  • Out of interest, why does the guy driving the Cat go through the other gate? Can't see in the video why he doesn't just carry on. Cheers.

  • @Vorsprungdurchturbo The CAT could make it through that opening but the side of the lift would snag the fence.

  • That is interesting. Beluga Endurance was in Duluth to unload wind turbine parts and I was wondering what they were taking back across the pond.

  • @alaricdogface Canola and flax seed from Thunder Bay, along with the five locomotives from Erie.

  • @cwazymbfan

    Do you please know when the Boat will arrive in Newport, Wales Docks. I live very near and would like to see them being unloaded.

    Thankyou from the UK

  • @WhiteBoyx5 She's supposed to arrive sometime in early January, around the 10th, I believe. If I find a firmer date I will post it.

  • @WhiteBoyx5 Motor Vessel BELUGA ENDURANCE is due Newport at 1200 hours on 02 January 2011.

  • Like and Favorite, a wheel loader-locomotive LOL hahaha..... :-)

  • what a strange shot! love it!

  • wow, that reverse beeper is L.O.U.D.

  • why didnt they just use a shunter like an 08 or something.surely that would have been easier and safer!

  • @back2frinky

    No I was not there when the Locomotive was dropped, however, I have seen it on the Dockside where it was unloaded due to some damage to the Vessel. The Loco suffered Cracked Axles, Front Bogie Damage, Frame Damage & also other structual damage, It also looks like one end has been lifted up/Jacked up and stayed in Situe .Look similar to a Banana.

  • @WhiteBoyx5 Did you see 70012 get dropped while being unloaded? It was badly buckled and I gather it will be shipped back and used for spare parts.

  • @WhiteBoyx5 Thank You ever so much you are a Star, will make a visit to see them being unloaded. Just a shame it wasnt a couple of Gevo's,, Happy New Year from the UK
