What Is Happening At The Train Station?! Railroad Wye, Train With DPU, Local Switching Freight Train

[@glens2036]

That's funny, a sign that says "WHY" LOL

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thanks for going back to the Hamilton, Ohio railroad station on 23 August 2022 to document these trains and the station. The engineer on the first train gave you a horn salute and a quick wave. That was a surprise to see the train on the Indianapolis Subdivision. The auto rack train was long. Thank you for the tour around the Hamilton train station. They are going to have to do a lot of fix up work on the depot after they move it. I am wondering how they are going to move that building.

[@annewhitney8809]

Thanks for explaining that those odd looking cars are for steel. The dumpster is covered and the necessity for hazmat suits is indicative that they were removing something icky. Great that they are preserving this piece of history.

Here comes that Hunter Harrison Special!!! Super Long Freight Train!!!!

[@Manoffire260]

The local paper just last week said depot project is on hold for a bit. The city claims they put everything (contractors paperwork) in the hands of CSX for review in late May, but the railroad’s project manager has yet to approve the contractor’s insurance for window/door reinforcement and the removal of the tin ceilings. I believe that is all that is left prior to turning it over to the actual movers. They are now worried that the weather window is closing in for a move this year. I was told all hazmat/asbestos has been done.

I read a couple of months back what its going to cost as is often the case will be a good bit more than the original estimate.

A nice sized local train with SD40s and a friendly engineer - you said it :) You also nailed it with "vandalism". It is graffiti and some of it is artistic, but in the end it is vandalism. Nice autorack - with the sun, I could see the autos inside :) That station - moving a building that old is a massive project involving some very specialized equipment. I bet they are having trouble finding anyone who can do the move or wants to. You have it correct - there is every good chance that the brickwork will crumble during the process.

[@BOBSBOWLINGSTUFF]

They are going to insert a bunch of those yellow bars across the bottom of the station. Then, they will lift the station up on hydraulics and pull in a flatbed truck under the bars. Lower the bars and station onto the flatbed truck, and then slowly pull it over to the new location (which I know you will be filming for us). Once the station is over to the new location, they will put the yellow bars on hydraulics to take it off the truck, pull out the truck and then lower the station onto the new foundation. I have known this procedure to take place on old stations, up here in Canada.

[@db8823]

Great show on PBS when they moved a lighthouse 120'.

[@rodrobinson6646]

From seeing other buildings moved I would imagine they would excavate under the walls to insert several I beams for supporting the structure, then jack it up to mount on dollies for the move and then the reverse process at the new location. Love the WHY sign. Maybe a misspelling of WYE or something else?

[@wtxrailfan]

I was wondering the same thing. Is that sign supposed to say "WYE" but is misspelled "WHY"? Maybe it's nomenclature for "West Hamilton (Y)Wye."

[@mikemalo47]

The B&O station in Deshler had to have a lot removed before it got torn down.

[@jens_hatje]

As far as I know, they dig holes all around the perimeter of the building. In the holes they then remove part of the foundation and place jacks in each one. Then they slowly jack the building up until they can get a carrier under it (the kind with hundreds of wheels). First they have to get one that's bigger that's long enough for the station. Once loaded on that, they truck it over inch by inch to the new location, where they then lower it onto the new foundation. You can youtube how buildings are moved to give you an idea. It's pretty neat.

[@DavidSmith-xs3or]

I love railroad station architecture. I'd like to have a coffee-table book on that. I love sketching railroad stations. Up here in Michigan, there are people who photograph old barns. Not many old ones left. At least I can see trains pass by my apartment, only a few yards away.

[@billmorris2613]

I’m thinking to keep the depot from crumbling they will move it very carefully, with a lot of bracing inside. I’m thinking they will probably move it in 3 to 5 sections. The whole building in around 180 feet. I think they will try to move the north, three story section which is around 40 feet long in one section. Then the rest in 2 to 4 sections. Some disassembly besides cutting the building into sections may be required. They did move a old school building intact in New Orleans a few years ago. It is a three story, stone building about 80 ft wide and 130 ft long. If you look on Google earth It is on the corner of S Claiborne Ave and Cleveland Ave. It has a light green roof on it. It’s no longer visible in the street view but is there on the satellite view. It sat there on the frame work and wheels for a few years.

[@kennethhanks6712]

Check out Wolfe House and Building Movers, and more specifically the Sturgis, MI Station move, on the internet and you will see how amazingly these complete buildings can be moved almost completely intact. The ex Milwaukee Road station in Bedford, IN (a STONE building) was a similar move.

The coupled length of most of the Bi & Tri level auto racks is 93 feet 10” inches. And they can carry around 80,000 lbs for the Bi level and around 73,000 lbs for the Tri level. But they usually bulk out before reaching the weight limit. The Bi level cars usually can carry 10 trucks, SUVs, and vans. The Tri level cars can usually carry 15 regular automobiles..

That"s actual quote light compared to bulk commodity cars with coal, rocks, grain etc.

@@perchlarkin Absolutely. The weight of a 2022 Chevrolet Impala is around 3750 lbs. So 15 of them is only around 56,000 lbs. A load of coal is around 236,000 lbs plus around 50,000 lbs for the car which is 286,000 lbs gross for a car of coal, grain. plastic pellets, etc, etc. A 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 weights is between 4,700 to 5,300 Lbs. So 10 of them would be around 50,000 lbs. The max gross weight of the Bi and Tri levels is between 179,000 and 180,000 lbs. Each container compartment is light compared to a car in a unit train like coal, grain, plastic pellets, etc, etc, also. Each container has a gross weight of around 60,000 lbs. The highway gross weight of a container and its tractor is around 80,000 lbs.
