Rumor has it, the new Nuclear Security Caboose has a soft serve machine in the galley.
-
Another one that might be interesting for a future video: the specialized carriers that BNSF uses to haul Boeing 737 fuselages from Wichita Kansas to the 737 assembly plant in Renton WA. Used to see these somewhat regularly when I lived in Everett.

Great Job with Part 2. It’s safe to say that the majority of your Viewers have never seen or ever heard of these cars unless they’re Huge Railfans. Thanks! 👍🙏

The Dynamometer coach at the 6:08 mark is the one that recorded Mallard's run at 126mph. It was originally built for the North Eastern Railway in 1906 at Darlington and retired in 1954 and preserved. Dynamometer coaches had to be turned at the end of each run as the equipment could only record in that direction, something that computers don't need.

Well done on these videos! If you ever decide to make a part 3, then I recommend looking at the specialized caboose used by the original Auto-Train which was 75% car carrier and 25% caboose!
-
nice to see a Ferromex locomotive in the video, it was a pleasant surprise
-
If you ever do obscure locomotives, look into Haysi #1! A F7B given a little cab and turned into a switcher! Also Alaska Railroad 751, a one of a kind DMU!

I love the way you pronounce English and I think the word "skid-steer" is a fantastic invention. It perfectly describes what it is: it steers by skidding.

AY, IT'S NILE RED!! At 2:48!!😁 That's a cool shoutout man. ^w
-
10:03 I'm reasonably confident the Nuclear Escort Caboose does not actually have a Phalanx CIWS.
-
This was a pretty good video! Part 3 Gang: | | \/

Absolutely fascinating! A lot packaged into 10 minutes. My compliments sir. Subscribing to your channel was one of my best choices in months.

I'm not sure if you've talked about it yet, but the Whopper Hopper actually has competition, the Big John Grain Hoppers are about as big as the Whopper Hopper, and even made a rail ferry company sue the Southern over how massive they where, as far as I'm aware, a few are still in service, with one preserved alongside the Whopper Hopper
-
Yes, an informational video at best, but there was a short part that caught my eye. At timestamp 5:18 it shows you using a BNSF website restricted to BNSF engineers and conductors which is simply not acceptable. If you are a BNSF employee that I don’t know about, that is sure one way to get terminated from your job.

Nice video! Loved hearing about the bromine tanker
-
really appreciate these. Can't wait for part 3! Don't think i've ever seen any of these, but i'll definitely keep an eye out.
-
For part 3 I’d suggest Taconite cars. They’re used in the north shore of Minnesota to haul iron ore pellets to the docks
-
Great video. Really looking forward to seeing part 3!
-
The Whopper Hopper wasn't always in Spencer. It use to be in Rocky Mount NC. I actually caught it when CSX moved it.
-
How about a video about the Pugh transfer cars? Those are the bottle cars that carry molten iron from blast furnace, to the furnace that will finish the product into steel.
