We often use wood too actually. I think the reason being is because its easier to bring with you.
-
@fnh8340 Forgot to tell you we do not use the metric system for weight in transportation in the us.
-
@JBofBrisbane Yes we have tons. 1 ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs.)
-
@fnh8340 In the US 2,000 pounds (lbs.) equals 1 ton. Thus 286,000 lbs is 143 tons. If 286,000 pounds is converted to kilograms it is 129,727.41782
-
@labhunter1 what the hell is 286,000 pounds in kilos? The metric system rules, 1000kgs = 1tonne simple as that, no long tons, no short tons.

Ibet that locomotive was pulled out of service for a while.

HAH! Nice re-railer!
Also, when the shunters calls red light, it means RED LIGHT.

When a train goes on the ground here in the States, many times they will use a "re-railing frog" which is a steel plate angled back to the rail. It catches the flange and forces it back up onto the track. It serves the same purpose as the wood used in the segment at 2:40.

@DaveWVideo and I'm stuffed if I know why they aren't in use here. The Commonwealth Railways carried them on the locos that ran across the Nullarbor. They were a bloody long way from help out there.

Cool video. What is the maximum weight of your cars?
labhunter1 7 months ago
@labhunter1 Generally about 76 tonnes but some grain cars are permitted 92 tonnes at a reduced speed on some lines.
