- CEBX 800 on the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad north interchange track heading towards the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway in La Grange, Illinois. The car overhang on the curve is awesome! The world's largest operating railroad freight car is carrying a load bound for a refinery in Kansas. I apologize for the shaky camera.

KPKOREN, I am not concerned about any shaking hands, the fact that you got this feature onto video for every one else to see, well I think this makes you someone special and I thank you for doing it for free.
Fabricated in Oakville Ontario. I saw it being prepared for shipment on a rail spur.
162" I.D., 5-5/8" thick, 139.4' long Tower clad inside with 347 S.S. 1, 350,000 lbs. A Reactor vessel for a Refinery in KS.
Excellent video! The shaky camera is hardly an issue, as the footage captured is still remarkable! Thank you for capturing this on video!
Yeaaa! A caboose, I just love cabooses.
Dang! I can't believe they managed to get that massive thing around such a tight curve like that! Very impressive!
Thanks for watching!
Ken
Thanks for the capture! Good driving skills and judgement by the train crew
I was a switchman on the IHB in Hammond back in the 90s for a couple years....saw a Schnabel parked in one of the tracks in Cal City minus a load, it was still huge.
Wow. You can really hear the fresh track bed rocks popping and the steel creaking under the absurd load. It's an old video but this is still one of the more vivid videos.
Phillip Mulligan that sound is the steel rails creaking under the weight
Thanx, Sasha. Just checked it out. Looks like a decent model.
would not have seen this without your work.thank you so much.one big piece of equipmentwhy not bolt wheels under pipe and send it on..oh yeah never trust the pipe
While the load looks a little grungy, all of the rail equipment looks scrubbed clean and waxed for the trip!
as of yesterday, WECX 800 is in Charleston South Carolina being prepped for another (3rd Move) through Columbia South Carolina.
And again, my compliments on this fine video.
After my great great grandfather finished his march in the Mormon battalion, he came back to Az, and engineered the railroad from Holbrook to Winslow Az in 1878,
If he could see this...wow! What engineering.. good job men!
This was something else to watch. thanks for the very good video.
Awesome! Thanks for posting!👍🇦🇺😎
Fantastic freight car, lucky getting this on tape, thanks
Well done video from the sunny side. Thank you.
Canadian made. Good to see.
How much field work was done to prepare for this load? Track inspection and repair, horizonal and vertical clearances, grades and banking.
Lotta engineering involved in this move. Much respect.
More fun to watch than to do. When i was younger, worked for a boiler factory. Loaded four 550 ton steam drums onto rail cars. Said my prayers before and after those jobs.
this is one neat video. I had a good time watching this one!
If that load is as heavy as it appears, I'm surprised the lead, empty flatcar wasn't derailed by the tension. I've seen fully-loaded tankers pulled off of the tracks by too much weight behind it.
Yeah my thoughts also. Thought the train would have string lined going around the curve.
@@chax2004 String lined?
Amazing piece of engineering.
Awesome catch
It's even stranger looking on the other side where you can really see the overhang. You get a peek of it when the cameraman turns and shoots in the other direction.
Thanks Thomas. The workers were trying to keep people away from the inside curve of the track.
Maybe they were worried the load might roll over??
Thanks for watching.
Ken
Wow! Guess I'll need some of that O-108 track from Atlas if there is ever an O-scale model of it. Very impressive!
Wow. That is one fantasticate piece of kit!
I wquld gladly see made-in Canada anyday, as opposed to ''mass produced in China''....
@tponn Your talk seems pretty cheap. I've been willing to pay double for some things, but too much of our North American manufacturing has fled. Some things just aren't obtainable anymore here unless you go for custom made.
the filming is good, i just never thought there would be problems with big loads like this but im new to trains,I stumbles on these video's by accident lol, and thank you for sharing, im in UK so we never get to see trains like you have in the usa, q:)
An Engineering marvel
Great video!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I've only seen O-27 equipment overhang like that before! Great catch and excellent video.
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
I would like to see it loaded and unloaded
Nice Catch!! I was sitting on the edge of my chair!!
That's a pretty harry curve for such a long single load. I'm so glad that it didn't pull that last boogied cars off the tracks, or separate the tracks. I can see why they would take this very slowly.
