I've been a an engineer for 31 years. I drove truck for Schnieder National for a few months in 1997 between railroad gigs. I got to pull a couple of Roadrailer trailers back then. Pretty cool to see them actually on a train. Schneider had a number of trailers back then for designated roadrailer service. We had to be careful when hooking up because of the tounge on the front of the trailers not hitting the fairings on the back of the tractor. I run for CN since then. Would be to see that service from Winnipeg to Chicago.
ОтветитьThe old Triple Crowns (30+ years ago) used to have the "railroad wheels" attached to the trailer. That was a lot od weight being hauled around by the truck tractor and also limited the weight they were able to load into the trailer. That was about the time when JB Hunt ordered all those containers and chassis and revolutionized "Over the Road" trucking.
ОтветитьStrange looking things, like to know more how they were connected. 🇬🇧
ОтветитьUse to see them all the time in Upper Sandusky and Crestline when Conrail was around. I even think Triple Crown had a place in crestline out by the old roundhouse.
ОтветитьI went to school up in Culver, not far from Logansport. Great video and thanks for posting.
Ответить130 trailers on that consist .
ОтветитьHow do the trailers not stretch or break from the weight. No support from rail boogie to rail boogie
ОтветитьI'd like to see how they hook them up together. Then a kinda silly question have the train hoppers figured out how to catch a ride yet ?
ОтветитьWho wants to bet against railroads paying less for non-road use diesel fuel than farmers pay for their tractor fuel? Anyone?
ОтветитьIt is interesting that a truck trailer can handle the force of pulling the long train behind it.
ОтветитьGraffiti is an eyesore and cheapens cities. I hate it! EXCEPT when it is on rail cars. Trains are the perfect canvas for graffiti and I have seen some really creative examples.
ОтветитьNo blinking lights on the last car?
ОтветитьNot a roadrailer on headend 🤓
ОтветитьIf the cars are only pinned to the car before them and built so light what happens in a accident plus how would the braking system compare with brakes intended for toxic loaded cars Another railroad saving money and America paying the price in a derailment And there's thousands every year
ОтветитьHow do they link each individual boogie to make them brake...?
Nowadays, all the trains, as far as I know, are always with the brakes activated. The locomotive sends pressure to open the brake pads so the train can move.
Are these boogies connected with pipes.... or this train has no brake system.... ? 😨🥴😨
Lovely dogs at the end !!!! Of course, leader by Chesie 😂
Good video. Bravo !!! 👏😄
Swift used to run their Trailers Like that running thru Bakersfield, CA.
ОтветитьJT you are a kind soul....i am a shut in and your YT content is a lifesaver. Thank you sir for including north central indiana as logansport is one of my old stomping grounds
ОтветитьJaw Tooth have you ever been to the Rochelle Illinois rail diamond? Its about 60 miles west of Chicago. Union Pacific and BNSF crossover there it has up to 80 freight trains a day.
Ответить130 trucks. All Triple Crown. When he moved the camera. I counted by rhythm.
ОтветитьDon't you just love getting the encore of a Road Railer train? We all do.
ОтветитьNever saw that before!
ОтветитьWhy are the RoadRailer combinations going away, is it a safety issue or is it just an unpractical and expensive method of movement?
ОтветитьMy uncle worked for the railroad years ago and he had a regular passenger car that had steel railcar wheels that were deployed by a motor lifting the tires above the rail and then turned the steel wheels by friction so it would ride on the rails
ОтветитьWELL THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YELLOW FREIGHT LEADERS EMBEZZLED TONS OF MONEY, SHORTAGE OF DRIVERS, GO BACK OLD SCHOOL TO SOLVE THE ISSUES.
ОтветитьVideo of how they get the trailers on the trucks would be interesting. Thanks! 🙃
ОтветитьIs the Air Line through the trailers?
Ответитьhadn't senn that before . . .
ОтветитьNot trucks! trailers.
ОтветитьI remember them being tried out in the UK in the mid-1960s. A whole train was built and demonstrated. Nothing came of it and I guess it was all scrapped as containerisation took over completely (at the docks as well). Travelling cranes just hoisted standard large containers from flat wagon to road truck to ship. I cannot see how a single rail axl;e per roadrailer unit could have matched the speeds at which bogie flatcars travel.
ОтветитьBeing truck driver due to bridge law of a trailer I'm surprised they don't break in half with force on those frames
ОтветитьNever seen anything like that before and I didn't think those trailers could withstand that amount of pull on the frames..
ОтветитьI always thought that pulling trains on the interstate was rather crazy.
ОтветитьThanks, Jawtooth. Yep.....the RoadRailer's are living on borrowed time.
ОтветитьWhat does the triple crown trailers carry what type of product
ОтветитьStop the music
ОтветитьNo place for hitch hikers on those road railers.
ОтветитьI havent seen a triple crown train in years. Used to see them all the time and it was cool
ОтветитьIf I don’t see NS hauling the road railers, only other railroad I see hauling those is BNSF. BNSF sometimes hauls those on NS tracks just as NS sometimes haul those out west on BNSF tracks
ОтветитьRailroad diamonds doing a bang up job .. not the most graceful ride tho.
On the banks of the Wabash cannonball.
How much draw/pull can the truck trailers handle?
ОтветитьYou going to do any more videos with millionforse
ОтветитьI seen one of these in spring of 2019 in Danville, IL on the NS main there
Ответитьwhy work it in usa, and not possible in EU ?????
Ответитьi see the Road Railer often in Lafayette, IN. I've only ever seen it pulled by a single NS locomotive. It has a maximum of 150 trailers.
ОтветитьSo, where does the hobo ride?

That road railer was something that I had never heard of or seen before today !!! It was really cool !!!
ОтветитьHowdy
ОтветитьI am guessing all of the trailers weight is pulled by the first trailer king pin? I haven't seen one of these trains, since living on the east coast, at age 14. Guess containers will replace trailers.
ОтветитьI used to see them coming through Laporte on the Norfolk Southern. NS was the only one that used Triple Crown I think.
