The things you find in your suggested video box
On the bright side, you could've learned something else new for the day lol. At least I did
30 seconds my ass! That was more like half a minute!
@@CarlosSanchez-en6mr how i count through history class... "ugh just 3 more 20 minutes, each 2 10 minutes, so i only need to get through 5 minutes 12 times.
Sashwath Prakash same😂
I’m like, there is an hour left
That mean 6 10min
Or 12 5min
Well that was satisfying. See y’all in another 3-7 years!
we will probably forget we even saw this video and think it’s cool the next time 💀
This video should be titled "train car sits and does nothing for 2/3rds the video, then empties in seconds!"
They should have explained what was happening. Vibrators, opening doors, etc.
It’s all for stockings. Merry Christmas 🎄
The fun industrial side of the North Pole. I always wanted to see Norman Rockwell paintings of the Elven Mines.
Haha this is Santa's workshop and we all on the naughty list this year
The scale at which industrial machinery operates always astounds me
Wanted to see the valves close. Disappointed

The doors are opened and closed manually via a gear reduction
UA-cam and these random ass recommend videos are the reason I have no life
Don't think of this as reasons of having "no life". Take this opportunity to enrich yourself with knowledge of the mundane that we all take for granted :)
the time of the emptying process in totally unimportant -what counts is how long it takes to place the car into the right spot until the next car gets into the right spot
The coal ports in Australia empty one of those in about two seconds while they are moving they just drop it out the floor of the wagon
@@lackofsanity9329 In the UK we do the same at power stations, 1/2 mile an hour, the train keeps rolling. This is old footage but 09:00 onwards shows it ua-cam.com/video/h3esA-JldCo/v-deo.html
Funny how something that's totally unimportant takes up a significant portion of the total time you speak of and thus is important.
These Factorio graphics really look amazing for 2010.
My Dad ran the "shakers & pits" at P&C Docks in Conneaut, OH. He worked his up from there to "Stacker/Reclaim wheel" to Dozers to Ship Loader and on to Hulletts before he retired. There was a "look-out" area where you could park and see the whole operation of the docks. Spent many hours sitting there watching various operation and knowing my Dad was somewhere down there, making the money to support us.
I used to work on the Great Lakes Freighters ,, Conneaut was always one of my favorite towns. Used to be a bar there called the "Middle Earth" ... I lost a LOT of brain cells in that place!
Mike Struchen that was a nice story. Next Father's Day you should remind him, if you haven't told him.
Hey I live in Ashtabula about 10 minutes from conneaut. Know exactly where you’re talking about! Sat on the lookout many times and been in the hullit that is on display there. Small world
joesph h Aye I’m from Ashtabula too. Guessing you are graduated by now but if not what school you go to.
Below the car is a shaker. It shakes the coal out of the train car. Below the shaker is a conveyer belt, the belt rolls the coal out into a pile in the yard that is moved by a giant loader. I know this because I had to reline a shaker before. It was a high of 20 that day and a total white out. I had to use a big wheat burner to constantly melt the snow and dry the metal to get my weld to stick. A few hour job took the whole day that day, but I will never forget it.
I think the device that is lowered down onto the car is the shaker in this case, but I could be wrong.
@@CumminsTurbo4 Indeed, but the guy in the original comment stated otherwise and has worked with a shaker, I have never - therefore my "I could be wrong".
This is more “satisfying” than those annoying “odDlY SatISFyInG “ videos tbh
I expected a 30 second video 😓
If you expect 30seconds from a minute and 47 seconds long video you deserve to be disappointed.
lets all take a moment to appreciate the coal that never left the truck
I work here, and before you ask: yes, this does fall straight down and get funneled right into Satans @$$... Yes
How else do you think we keep the fires going?
@@lfeco that’s what I was thinking, but it doesn’t seem to do much vibrating. I guess probably just poor video quality though. Thanks!
From 1:08 onward is sounds like a jet ready to take off.
just skip to 0:59

