I was wondering what the black box was then I realized must be some kind of lock codes for operations.

He should have checked that a blue "hawk at lunch" sign was placed at each end of the yard track before tucking in.

Somebody told Godzilla that the riser should be finger-tight?

0:30 SpaceX and Kerbal Space Program fans would call this "rapid unscheduled disassembly"

This is how you teach the new guy how to properly do the job. Not some stupid animated video that corporate would probably prefer.....

stainless steel vs stainless steel = galling. the stainless makes it so there is much less oxidation. when that minimal oxidation is broken away from the surface from friction, the steel sticks to itself because there is no oxygen at that exact spot to create oxidation layer.

is that derail on backwards? or is it meant to protect against your parked cars escaping the yard? I was assuming that the derail was there to protect against a train coming from the direction of the "stop, unloading cars" sign, but the geometry of the derail suggests that it's built to take impacts from the other direction. Mainly, it looks to me like that big hook that drops into the ballast is meant to fetch up against a tie to brace against the force a train striking it. The webbing across the top also appears to be braced to withstand an impact on the side facing outward as-position in the video. I'm just a dumb nobody on the internet, but i feel like if that's meant to protect against a train entering the yard and striking the parked cars, it needs to be flipped around. Alternately, if it's protecting against cars rolling out of the yard, it needs to be shifted to the other rail, but still in the same direction.

sorry, but hank hill handles all my propane needs.

I dare you to smoke a cigarette on top of that tanker 😅

38:10 Except the 4 pounds of loose petrified pipe dope, that would fill the tank that breaks off from the factory install! 😁👍

Pipe dope acts as a lube and dries like epoxy. Also don't tighten too much. It can split the flange from the taper threads.

Very interesting video.

Great video! Been watching for a while, always learn something new each vid. Could you possibly make a video explaining the purpose of your propane storage facility? Meaning do y’all mostly sell/export for agriculture, residential or industrial purposes. And how much volume of product do you store/sell/offload in any given time. Average pricing would be a cool bit of information too. Anyways, love your work, not trying to sound creepy or crazy just truly interested in the industry, thanks!

do you know a " Hank Hill"? I hear he is huge in the propane world .

I see a safety issue: putting a toxic substance(antifreeze) in an unlabeled drinking container.

Instead of a crescent wrench get an 8 point socket & ratchet

was that glycol in a gateraid bottle? did it have a hazcomm sticker? safety safety safety

Is the placard removed when the car is empty? I see tons of cars going by with no placard.

Got it. The car ships back with ~10 psi vapor pressure.

I assume you have 2 liquid lines because of tank baffle/baffles? Where do you get the Nitrogen from? Is the Nitrogen just used to purge the pipe fittings? When the car is empty, is it slightly pressurized with vapor and shipped back? The whole thing looks like one big explosion hazard. It looks like your tools are Aluminum alloy spark proof. The VFD on the compressor will save a ton of wear and tear. All really great info. Thanx.

Hello from Finland. I am a senior electronic maintenance engineer and found this really interesting. I learnet some good stuff too. It’s a real honor to meet a person who does his job well.

Gotta be the best instructor I've seen so far. The way he speaks clearly, informative and visually must be his greatest strength when teaching newcomers.

You should watch his video on making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. ... How to become unionized and over complicate every job. Before the union white knights rill in let's talk all the toppled cranes...

I deliver these to 2 facilities just outside houston.

Interesting channel! -- QUESTION -- Did you ever see Breaking Bad where they stop a train and steal some liquied chemical out of one of the tanker cars and replace the weight removed by pumping in water (so that no one at the train yard get's suspicios)? Is what they do possible and has it ever been done before?

To bad we inspect 200 cars a day and get 2 mins a car and not 30 mins lol

Thank you for the hypothesis. Knowledge base.

That's an awesome catch

You used the crescent wrench incorrectly on those first two valves. The way you had it, the force of turn will attempt to move or loosen the movable jaw. By having the movable jaw on the leading direction of movement, there is not anywhere near as force on it versus it being in the trailing position.

Man we just take a part the pump and 🍅🍅 🍅🍅 goes everywhere!!

Captain Save a load!

What if its the end of the world and we need to know how to get propane from a car! Wala. 🎉

You train just like my boss Juanita! I can be a little sarcastic but I know your thinking! Your a great teacher. We work as a mix cook. With 1000's if gallons of tomatoes. They don't blow up but we produce caustic acid and we use really hot steam. Ive seen guys get injured in the 9 years I've been there. Mostly the cocky ones.🎉 Thank you.

Suppose to be hand tight. Stresses it, gripes about it. Then uses a wrench to tighten it!😂🎉 Very informative thank you.

Great instructional video. As a plumber I hate when plugs are cranked in so far you need a 5 foot breaker bar.

I'm a HAZMAT Technician instructor who teaches Railcar basics and Chlorine Tank Car response. We also have an LPG / Ammonia dome trainer. Excellent preso. Nothing wrong with your way of doing business- you thought through the process to keep it efficient and SAFE! Going to send your video around to our other instructors.

I now have knowledge on how to test things on a Dot 111 tanker car. I do hope I get to use this knowledge some day. Mainly because this was fascinating.

interesting

Thank you 😊

Alls I heard was "my ways the best way and the others guys are idiots that break my equipment"hahaha

im GLAD you fixed the Gatorade bottles.. .cuz i was going to make a comment something like that particular flavor of Gatorade is delicious .. glad to see the correct WHIMIS approved labels.

What a quaint system.... When was this designed.... The last century?

Incidentally, you "screwed-up" nothing. Repositioning the keypad was simple to do, and that is what you did. You fixed the temporary problem to become a permanent fix. The method does not even take a high school student to accomplish without difficulty. The new keypad was properly and perfectly placed. Otherwise, you did a great job the same way you have been taking charge of "your" railroad. If anyone does not like it, one can "kiss off!"

Your job is an occupation in which you need not type as I can on the microcomputer. You may still be able to manage data and take control of your fluid systems without letdown. I am pleased to mention that your load monitor lets you keep control of your railyard, and that must make all the difference in the world. Therefore, let no one change your style.

Thank you for the extra knowledge about gaseous and liquid cargo for tank cars. It is so helpful because I liked tank cars when I was a little kid.

I swear I thought that was Gatoraid in your tool box. But it's ethylene glycol antifreeze, which is highly toxic and sweet tasting. It takes about 8 ounces to kill a person, and its a slow painful death. To make this more dangerous, there is a Gatorade flavor that is almost the same yellow green as Prestone antifreeze. At least use a different bottle and mark it as to its contents

Your Propane Insights adds insight to the workings of the American railroad. That was a genuine heritage.

damn. yer right up there with hank hill!!

Never use oil on pressurized oxygen fittings / caps.

15:45 don't they make some sort of ratchet so you don't have to constantly take the wrench off when tightening and loosening?
