This is really rather interesting, might I say... In all the 21 year's that I have been alive, I have never seen any Railroad of any kind do this b4!

[pwalpar]

Thanks I am glad you liked it

[slowpoke96Z28]

once it seated properly, is it just weight of the locomotive that keeps it together? what retains it?

[pwalpar]

The center plate inserts into a bowl on the truck bolster. There are retainer bolts keeping it together

That was incredible. It isn't often to be treated to such a display. We just had a major track overhaul here where I live with all new sleepers put in on about a 5 or 6 mile stretch of UP mainline. It is amazing how fast they move to re-open the line. The track grinders are waiting their turn, I hope to get some video of them in action.
