HEAVY, Rare, and Special Train Move in Minneapolis -What is it?-
Вставка

- Railroads can ship just about ANYTHING, and every now and then, you see something that really stands out! What exactly is this special, HEAVY, and interesting load?
We'll get to see one of the heaviest, largest, and most intriguing pieces of equipment I've ever seen hit the rails, and come through the Twin Cities! The wonderful team at BNSF logistics, made this move happen, and it took months of planning. While most trains race through town, this movement was restricted to a max speed of 40mph. Due to its immense weight, size, and dimensions, this train had special restrictions to ensure it got to its location safely. In all my years being trackside, this takes the cake as being one of the most unique things I've ever seen.

A distillation column, a thermosyphon reboiler and a condenser. Standard petrochemical processing equipment.
Fractional distillation of Petroleum. Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is process used at refineries.
Heat Crude Oil … and various Carbon molecules separate (lightest at Top; heaviest Tars and bottom).
Methane (CH4); Ethane (C2H6); Propane (C3H8); Butane (C4H10); Pentane (C5H12); Octane (C8H18); etc.
Spot on!! I had heard ahead of time what it was, but so many people trackside were baffled by what it was. Thank you for the explanation, and wonderful details on it!
Yep have to agree cracking tower for oil distillation.
From my understanding, that's what it was. Thanks for watching!
Good thing. At least it is wearing protection. Thank you.
Great shot Douglas! ;)
Yes,they are pressure vessels for oil production most move up fort mcmurray or edmonton alberta.moving this type gear need lots planning with railroad,curve,crossing so on.the worse is when the trains involve in wreck yup it happen before and is very costly repair and some end up front judge due lawsuit.most this pressure vessels are built custom built for client need.thanks video😊
Lots of wise cracking going on in here!
I’ll guess it is a cracking tower.
Awesome Railfan video 👍👍👍👍👍🚂
Thx. German potato masher. :)
It’s a distillation tower
THANK YOU!
Anyone that watches Moonshiners would recognize it as a column still .
@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 😂
@@whiteknightcat is anyone positive that they are going to use this for petroleum use ? I mean in the middle of nowhere , that thing would run a lot of 'shine .
They're going boom in Russia. 😎
Yeah, skilled train drivers. Good thing they kept all the wheels on the tracks. You could see them leaning into the turn to help with all that, you know, leaning.
Refinery vessels
Yet a another video that shows how powerful those locomotives are. That one seems to be pulling all that equipment by itself with no problems. 👍
It's actually a pretty light train. Those QTTX 8-axle flat cars have a maximum loaded weight of about 470,000lbs, and the spacer flat cars look like they have a light weight of about 70,000lbs (can't quite read it, but it's going to be something around there). So the maximum weight of the train is only about 1100 tons. That's equivalent to something like eight loaded grain cars.
@beeble2003 that's still impressive for that just locomotive in my opinion. 👍
@@thetreedraggon It's definitely not bad, but it's routine for three of these locomotives to haul a 12,000-ton train, which is about four times as impressive (4,000t per locomotive).
A faceless channel with a real banger ! Nice audio wow
My 1st guess was a cracking tower. Been driving past similar towers on the NJ Turnpike forever.
Thanks 🍭👍
It's a cracking nice tower!
Wonderful video.
The CN ran unit windmill trains in Montreal, I kave a few videos of them on my channel
I had to look up Sweetgrass, Montana. It’s a very small town located right on the Canadian border, south of Alberta province. I’ll guess that it was interchanged to CN or CP there for movement farther north to a refinery in the Canadian tar sand fields. You didn’t say where the load originated. Off-boated in Galveston?
Our office backs onto the end of the CPKC yard in Calgary, Alberta. Saw this monster pass by a couple times as the they realigned it to face the right direction to keep heading north. Ram straight through the the BNSF power
They came from Europe -- Walter Tosto is an Italian company and Idesa is Spanish. I'd expect they'd land it somewhere in the north east but maybe it couldn't be routed by land from there.
Have you ever seen a rotary kiln?
Yes. It's not one of them.
Excellent Video Really Enjoyed Watching Your Video Looking forward to seeing more great content like this video soon Thanks again and have a Great Day!
I estimate there about 38,592 modeling ideas just from this one video! GREAT job covering the difficult lighting conditions. Your narration was spot-on, no "Ain't I a Great Speaker" nonsense that ruin so many otherwise good videos. Thanks for taking your time to work this load.
It's also cool that your videos attract viewers that have first-hand knowledge of this load. That really helps add to the story.
Put me down as a new subscriber o you've earned it!