Are YOU circumcised? I can't believe this is actually a thing...
that's crazy!!!
I know you posted this 4 years ago but it feels like I just met you out in public or something.
This is kinda satisfying
Emptying starts at 0:56
Have you ever seen the Norfolk and Southern coal loading operation in Norfolk. They inverted two 100 ton cars at a time ,then bumped them through automated switches back to the empties yard. One of the colossal loaders would fill the barge I worked on at 3000 tons an hour.
Whoever invented gravity is a genius!
What did Issac Newton say when the apple hit his head?
"There's a knighthood in this, if only I could figure out 'why'".
@@justinmartin8887 By what using reasoning? People like you wouldn't believe me. Would be too much common sense for you.
"cycle time" is critical when planning industrial operations. It's not just the time the coal goes out, but the time it takes to move the car and stage it.
In my case, many years ago, we used bottom dump cars like this and a shaker that pushed up against the side of the car. Worked like a champ when the coal was dry or at least not frozen. The shaker was crazy noisy and was pretty rough on the cars. We had a thaw shed for frozen cars, sometimes taking several hours on nat gas burners to get the car to a point where we could shake it out. Even then, we had large chunks of frozen coal over the hoppers to physically break up. Rotary dumpers are much better, most big plants used them to keep up with the burn rate.
Don’t miss my col days one bit.
*kids in Africa could've eaten that coal.*
SIDA or they could use the coal for their families and power things and save money for food in a realistic situation, but you only care about an overused joke
Meanwhile Cities: Skylines trains: "Here's a shovel"
My dad worked at South East Coal processing plant in the 70's. We lived three miles away and I can remember sitting on the back porch and listening to the "shake house" empty out cars.
weird the things youtube thinks i would like. this one they got right. i couldn't figure out what that green thing was for at first
Jay Groom thats a vibrator, keeps the haul shaking so the coal can drop quickly and smoothly.
*Happy reunion everyone! I love the way youtube algorithm keeps us united!!*
Now I finally know why those train cars have those triangle shapes on the bottom.
And that's step one of how electricity is made!
save a few lumps for the Christmas stockings
Coal train was a musical genius. Pouring it all out on stage as always.
This has to be the oldest video I have ever been recommended... 11 years wow, and I remember a time before internet hahaha

Powering America:
It takes just under 2 minutes, if we're being honest.
I hear similar machine sounds at night at the mill near my house. Now I know what it is, thank you!
I always see the loading of coal trains never the unloading part pretty neat to see 4-5 bay cars getting unloaded, I really only ever see is top dumps or rotary cars. That shaker reminds me of the one we use at my job, does the same thing essentially shakes coal out of a hopper but our hopper is stationary and it doesn’t hold 100 tons
"Hmm, 30 seconds? The only way might be if it opens a trap door belo- oh it really has it"
nice video of the coal emptying out.
What's scary is how far I had to go down before somebody asked about that green thing on top... The average human being has the intellectual curiosity of a piece of livestock.
The coal layout is so SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH
I live in the tri-state area of oh,wv and ky. I've seen a train engine many times transporting 100+ cars of coal filled to the brim like this one. I've seen a couple of dump stations like this one from the road but never up close. Really interesting.
Welcome to episode 532 of _Why is This in my Recommended?_
“When you really really gotta take a real dump…. Please don’t don’t squeeze the Charmin!”
I love UA-cam. Today I watched some guy test out new train wheels, how to lad an Apache's machine gun, 82nd all the way, and this.
What I want girls to think about me: interesting guy, lots of hobbies, you’ll never be bored
My UA-cam recommendations:
wow that is absolutely insane.
Thank you 10fasttruck, very informative.

Steve’s inventory be like:
I thought the car was gonna rotate like how they tip it sometimes lmao
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Takes about five minutes to load each car and in some areas, they spray clear latex over the top to keep the coal dust down (I've seen it and times it).
Slower than I expected
That took 1.46 to empty... ;)
Phantomthecat actually the coal started going down at 1:00 so it took 47 seconds
Trainandgames Reviews Actually you would factor in the time it took to get the car in position. So fuck off
tyler bonser Actually you wouldn't because you haven't started unloading. So fuck off

I used to do this very job, drive heavy coal trains with 100 T hoppers, we could empty the whole train of 19 hoppers in around 15-20 mins, filling them again about the same, good days.
Exactly the same as when I got my salary.
I was hopperman for awhile at the LTV steel Cleveland Coke plant. Opening pocket doors and lowering the exact same shaker down on the car. Also controlled what bin the coal would go into in the Mixer building. lousy job in the winter on midnights......#1 and @2 coke plants are gone now.

