Keith George Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just to clarify about the 70 that was dropped at Newport. Was it dropped by lifting gear on the ship or a dockside crane.? Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted January 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 4, 2014 IIRC it was dropped by the ships cranes. I'm not sure what part failed but it was at one end of the loco when it was still within the ship and one end hit the deck rather hard with the other end still attached to the crane.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted January 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello all, What's the low-loader the 70 is resting on? Compared to others I have seen used to transport rail equipment it seems to have a ludicrously small number of wheels. Unless the locomotive is exceptionally light, or hollow? cheers Ben A.

Steadfast Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) I'd suggest because it's used on private land only (the boat and the dockside) that axle loading limits that apply on the highway aren't a consideration here. As they're leaving by rail, the trailer is only really needed for putting them on the ship. Th trailer has ACL branding, so is owned by the shipper. jo Edited January 5, 2014 by ewsjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are special flats they use in the yard, they wont be travelling out on the road on that trailer! There's a name for them but I cant remember what it is. The 2 A4's brought back from the states used them also and were trans shipped again onto proper road trailers. In the case with the Fugly's, they'le just be dropped (pun not intended) straight onto the railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2014 Even if they did the froth being generated would put it out. Stewart The froth reached fever pitch yesterday, ranging from "they are moving now to Washwood Heath / Rugby / Cardiff / Newport (?)" to "They are being taken by low loader to Rugby / Washwood Heath / Cardiff" (delete as appropriate). I hope Big Jim has a bath before he works them as there's going to be photographers everywhere - unless it's cloudy when there will only be the usual few, and it it's raining even fewer - wonder what "trains are more fun in the sun" magazines will do then. Oh I remember, publish over processed images trying to make a sunny day out of a dull one. Must dash as I've got to get my tent set up on Derby Road to claim my space ready for whenever they move.

Do you know where the first two were loaded onto the ship, I thought it was Halifax??.....and where this one might be heading to be loaded. So no news of 70802...???

Bob I think that 803 and 805 were loaded at Baltimore and the ship then called at Halifax. If Baltimore is used again then a routing via Virginia isn't too far out of the way.
