At 26:37 bhp train with near 700 cars is impressive . Andrew Forest has a electric train that uses the weight of load to recharge it's batteries on a slight decline 400km into port then depleting batteries returning empty cars requiring no extra charges then load and repeat . True free energy

[@AAAA35345]

No such thing as free energy

[@LakinMoser]

​@@AAAA35345 No free energy, but this is work that requires negative energy to perform, so with the right technology it doesn't require any human-produced energy inputs. It's a very specific transportation use case that isn't broadly applicable

Howard Hughes inherited from his father and uncle, a business which developed, first, the rotating , triple head rock drill that revolutionised water, gas, and oil recovery. They leased them and further developed that. When he flew around the world he flew into the USSR without permission. He was worth more than that entire country.

@Ver Pacas, the main title that is advertised on the site (You Tube) that I was introduced to, spoke of large/long trains.... So there it is, something for all interests.... But this documentary program definitely delivered what it promised, large things that move objects.... One thing that was here, but probably should have been featured on an automotive program, is the Mercedes Sprinter van... My guess is the producers of this documentary gave MB a plug, because maybe they provided healthy funding for this program... That's fine.... That is how it is able to be shown for no charge.... But over-all, this was an intensely interesting program that gave some really cool footage and narration...👍

In 1996 I rode on an Amtrak train from Tampa, FL to Allentown, PA and back. The ride to Allentown was very nice and uneventful, but as my mother and I were traveling back to Tampa (while we were eating dinner in the dining car) our train was forced to lock up the brakes due to a father and his young daughter fishing off of a very small train bridge that was about 5' tall and 10' long with signs everywhere that said no trespassing, but the father chose to risk multiple people's lives to fish off of it and we had to evacuate the train because the crew feared that the rear cars had derailed. I don't honestly remember where that was, but I remember the police showing up and questioning everyone who was around at the time. My mom has always been afraid of heights, that's why we took the train...good choice Mom! 🤣🤣🤣

I saw a video about a land train sometime that failed. It's interesting that the mining companies only use road trains that are about 10 meters longer. I guess the legal limit is kinda close to the practical limit.

[@michaelmartinez1345]

@Anthony Pearce, yes there are definitely limits to length and weights to 'Road Trains' as they are called here.... Those limits vary between areas they are expected to operate.... Even in certain private properties, like mines, there are limits how large & heavy that equipment can be... In the U.S. , the MSHA will designate what those limits are.... Just saying, not all places can accommodate equipment of this size & weight.... It is very specific of where this type of equipment can operate, except maybe, for the MB 'Sprinter' vans that were mentioned here....
