Box Cars Pushed by Cat!

[UNIVDNC]

The Feds would say NO! NO! NO!. and its also a CALOSHA offense. for the ground crew and a dozen more violations are show in here.

[singwith]

@UNIVDNC I believe this is FRA excepted track.

[UNIVDNC]

@singwith I just checked with my friend who is retired from S.P. and actually they are doing nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all - the company owns the track. I work in an office with no windows I dont get out to see this kind of stuff.

[LyokoTravels]

Now that's a strong forklift :D

[produKtNZ]

Was that.... a forklift :D?

[rockerzac99]

people who paint graffiti are idiots who are wasting their talent on crime. thumbs up if you agree

[BaronvonBavert]

great video and good job !!!!!

[singwith]

@BaronvonBavert Thanks!

[iceman977th]

I wonder how hard it would be to turn a CAT loader into a hi-rail loader.

[canadianpacific11]

cool video and is that a bad neighborhood

[singwith]

@canadianpacific11 Thanks. yea, it's not good to be there at night.

[theGUYwho1]

i bet those guys could get all the shit sued outta them for those kind of stunts, bnsf might not like the fact there basicly tampering with there boxcars drawbar with those chains or cables w/e the hell there using. and the front end loader deal, no doubt its not supposed to be pushed like that ether. great vidio, but makes you wonder... how stupid can people get?

[spcascades]

@theGUYwho1 No, those guys would not get sued. Within the shipper's facility, the shipper can move the cars all they want and how they want. The drawbars are made to move, we just push them back if they are out of alignment. Customers moving cars within their facilities has been going on like this for decades, it's nothing new. Not supposed to be pushed like that? We do the same principle on the railroad. Relax.

[gm16v149]

@spcascades But doesn't the rail car cross a public street? I guess the cars would be free-running with no air so no brakes except the hand wheels! I know there's no way they could get away with that in Australia, though I've seen them push grain gons with a loader. I could imagine the safety guy at BHP Iron Ore having a fit seeing the guy ride the car in front of the loader bucket ! But at BHP you've just about got to take a safety course just to go to the john!

[arlingtontrains7]

cat powers locomotives???

[singwith]

@arlingtontrains7 Yea, If you want to know more about it, google it as PRLX Car Locomotive.

[arlingtontrains7]

pretty freaking cool:D.. i couldent belive a forklift had the power to do that?..

[singwith]

@arlingtontrains7 yeah, did u hear that UP i testing cat powered locomotives? :D

[lydia308]

always been a long time fan of trains and Cat's and I always knew Cats were powerful but dang. sweet video too

[singwith]

@lydia308 Thanks!

[Temuil]

Interesting idea ))

[singwith]

@Temuil Yea, I thought that was funny.

[conrailbuff]

Thats one strong front-end loader and thats common practice but I've never seen anything like that round here before.

Those two boxcars had to be empty for that lil forklift, cuz I dont think it could have been able to pull them if they where loaded.

[singwith]

@conrailbuff Did you hear the news that Caterpillar Inc buys EMD? lol

[singwith]

@conrailbuff >Those two boxcars had to be empty for that lil forklift,

Yes, those were empty.

[48alfaone]

Great Catch! Switching with a front end loader and fork lift, lol ! Your right, you don't see this everyday. Maybe it was a GP-Bobcat-Dash2? Thanks.

[singwith]

Thanks!

[conrail2]

whtats railroad is that?

[singwith]

UP.

[mfjaages]

Every reason to have a forklift. 5/5

[singwith]

Thanks!

[AmtrakBoys]

Wow! Great Vid 5/5 and Fav!

[singwith]

Thanks!

[nssd70m2]

The force is within ,the cat!

[singwith]

lol....

[trainman122]

Never send a Caterpillar to do a locomotives job.

[BNSFTIM55]

cat is better

[trainman122]

not really

[singwith]

lol...

[UPTRAIN]

They do this all the time in plants everywhere. Some places have mock couplers welded onto the buckets of their front end loaders like that.

It's not FRA regulated inside the plants, the companies own the tracks, not the railroad, and if something goes wrong, well, that's what derails are for. They'll never touch the main track.

[BudmanPackfan]

Not sure if these operations follow FRA and OSHA regs!!! lol

[singwith]

I think that spur is FRA excepted track.

[MiguelGalarceS]

Good video

!!!Very interesting!!!

[singwith]

Thanks!

[UnionPacificRules]

Nice! haha that tuck driver seemed a lil impaciente...lol

[singwith]

Thanks!

[ohiosouthern]

Haha , buy the looks of this, we need Caterpillar Engines. lol

[BudmanPackfan]

there are some locos that have been re-engined with Cat, mostly older switchers....

[FastDashEight]

The truck driver at he crossing must have gotten a kick out of watching a forklift pull out a train

[studogg120]

nice catch snuffy

[singwith]

Thanks!

[EnjoyFirefighting]

sometimes it's like that in Germany too: Here Unimog is sometimes used for that

[Chicagojoe28]

WOW lol Forget about EMD and GE! ha ha

[GregInCalifornia]

Great CATch  ;-)

[singwith]

Thanks!

[boomr97]

CAT power is #1!
