York train museum and he stated that the 1899 piece is the latch door to a coal operated locomotive he's 90 percent sure but it's a great find and a great piece of history 💪🏻

The only other thing it could be is the cover door from a friction bearing bogie. Edit: One quick Google search later and I'm almost certain that's what that is.

You need to go back and fish on the other side of the first railroad bridge. That’s where Manitowoc cranes used to be as well as burger boat down there. I am sure metal ended up in the river from cranes. It is located on what they call the peninsula. And yes, the bridge has been rebuilt. That’s the 21st street bridge.

@harrisonlewis68535 ай бұрын
Tyler, look up on the internet and look at pictures of old railcar trucks. Not motor vehicles. Trucks are the name used to refer where the railroad car wheels were mounted. That door like plate came from a pocket cast into the journel part of the truck. Wheel and brass bearings were inside the pocket. The pocket then was stuffed with rags which had oil poured over them and situated so by gravity the oil would lubricate the bearings as the train car moved. The door plate was hinged and covered the pocket to keep dirt, grime, dust and small rocks from getting into that oil reserve and keeping the oil from lubricating the bearings. When the door plates fell off, car maintenance folk of the railroad maintenance department were to replace them. If not, on a timely basis, dirt would impede the oil and cause friction between the bearing and the rotating wheel and would become what railroaders call "a hot box". If it's not caught in time, long distance to travel that friction would heat the journal pocket up to visually a red hot sight and begin to melt the axle of the wheel and cause the car truck to come apart. Derailment certain at that point. Now, when cars( rail) were delivered to a classification yard, the railroad had "oil" men who's job was to walk between the tracks and lift the journal lids and relube the dried out rags with fresh liquid oil, often filling up the pocket almost to the brim and then closing the journal lid.. Relatch the journal lid with a basic friction clasp peice. The CNWCRR was a railroad system there in Wisconsin made up of the larger railroad ( CNW) Chicago &North Western and the much smaller regional railroad called the Central R.R. of Wisconsin. Some hump or classification yard was shared by both railroads. So to find a journal box lid is a rare railroad find indeed and one in remarkable condition is truly great. I would suspect that there are no more than 20 of those lids in existence now and a railroad museum may pay you for it. How much you say? Only a guess but I think it might sell for $75 to $200. Or keep it yourself because this is an item highly unique. Railroads didn't save things like that for future generations to marvel at. When a truck was considered too old for continued use, too worn out, then the scrapper got it.

12:30 Hi Matt! Bet you didn't know I'm a railfan too :P The official name for that is "tie plate." They spike them to the wooden ties under the rails to help keep the rail from chewing up the wood. The stamps on most of the railroad stuff are just foundry markings and/or part numbers, they don't hold huge significance.

The 1899 piece is definitely railroad related. I'm fairly certain the C&NW stands for the Chicago & North Western Railroad, which had a couple of rail lines in that part of Wisconsin. The railroad was in operation from 1859 to 1995 when it was bought out by the Union Pacific railroad.

That 1899 plate is a rail car journal box cover for the wheel friction bearings. The workers put grease and wadding in the journal box to keep the bearings lubricated.

The 'door' from 1899 is indeed from a railway, it's a journal box cover, it goes over the end of the axles, and keeps out dirt and dust, but you can swing it open to lubricate and inspect the bearing at the end of the axle.

Hey buddy! You've got a great find there @ 11:40. That my friend is an actual Rail hammer for driving in those spikes! Imagine 3 and 4 guys swinging at the same spike in perfect rhythm. You have to be good to hit that quarter size head with that silver dollar hammer! (My father in law retired as an officer for the UP. He did about every job there was and then spent 30 years running their truck shop. He was a master mechanic. Oh, and earlier in the video, the broken metal circle with bolt holes around it was part of a pipe flange. You threaded it onto the end of a (it looks like..) 6" pipe, and then you can bolt it to a pump, or a big tank, or something like... Whew! My typing finger is tired! FISH ON Amigo!

Wow! That C&NW RR piece looked like the Fire Door for a steam locomotive! C&NW = Chicago & North West (or North western) RR. That's areal collector's item! The hammer is likely a collector item too. It's designed to drive railroad spikes, while clearing the track next to them. Modern rails use automated machinery to do that job, but it all used to be manual work by "track gangs".
