The world's largest rail car, the Schnabel Car: 2,090,000 lbs. from Mendota to Wyanet, IL. 08/29/10

[trainmanauxl1]

they should've borrowed UP 6936 for that!

[MrZkr123]

for something that big they should have borrowed some of CSX's SD80MAC's or AC6000's

[cnw6871]

There are accually about 15 schnabel cars in circualtion throughout North America. This one is just the largest.

[Kayushi]

in mendota is that a steam engine on the left and if it is can i have some info on it?

[whirl0crazy]

@Kayushi it is a steam engine.. i dont know the type but it is for the meseum... it think its from 1917???? if i remember. i live just down the road so

[Landaux]

I would love to see more products like this get hauled on the rails instead of the road. :-)

[Owvin]

2,090,000 lbs.? That's almost an entire gigagram of weight! To wit: 2090000 lbs / 2.205 lbs per kg equals about 947000 kilograms or about 947 megagrams, not quite 1 gigagram.

Great Job....A Schnabel train rolled through Indian Head, Saskatchewan Canada way back in 1978......It was pulled by CP Rail in Canada & Burlinghton Northern in the U.S.A.....it came from Duluth Minnesota.

1:09-1:20 Longest horn blast I've ever heard!

[Roboman2121]

@niroom404 It would sure wake up all of your sleeping neighbors on a Monday morning! lol. Just don't get any ideas! I'd hate it if I was the cause of someone getting arrested.

[aarontrain]

@niroom404: I've got one that equals it, maybe a few milliseconds longer. Search "Amtrak P092 Silver Star with LOTS of Horn". For some reason, it won't let me post a link here. Got to love the good horn from the engineer on this video too!

[jacobfain9]

still looks like new the wheels

[BeAsTmOdEoN12]

it would really suck to get stopped at a railroad crossing

[CPWindsorsub]

awesoem vid, its made in Canada too(im Canadian)

[vivs79]

i love it

[mbw1001]

Very cool catch!!!

[qwedrtgy]

Impressive video! Really neat watching that thing! I saw it pass through Kewanee. Wished I would've chased it to Galesburg. If it ever comes this way again, I definitely will.

[SPTunnelMotor]

I'd pull this beast with one or two DD35A's - or to be more realistic, since they still exist, with two DDA40X locos... :) - I'd also accept 3 Tunnel Motors doing the job. Upgrade, that is.... :)

[CSX6000]

Great sound!

[iRECKONER]

such a great catch! u ask me she is moving a bit faster than 15 mph

[iRECKONER]

[Railhead1956]

[RANDY2045]

[Cornelu]

[michelinman8592]

[trainlova12]

[LocalRailfan]

Nice video dude.

[UnionPacificRules]

Damn what a horn! :DDDDD

[1998ChevroletS10]

how many axles on the train altogether counting the rail car

[tnttrains]

Well thats gotta be an expensive shipping bill.

[roundhouser]

I bet this thing is a beast in person.

[crazeejay2006]

Great video. I shot it in Ontario while it was on its way towards Sarnia just before it crossed over into the US

[dutchtrainmanserie22]