PSSST! LIAR! That took nearly 31 seconds. And, I gave you a lot of leeway.
Never knew 30 seconds last one and a half minutes.🤯
Smarter every day.
Beautiful clean coal
That car shaker is so loud this video does it no justice.
Why is this in my reccomendeds
I wonder the same, i literally haven't watched anything close to what would relate to this video
***** I mean, I watched a few train videos on this account, but that was back in 2014.
"Anyone seen the new guy?"
"He was told to count the coal as it came out."
"And he thought the best place was under it?"
"Yup."
I thought it was going to lift sideways but hey this is much cooler.
as a railfan, i approve of this video
i must be watching some weird ass shit to have this recommended to me
why is this on my recommended? this was published 6 years ago
So basically you are only interested in videos published in the last 2 hours whatever the content.
Naughty coal gets stuck in the _train vibrator_ until it learns to cooperate
COAL TRAIN RHYMES WITH WHOLE GRAIN BABY! WHOOOOOAH!
What a good succ 😂👌🔥👀💯
Yo dude. He has a good comment and you're basically telling him to "stfu" am I or am I right?
I was severely hoping it’d be the coal loading process played in reverse and all of it would just get succed up cartoon like
It is called as track hopper system of coal unloading. The waiting time is for making connection to pneumatic gates
It took 23-25 seconds for it to empty
Asgard7788 lmfao pocket watch tony love it thanks for the smile you put on my face merry Christmas and happy New Years
clearly you dont understand the concept of rounding up or rounding down to save time n calculations
this is why the concept of machines to capture CO2 from the atmosphere would not be feasible, we are too busy putting it back in again
+Douglas Frazier We already have trillions and trillions of those "machines". upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Puriri_tree.jpg/1280px-Puriri_tree.jpg
mahnarch can they keep up with the conversion of fossil fuels into carbon dioxide back into carbon compounds again - that's all I worry about - seeing as the human race is harvesting those botanical carbon-sequestering "machines" and making furniture out of them - it's just about the balance, carbon out/carbon in, which way are we going
How's that couch feel at the end of a work day? Sleeping in that bed real good? Putting those cotton fiber clothes on every morning and drinking that fiber filtered coffee under your wood built house/apartment...
No one is immune from fiber use. Just the same as "no one is vegan" (if you use chapstick, you're using a cow product).
Beavers also harvest wood fiber. How come no one protests them?
Also, trees*, bushes*, shrubs*, cotton*, switchgrass*, palm ferns*, lichen*, bamboo*, perennials* and dandelions* all grow back.
They can keep up. They're doing fine. In fact, they want to know how you are doing.
*all breathe CO2
+mahnarch not sure I get your point - are we planting as many trees as we are burning tons of coal? Most reports say that large tracts of forested areas are being cleared for development - so forests maybe cannot make wood fast enough to keep up with CO2 production. I have read estimates that this is so, that we take carbon out of the ground and put it in the air faster than plant life can put it back again.
I can't look up the numbers (green earth vs CO2 vs time) without this box going away.
So..uhm.. I bought another house plant today. I'm helping. :)
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
Cool this is the Freightcar America Auto Flood Car my dad helped design these
Really. Christmas. Coal. on my recommended videos... is UA-cam and Santa trying to tell me something...
That took a lot longer than 30 seconds start to finish. The Rollover method is MUCH FASTER.
Eltontv You have seen it in action ??? How can it not be faster when there is no need to have crew uncouple and recouple each wagon on the train.
Roll over roll it back NEXT PLEEEEEESE. !!
Drew Smith
Obviously I replied to a comment ON THE WRONG VIDEO. It was meant to reply to some guy who assured me that some antique method of uncoupling each wagon, and rolling it individually and recoupling it to the wagon in front was much faster that the more modern method of using rotary couplings and rolling the wagon over while it is still hooked up to the ENTIRE TRAIN.
So sorry to offend you Sahib please accept my most humble apologies for I am an unworthy dog.
Drew Smith No Memsahib - at least 500 I think would be more appropriate for a worthless dog such as me.
A friend of mine lives in western Penna.told me there is tons of coal along the train tracks due to coal car leakage,he told me there are days where people are out there pi cking it up to supplement Their winter winter supply.
I take comfort in knowing that I'm not the only person who clicked on a nearly two minute UA-cam video for the sole purpose of watching a 30 second event.
Nobody:
UA-cam algorithm:
Yooo my man, check this video of a fucking train from 10 years ago. That shit fire
The UA-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways
I love that shaking device.
Unload 100 tons, what do ya get? Another 30 seconds older and deeper in debt.
Kk I watched it now get off my recommended
its time for the percolator!
The power plant where I started my working career had 6 of those going at once. It reset my definition of LOUD!
I was a kid and got to dump one using the rotary dump method. Was really cool
I'm sitting on the toilet as I watch this (no lie). I feel a strange connection to this video.
TheDudeofDudes now we have a strange connection
TheDudeofDudes Now all three of us have a strange connection
This video has tied us all together through an internet portal. A portal which leads to the shitter. Someone call NASA.
dude Im on the toilet too ahahahah XD
Now I'm in the toilet wtf
