Sawing Rail

A portable cut-off saw slices through a 102 year old, 35 pound per yard, rail. The rail is being cut to fit on a trailer so it can be moved to a new backyard mining railroad.

The craziest thing about this video is the brush fire at the top right near the end of the video.

actually that saw is designed to be run at full throttle while cutting. while training at our fire department while using the k12 saw your suppose to have wheel spinning max rpm before contacting the median being cut.

It's amusing to read all the professional youtuber comments.

Must be brain dead using that saw free hand, he'l end wearing it across his face when it snatches.

@bbjanee34 I disagree.

Look again at whats going on.

There is another rail in the way, he does not want his pants to get burned, and he does not want to spin around as that would catch the whole ditch on fire.

He is doing as best he could...its a big saw, you got to hang on hard to use it.

@bravecat100 I'm no forensic investigator but if i had to guess I'd say it was probably caused by the huge quantities of red hot sparks flying from the saw. Either that or its a vital clue in the 9/11 conspiracy.

The spontaneous combustion at the end of the video first produce a spark then burns like a roadside flare. What do you really think that is?
