      Hello my friend! I thought you’d appreciate this one 🤣 No they are not litter mates. They just do this to each other DAILY! Once one starts neither one of them can stop. We actually had to have a full teeth extraction on that calico. When we found her she was in such bad shape her teeth were all rotted and broke -either from gum disease or poor nutrition? She is now a hefty weight and very healthy and happy!! The saddleback we found had a severely infected leg wound and would only walk on 3 legs until we got him cleaned up and healed. Now they are best buddies 😻

    Interesting, looks like old CWR that’s no longer good for supporting heavy coal loads, I don’t know for certain but CWR can be ground so many times by a LORAM rail grinder before it’s loses its pounds per yard strength, this is probably 136lb rail. It can still be used in yards or other scenarios where excessive train weight isn’t an issue. You didn’t happen to see a mill brand/date on these pieces? Have an excellent rest of your Friday 👍🏼😎🇺🇸

      Yes next video has all mill brands and specs on it. This is historically the uphill line of the tracks where engines struggle to get up the grade….it doesn’t look like it but it is steep. Have seen them stall out at this sight. Not sure if that put extra wear on the rails!?

      Ugh! Been there…..sorry to hear that. You ever consider maybe getting a GoPro with hand held mount? You can get a hero 10 for about 150….an 11 for 250…12s are still high. I use an 11 on some vids. They are incredibly balanced and stable when filming (no shaking around or wobble even if you are moving). They have great sound and are perfect for walking videos or if you are moving a lot. If you ever have any questions about them I can help you out. The last 2 train videos I posted today are both with a GoPro.

      1978 so it’s definitely been in use for quite some time. Wow 1967 that’s pretty cool, maybe a different formulation in the steel made one last longer than the other? 136lb rail I guessed correctly, brand new 2023. Thanks for showing this, I love the infrastructure end of the railroad, not to many people know a lot about it, unless you work in the industry. Excellent video!👍🏼😎🇺🇸

    Pretty cool to see. I’ve scrapped a few cars before, you gotta cut the gas tank out, take the tires off, I’ll load it on our car trailer with the skid loader with forks on. Usually take cars to Assads in Brownsville if the price is right or 51 Auto takes them, not sure if Webster Metals takes whole cars or not. Cool video!

      The ford Panther platform is in my opinion some of the greatest all time vehicles ever made. Those 4.6 engines can go 250,000 miles easy. Man that’s a shame it got scrapped 80s/90s and even up to 2011 ford full size products are the #1 modern car people are looking for. They go for good money if clean. 1960s imperials, 1970s GM products, clamshell wagons, full size Buicks and 1970s and pre Cadillacs are the most sought after but they are hard to find anymore and go for big bucks! Even the bumpers alone for some of those cars can go for $500 plus. It pays to know old car parts lotta money in that business. I think that would be my dream someday is to open a junkyard lol.

      I’m really sorry to hear that. He sounds like he was a great cat and brought lots of joy and memories to your life. I’ve lost a few myself and have been devastated by it. I gots cats that act like dogs-sometimes better. They’ve all been throw aways or showed up here lost with nobody ever coming to claim them. The ones you save never forget that. A few have take me over 2 years to break out of survival mode….but when they broke…wow. No better companion in the world in my opinion. 🐈‍⬛🐈😻

    The good old Monogahela bridge. That’s a shame how low that river is due to them taking out the Elizabeth lock. You should see the boat launch in Monessen, the waters edge is about 8’ lower. Great shots of the Mon👍🏼😎🇺🇸

    Nice drive through Webster, I was just through there last Friday. If you want a cool spot to watch trains go to the boat launch, there’s a pretty cool old RR bridge that goes over the boat launch entrance. They got the road all tore up down here, I wish they never took the bridge out, it’s a pain in the ass if you want to go to Donora, gotta drive all the way up to Donora Monessen bridge now. Great video👍🏼😎🇺🇸

      I saw that little overpass and thought that would be a sweet spot to get a train! I just didn’t have the time to sit for hours and wait it out….. I love these little hole in the wall river and railroad towns….they have so much heart and character. There are still some really nice houses around! Of course there are some that are too far gone, but those are kind of cool too! Call me weird I appreciate when things are nice but I also enjoy seeing the natural collapse and decay of what once was. Kind of a return to nature thing….🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching!
