#1: Fucking no. #2: Can you imagine how much noise it makes to dump those rail cars? #4: Emu Tipping? #8: Hard not to get tapping with that guy's beat...
#5 Not the first time I've seen that happen. Won't be the last. The question is what it will look like when one of the really big ones fails like that? I don't think I'd want to be anywhere within a couple of thousand yards of it when it lets go.
Went to Hawaii once. Went for a drive and saw hundreds of windmills. Tons of them were buggared. Absolute eyesore. I understand that in the whole life of the stupid things, they will never produce enough power to compensate for their own manufacture. Can't even recycle a lot of the bits.

There's a fair amount of slack between each coal car that adds up to a lot at the ends of the train. Before they built the double dumper at Robert's Bank, I spent many nights with my foot on the deadman pedal, to keep the brakes released so the single dumper could push the train through. Occasionally the slack-action would bounce a wheel over the chocks and they'd have to pull you back, to get a car dumped. With nothing else to do but sit there, you could try to sleep, but it wasn't very rewarding. A clanking bounce forward would be followed with an equally abrupt stop about a minute later. Lots of breakdowns, and they shut down operations in the wind, I sat there for 12 hours many nights. tallow pot
#2. They bring in 100 coal car trains to these power plants every day, or every other day. At a nuclear power plant the entire fuel load is four flatbed semitrailer trucks stacked with boxes six feet high every two years.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant. When the inevitable tendinitis kicks in he'll be lucky to be able to lift a coffee cup.
They make a brick tong that would be faster and way easier. Nice work shoes too.

Lol, was wondering if he was playing double bass drums or a bass and hi hat.
