supports for jessup power plant generators

[@Trains21]

Man, I wish you around when I making this video.. I could've used all that good info!!

[@Alco244]

I was wondering what these were for the last week or so...

[@Trains21]

:-]

[@jasonplatco7881]

They don't appear to be over width but they are over length. Which is why there are empty flat cars in between the loaded ones.

[@Trains21]

Exactly

[@stephenroberts4895]

If you look carefully, the loads actually are a bit over length, hanging over the couples. Thus to keep from damaging each other the empty flats are put in as "buffers".

[@espeemike3698]

What and were is this commodity going?

[@rgsnidow1]

Appears to be bridge steel..

[@Trains21]

No.. Vertical beams of sort for a new power plant.. I've got a video coming up in the next couple of weeks explaining the whole operation.

[@mike92586]

Those cars look like the one that derailed near Scranton today.

[@Trains21]

Haven't been paying attention to today's events.. There was a de-railment near Scranton?.. What's the story?

[@brendaneckhart9376]

Trains21 I'm intrigued as well.

[@mike92586]

Trains21 a high and wide train derail near the university of Scranton with two trucks and one locomotive on the ground, no cars lost there loads. The locomotive was the Cnj 1554.

[@Trains21]

Oh, wow!! My friend told me about seeing something on Ridge Row.. He didn't know what it was though.. Now we know!.. Thanks for the intel

[@mike92586]

Trains21 I only found out about it from the steamtown facebook forum group

[@espeemike3698]

Got my answer!

[@delawarelackawannaproducti9696]

When will they be delivered ?

[@Trains21]

I'm not sure when.

[@RailPreserver2K]

Trains21 the cargo looks like bridge spans

[@Trains21]

Yes they do, but I believe that they stand vertically like pillars and/or vertical supports.

[@johndeere709]

someday i'm going to drive over and look at it

[@Trains21]

Prob tomorrow for me.

[@johndeere709]

Cool

[@johndeere709]

What was the 2nd engine on the 14r tonight? Anyone know?

[@Trains21]

#7333. One of the CITX leasers that NS bought.. Railfans call it and the other like it "Barney."

[@JTTheRailfan]

what where those?

[@Trains21]

Something for the power plant in Jessup.

[@locomotivetourist8777]

what do you guys suppose that could be?

[@Trains21]

Vertical supports for the power plant being built in Jessup.. Kinda like i-beams but much bigger.

[@bnsflogisticsinspectioncoo8081]

Those are HRSG units. Heat convection.

[@timothycarey7172]

turbines

[@Trains21]

Yeah, they're pretty easy to spot.