THIS IS WHAT I CALL, "THE BIG ONE"!!!!👍👍👍 WHAT 2 SEPARATE FLATS EACH WITH 18 AXELS, WOW, WHAT A LOAD. NICE.
Schnabel Car, it's called. A very impressive piece of equipment.
awesome catch
Thats like me pushing the Huuuuuuge Refrigerator at my school with some one pulling.
OMG! very awesome!! MONSTER!!!
That is a crude oil desalter vessel for an oil refinery.
Do we have vertical desalters? I came across two horizontal desalters in a Crude Distillation Unit. This equipment appears to be a distillation column, as it has a skirt with anchor chair. I may be completely wrong also.
hahaha I love that for a second his laugh kinda sounds like the Counts... "one, one big ass train! Ah ah ah" =P
They are stabilizers and breakaways. IF there's a catastrophic accident they will leave the rails first around the giant load. The empty flat cars are just 50 tons. They are like clothespins compared to the giant load of over a million pounds and the carriage that also weighs that much. It's got to go slow, because if that much weight were to go 50 MPH it would probably continue to roll along on the tracks for ten miles as it was slowed down.
StrongArmGuy I think the maximum operating speed when loaded is 15 mph and the maximum unloaded operating speed is 25 mph is what I read
AngrySlime11. Thank you. Why so slow unloaded?
at .42 see the guy jump at the horn.
ha ha ha ha - good catch
I'm just wondering how practical such a huge train car could possibly be?!?!
A derailment of that car would suck BIG TIME!!
Ikr it would take several heavy duty construction cranes to re rail this
SparkDalmatian haha it would
I've seen the Bachman one up close. It may be plastic, but the details are brass quality.
excellent video. amazed that one engine was pulling that.
Charlie Muller Jr.
It’s not that heavy
Very good patience and control for a hand-held camera on such a slow-moving vehicle. This is fascinating.
It seems to me that there were 38 axles on that particular setup of the Schnabel Car. Do you have any idea of the axle loads involved?
Thank you! Greetings from Cornwall in the UK.
The worlds largest container of mayonnaise? sweet.
+Mike Day sorry it is part of something else
It is the first module of the 2022 Moon Mission and is being shipped to a secret CIA warehouse under an abandoned K-Mart. It is being outfitted as a fracking crew quarters as they have found evidence of fossil fuels being stored in huge underground caverns. It was put there by Egyptian ancestors who used the same levitation mastery they pioneered with magic carpets to ship it there in giant (magic) lamps.
cerulean blue What the fuck did I just read
one hell of a load.
Applaud!
I cant belive they chose to put him up that curve!
Awesome vid!
AWESOME !
what in the world was this big cylinder for?
what was the traveling speed for the train with this cylinder on it?
hehe the way this car is on the curve reminds me of the extra long passenger cars or extra long boxcars that went around those tight HO scale curved track
this is on the east side of ihb and the north side of bnsf in la grange the camera is looking to the northwest/north
Good catch
the little engen that could i think i cani think i can i think i can
Most railfans are. Most railroad employees are as well. Except of course the bulls.
These things have a speed restricted limit of 15 -25 mph and will never let any1 go faster than that
They can go regular train speeds only when unloaded.
dollarsmakesense11 I read a maximum of 25 mph unloaded and 15 mph loaded
@AngrySlime11 ua-cam.com/video/lqAMtAJbT2A/v-deo.html 2:42 I think that this train is moving faster than 25 mph.
Each railroad has its own speed restrictions on specific cars as such. I can tell you this car is not allowed to go track speed on a mainline. It will have a speed restriction of some sort. Educated guess says 30mph empty and loaded would be much slower.
@@gethighonlife11 that's just a depressed center flat car, not a schnabel.
Pura ingenieria...wowww..
A festival of sounds …
what is car used 4
Why the empty flatbeds at the begining and end?
I'm guessing extra braking and weight distribution...
I am now putting train engineers/coordinators up there with rocket scientists. There is so much information and skill sets needed.
what's it carrying?
this is just east of gordon park in la grange the tracks cross over 10 beach ave
Good filming! Didn't notice shaking. Was focusing on the subject. Can anyone tell us how far the car deflected out, on the curve?
