That’s the first time I’ve seen a hi-rail semi actually have a train horn, let alone an air horn instead of using the normal car horn. Impressive CN did this.
Really this is no big deal. Once you got the cars rolling, it`s nothing to pull them after you have overcome the initial grunt to start the process. The big deal however, is stopping them because that truck weighs far less than a locomotive. It better have plenty of air compressor capacity to operate the brakes on the cars because that is still a large amount of weight to slow down.
Really nice apply idea use common truck cab to do job on rail, hope it is not very expensive for every country, due to rail track will do not load very much as locomotive engine.
i have seen these hi rail trucks working on the cn maine line in kingston ontario were i live but i only see them when they work on the rils in the spring
As I understand it, the move falls under Maintenance-Of -Way - so an engineer and conductor are not required - as they would be if a locomotive were used.
U wrong man bnsf all so have a peterbuilt with a cummins in it. It's not about the engine. It u no any thing about trucks. It's al about how u gear them.
I find it interesting that the truck uses rubber tires on a steel rail. I wonder if that provides the ability to produce higher tractive effort per pound of weight on the drive axles.
Can that diesel truck being direct geared by transmission and not electromotively driven be able to pull those railcars up a 13% grade? Like across Pennsylvania.
Hi, I am interested to do the same, I have the truck and the railroad adaptor to pull installed, but have no information about the brake system, can you help me with some tips?
Difference is that in Russia they would be on a dirt road whilst crossing a flooding river and the driver would be a 75 year old woman on her way to the market
that awkward moment.. when you wait for a train at a railway crossing... and a truck with long tail shows up...
Wow, first time for me seeing a truck equipped with a knuckle, air line, actual train horn and pulling cars, impressive
lawdog490 There's a video out of Australia that shows some very heavy duty trucks pulling quite a lot of loaded cars. Pretty impressive stuff.

❤Awesome wonderful workshop posting operacion fantastic rodolocomotive karryl Gondola congratulations pictures to all of you 🎉
Love Those Hazard Lights On That Truck.
I would love to buy that western star when it retires neat piece of apparatus and modern rail history
I wonder if this is the same truck I caught a couple years ago? The one I caught still had the WC herald on the side though. Thanx fur sharin'!

wrong comment.
+Ankhnybayar Battulga Makes perfect sense to me. Maybe you better explain your answer other than destructive criticism.
I'm with 1960gambit.
Truck is quite light indeed but it also has rubber tires. that provide much more grip than steel wheels.
sic22l but if you slam the brakes on that truck it could push it off the rails
That CN Rail truck is the one that bites the dust
boy that cn truck can pull a lot of train cars.
That's how railroads work -- there's very little friction between a steel wheel a steel rail. Also, empty flat cars are relatively light.
I love that horn! :)
is it weird to find this adorable
That was bad ass cool nice
But that horn❗it sounds identical to ELS 503 AAAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKK!
I didn’t know they could pull cars too!!!
😁Big truck haul just about anything including train cars.
00:23 it sounds like something died. I'm not sure what but something died.
This is one of the of the oddest things I have ever seen

Now that’s not something you see everyday.
😁Can you imagine hauling train cars with this truck along a manual transmission?
It sounds like a regular train but in truck form
Trainsformers, locos in disguise!
CN power shortage calls for trucks to do the work
Really nice apply idea use common truck cab to do job on rail, hope it is not very expensive for every country, due to rail track will do not load very much as locomotive engine.
ํYou can see and use multi function inkjet printer this apply is similar, don't you?
Huh... this kinda puts things into perspective
I would say to kitbash one and buy a cylindrical covered hopper and then cut the top portion off and rebuild it into this car with styrene.
That's pretty cool
What kind of license do you need to run this machine, truck Class A CDL, Conductor,Engineer...Cool equipment.
There's a glitch in the Matrix.
Very nice !
That horn reminds me of NS's sd40-2
Because the nathan P5 was on a lot of SD40-2 and in fact was on a lot of early 90s and older NS stuff
What else can rigs can haul here in the US and Canada? A Train I guess, well thats what this ol' Western Star is doin here! XD
i have seen these hi rail trucks working on the cn maine line in kingston ontario were i live but i only see them when they work on the rils in the spring
Serious rig. Probably good for 110mph? Let's see what it can do! :)
Big rigs are pretty strong vehicles.
Interesting.
(Always show entering a grade crossing in case someone gets hit.)
What kind of training does the truck driver have?
Nathan P3 horn?
"I was born a truck but now I sexually identify as a train."
Oddly appropriate in 2019...
Technically called a "railcar mover"
@Lazys The Dank Engineer I’m gay and trans and I found it funny! Your the problem with the world
CN needs to take care of their tracks
As I understand it, the move falls under Maintenance-Of -Way - so an engineer and conductor are not required - as they would be if a locomotive were used.
Gettin away from Thunderdome
yeahhhhhhh👍🏼😂😂😂🎊⚡✌🏼😝🏆🎇
What an oddity.....
Cool
I thought this truck was running through Miami manitoba which doesn't have anymore railway going through it.
The problem isn,t yo pull, the problem Is to brake
Im sure they thought it all out there captain obvious
The truck has an air compressor to operate the train brakes.
I saw one of these on the highway once but never pulling a train
Can it pull oil tanker train
Hey, it's a legitimate train.
Why doesn’t it have a bell?
Go home Truck, you're drunk...
ASDF I like TRAINS
Me: Nope
I LIKE
TRAIN TRUCKS
Me: Yep!
They're open hoppers, not gondolas. Hoppers empty through the bottom; gondolas through the top.
Where does the power go - to the small rail wheels?
ifyou look closely you can see there are two drive tires making contact with the rail which is what's pushing it.
ce type de camion peut servir a latelege des wagon pour des long convois. cest uine idee inge
nieuse
I want one
It'll only set you back $980,000.
0:50 I thought that was a tornado
How would there be a tornado when the sun is out and there’s no storms in sight😭😭

U wrong man bnsf all so have a peterbuilt with a cummins in it. It's not about the engine. It u no any thing about trucks. It's al about how u gear them.
Some heavy trucks had + 700hp but I believe here isn't the truck engine who is pulling the train.
It is the truck engine. What else could it be?
Klakson e persis Sepor....

it has to, i don't see how it couldn't.

The steepest grade in the U.S. is Saluda Grade in North Carolina at 5%.

How does a truck like that have a railroad horn
This work horn. stupid comment
Ok.... Just wondering lol

He didn’t use his horn at the crossing
Er, he did, at both of them.
Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s almost like seeing an elephant with the head of a cow
Silly truck thinks it’s a train
are them flat cars 40 footers or are they 50 feet?
And its got a flag on the last car, hi-rail probably not equipped for F.R.E.D. !
Its not a bit to heavy for a truck is front is in the air and he smoking black i tink it made it sufering
avec tout le systeme integre que je vois ce camion seul pese plus de 30t
Go home, Truck. You are drunk.
Does that truck have two horns? one for on road use and one for rail road use?
Yes. The train horns are under the bumper
Thats kind of weird, all and all it must suck because your riding the gas pedal.
Que pasa si este camion choca de frente con una SD70ACe?
How many hp does that thing have
Nathan P3
Cc 206
what kinda cars are those
Ballast hopper train cars. Or if you're talking about the truck, they're called hi-rail vehicles.
parodiying russia
Difference is that in Russia they would be on a dirt road whilst crossing a flooding river and the driver would be a 75 year old woman on her way to the market
