Lifting a train and fishing a car!

Published 2021-02-09
Unfortunately we did the job too fast and I did not bother with filming too much thinking it would be a boring video, which is why I'm also including footage from a recent car fishing job. The driver of this vehicle somehow lost control and ended about 200' into a sewage drain. Hulk, my 50ton rotator, was used to lift the car using a spreader bar and set it down onto level ground facing the exit.
Both videos are short but to the point and I hope you enjoy. Make sure to subscribe as I continue to publish new videos weekly again.

Rerailing a railcar with a heavy wrecker, AWESOME!! I LOVE seeing you work with your dad. ALWAYS good stuff!!

Hey man, for future reference! The lift points, are those circles you see just outside of the trucks where the axles are. Next to the side ladders for climbing up... Just a conductor tryna make things a bit easier for you next time!! Lol
-
For future jobs: the barrier at the end of a railroad or tram track is called a stop block or bumper, and when a RR car is off the rails like that, it's said to be "on the ground".

For those wondering.... yes you can push an empty railcar by hand. The design of the wheels calls for hardly any resistance. Now u know why a single locomotive can pull so much with such little effort.

Rail cars have lifting points on all 4 corners right above the truck assemblies; note the square hole integrated into the frame of the car, but you did great grabbing the coupler/draft gear.