Cracking tower
Would be interesting to see the fixity points on the 2 cars, the way they secured it but allowed the mounts to swivel.
ethanol distillation????
I suspect the shrink-wrap is to protect it from graffiti, not the elements. Those pieces of equipment are going to spend 50 years sitting outside -- an extra few days of rain isn't going to affect anything.
It's a distillation column
Yep, petrochemical plant towers and vessels. 30 years and I have seen them arrive and installed.
wow nice vid. new friend here -SweetDidoy-
Cool....
Well, I guess I'm too late to say it's a cracking tower.
Spot on! One of those neat things you don't see that often. Thanks for watching!
2:44 local Leo thinks it's something special as well....
He was very curious about it, and actually very chill. He looked in awe as the massive equipment rolled past. Thank you for the comment, and watching!
Thank you 🙏 still ☝️I am puzzled 🤔 name of the cities 🏙️👏👏👏different 👍and 👍🎥👋☮️
new it was a refinery part after seeing it
Great video. Like me😄
I thought it was a wind turbine.
😂
That a cast iron reverse rotation homunculus coupling with self lubricating weasel attachment……
It's weird seeing a train with only a single locomotive on it. I don't think I've seen an example of such "in the wild" since the '90s when I lived alongside a branch of the old Burlington Northern.
Train only weighs about 1100 tons max, so one loco's plenty.
@@beeble2003 Even still, two locomotives frequently seem like the minimum -- I recall seeing a MOW work train that was comprised of an SD40-2, a GP38-2, two gondolas, and a flatcar.
@@foraminuteforaminute4056 True. I do find myself wondering if American railroads really save money by buying locomotives with only one cab, given the amount of money they waste by running them in back-to-back pairs to get a cab at each end.
Popeil pocket refinery
I’m amazed that they only have one engine
Based on the cars, max weight of the train is about 1100 tons -- equivalent to about eight loaded grain cars.
Diesel electric locomotives have a LOT of tractive effort, thus enabling a single locomotive to haul large amounts of tonnage. Thanks for the comment, and watching!
@@SD457500 True, and this isn't even a lot of tonnage.
Optical illusion? It looked like the second mount on the large component was tipping backwards at the curve. Anyone else see that? On the third car behind the locomotive. Starting around 2:45
Nice catch it's a government Secret
Refinery equipment coming from an Italian manufacturer.
The middle one's Italian; the first and third are from Idesa, a Spanish company.
Your moms special delivery is on its way
Ha ha ha! Well played. :p
How can it go thru turns clamped down like that
ITS A FLUX CAPACITOR
Train hits 88 MPH. It is gone.
New refinery. jo blow is not happy.
Who is Jo blow?
a shaft
The loads are either chem trail generators or alien space craft going to Area 51.
Could it be train loads of cash for Zelinsky ????😮.
Cash to finance the Ukrainian pension system.
If this going to Montana you are going wrong way you should go westbound instead eastbound
That was explained in the video .
I actually addressed that in the video; it was EB where I captured it due to clearances, and the route it had to take due to its size. After the last shots, it swung around to the west for the trek to Montana. Thanks for watching!
It's Jeff Bezos' new ICBM for his latest venture, Amazon Nukes
Only available with prime membership 😆
@@sernajrlouis Nope. You're on the target list UNLESS you have Prime.
@@beeble2003 😆😂. Damn, I'm glad I haven't cancelled my subscription. 😂
Ok you win for the most creative comment on this one! Ha ha ha!

It's a trunchion for Russian president
What's a trunchion? Can't say I've heard that before.
Maybe some sort of carbon scrubbing tower considering it's destination,,, part of the great green ripoff,,, always remember you are the carbon they want to scrub!!!!
No, it's the exact opposite: distillation or cracking equipment for the Alberta tar sands.
It could a weapon 4 nuke wars
It's a democrat defuser. Part of the new green deal.
It is what tRump will taking up the butt in prison
