Interesting video: run around brake hose; I didn't knew that - would be interesting to model:

Bypass hose

Neat video, and I didn’t know about those hoses either.

Defective brakes

Technically the car has to have a waiver from the FRA to move with a runaround hose. With a runaround hose the car's brakes are inoperative, since Federal air brake rules require 100% of the brakes to be operative out of origin, the railroad has to get a waiver to move the car with the brakes inoperative.

Tow strap

These also make for a good tow strap.. 

 

Don't ask how I know.. But before you ask, no it was not me getting pulled out. 

Think before you post, try to be positive, and you do not always have to give your  opinion……

Unless it's a line of road failure, then you can move it to the next repair point.

FRA?

FRA?

 

For over two years now the FRA around here has not been a factor, its a good time to be a class 1.

Interesting.

I have rarely seen a train on the Port Road. When I did I caught the tail end by the time I reached a clear shot of the tracks. It is a scenic line along the river with almost no online industries. 
 

I started a Nscale version of this line once upon a time (26 years ago).