This time I noticed the blue & white caboose belonged to the Hooper Co. Portable offices, ops center & bunk house?
Where did it indicate Hooper owned the Caboose? It said Specialized Rail Transport on the side.
What is that Hooper Welding thing it's carrying?
Kyle Bell The Builders. Made in Canada By Hooper Welding. its a reactor vessel for Oil and Gas
That overhang
how do they re-rail this thing!?
ISTO É TECNOLOGIA,UM DIA O BRASIL VAI SER ASSIM
What are those cabs on the car for ? To watch the load?
Hi Chris. I believe that they have the controls to moved the load up and down or side to side. Each cab works independently and can vary the load loading based on conditions and/or obstructions.
Thanks for watching.
Ken
You can clearly see the articulation points on the load, but it seems like there's hydraulic cylinders on each side of both points. Is that a means of boosting the articulation movement?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnabel_car
+ TheRantingCabby
My guess is the hydraulic cylinders help adjust the height of the car, up or down, when approaching an obstacle, i.e. an overhead trestle, or a tunnel.
Good Lord have mercy! What kind of contraption is that? Never seen anything like it! (speaking of rail car)
It's a Snaupple car with multiple railroad two axle trucks, suspended in such a way to spread the weight of the load as widely and evenly as possible on the track. This is a large load in physical size, but not nearly as heavy as some of the loads this car will be called on to handle. This is the type of freight car used to move nuclear reactor vessels or giant transformers for power plants. Those items can run close to half a million pounds apiece. This is probably 'only' in the 200K+ range.
Whoa....!! -this is extreme railroading!
@@cdjhyoung Schnabel Car, isn't it?
@@qwertyTRiG You are right ( and obviously, I can't spell very well...)
We have a trucking company about 20 miles from here that runs over the road Schnabel trucks and trailers. That's just as fantastic as these rail cars.
@@cdjhyoung I've never seen them on the road (or on rail, except in videos). That must be cool.
And I can't spell for toffee myself.
at what speed did this train travel on straight tracks? thanks for the video.
I believe it was restricted to 15mph
What are those noises. Sounds like over stressed metal coming apart at the welds. At least there was no wind noise.
It's gonna take some skill to get that thing to it's destination
Just like the big boy
oh yeah!!! made in Canada! only we can make things that big and send them on there way!
Cracking tower for refinery by any chance?
has this feat been duplicated or challenged
Canadian made...I love it
No it's not Canadian made
It just has the flag because CN and CP use it
U.P. railfan You stayed up until 2am to tell me that? lol.
I was talking about the car load.
Go back to bed.
@@caelanreeves9760 Made by Hooper Welding in Oakville , Ontario .
bachmann offers this as a set 100.00-250.00
Only did it in HO; never in N scale...🤣😂😡🤬
すごい！！！！！日本では考えられない！！アメリカは何でもデカいな！！！
MADE in CANADA !
WICH GAUGE. MITER GAUGE OR BROAD GAUGE ???
Im surprised they have that flat car ahead of the huge load, on a curve that sharp its begging for a derailment.
hifijohn Probably added for additional braking
@@jamessimms415 Also to spread the weight and side forces more evenly across the track structure.
I bet the one big boy loctomotive can pull that long car all by it self!
the only thing is that those things have a safe speed of 15 mph no faster than that
Or any one of today’s diesels built in the last 25 years
@@ohboy3622 oh heck yeah
Anyone know if this is the last time this interchange was used? Haven't seen anything else.
WOW
What are these thing used for in rail reading
As fast as that thing is moving, it must really be loaded
If it is a tank ,it might not be that heavy but it is very big !! 😎😎🍺🍺
This tank is completely empty. It is in transit for installation somewhere. The speed reflects the difficulty of safely handling this big an object around a restricted radius curve.
Wow...and here I thought there was excessive overhang trying to run an 80' car around an 18" radius HO layout curve!
80 foot car on a model RR?
@@thomasmleahy6218 Scale 80' car.
すごい!信じられない列車!
I envy you!
Thats good train workers
Would this make it through a tunnel?
I would have been doing 100+ MPH around this corner with no brakes
that sound.... its track on pressure or sound of wind
