National Wrecking Co. Equipment Yard Walk Around

Here is a video of a yard walk around at my neighborhood local demolition company. This is the company my father worked for before moving on to Chicago Streets & Sanitation. I like to thank the yard superintendent for letting me take photos of the machines.

I recently did a video of this company demolishing an old hotel in Lisle, IL.

These guys were up by me and tore down the old building at my school that is being rebuilt. Great video!!

+bobcat1deer2cat3 Thanks! Seems that most of the jobs they do are in the suburbs now. I knew this company since I was a baby.

ahha, you are from chicago, I thought that one building in the background of the one demolition video looked like the hancock tower. let me reedit what I said about not getting in trouble I did not at first see you said thank the yard superintendent, What I should say is your lucky most of the big cats in charge of stuff wont let outsiders anywhere near things, well the union places anyway, and railroads, the clubs and non profits are nicer usually but they really do like it when you use common sense, especialy on old railroad rolling stock falls can happen and its tons of steel litteraly, but the home of NPK 765 they will let you sit in the cab and sometimes move stuff when the loco isn't steamed up after all it can not do anything and it is not like you can turn a key and start it up and have it running, but when its under steam then well if you are really lucky they will let you blow the whistle a little not full tilt since people stand around and the noise would littarly throw off your equalibrium and cause you to fall over if you are outside when they blow it, and they might let you play with the doors on the firebox, or get a shovel of coal and feel how heavy but stoking it has an art an they wont let just anyone do that nor run the throttle unless you are extreamly extreamly lucky like the one guy on video that says throttle time with 765 I think he did the enginer for a hour program and they let him just that once. but that was the only time I ever saw a engine crew member run the engine, well there was the one opperatunity on fathersday weekend on the scenic railroad for 765 dollers in 2012 or 2011.
