0 Paul B. 523 Report post Posted February 4, 2004 It didn't happen on my shift! Looks like that one fella is getting a new truck out of this deal! I was watching them unload railcars the other day. They had about 6 of those small unloaders and 2 large units working at one time. I've seen a train with an oversized load dump its load at a tunnel a century ago when I was consulting for P&G. (That didn't happen on my shift either.) That one lost a .75MM piece of equipment. There were a couple of heads that rolled over that one. The rail company is supposed to check sizes but they had a short tape measure also. The insurance company was not real pleased either. The only ones that made out were the fabricators and machine shops - they got to make a bunch of new parts and re-assemble it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted February 4, 2004 Thet op one would be about a $30,000 glider. Basically they take the old drive train and put it in a new truck. That happens more often than you would think. Of course, it is always someone else that it happens to... Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
