I hope that coupler comes off when it's on the road. I would hate to have that thing come through my rear window!

Can we sandwich a sleeper into a locomotive cab, so you can just stop anywhere at a rest area, catch a nap....

Is there a excavator with a grapple sitting on the other end of the car? Do you have a picture of this end?
|
Mathias, I do have a photo of the opposite end. I will try to post it soon.

Looks like the middle of the flat car is sagging a bit from the weight of the ties.

On the bnsf you can pull eight loads with the brandt road railer / the knuckles stay on when on the road.

I agree with the first comment. It sure would spoil your day having that coming in through the rear scree. I just love the photographs of all these wierd and wonderful things that run on the railways but could hardly be called "trains". Please try and post the view from the other end.

This appears to have three drive axles. Very unusual.

Really, you guys are bellyaching about the coupler and not the semi it is connected to? If that thing rear ends you it's not going to be fun, coupler or not.
As for the flat car sagging--ever seen one with a couple loaded trailers on it? Those sag too.
