Love how you go to one place to deliver and end up going to three different places before you actually deliver

Hi Steve! You are spotted on @Wisconsin Big Rig channel! Nice to see Orwell between great trucks! ( sorry for my bad language) 😅 I don't speak English,but I tried! Greetings from Argentina! I see every videos! God bless!

Reminds me of something I heard once in the Army, after several plan changes in rapid succession, and shifting people back and forth around to accommodate these changes, someone in the back of the formation says "Would somebody please make up my mind?". 1SG actually smiled at that one.

I hope that security never has to man-handle anybody there, that gate was getting the best of him.

Reminds me of a guy I knew who was like the wimp in the sand at the beach. Inhaling fresh air he'd probably black out and eating a steak would be too intense just cutting it would be an effort. I would guess changing a tire is out of the question as the jack would buck him off

Quite a lot of locomotives are in fact made here. Also Germany based Siemens opened a giant factory in California where they make loco's for Brightline and several metro rail services.

We delivered that axis boat you was backing the truck up next to

Ha! Small world

Home of the taillight warranty. Once the taillights disappear from view it's no longer your worry. That locomotive in the plastic wrap may have come from the National Railway Equipment facility in Mount Vernon IL and looking at the sags in the wrapping it has the configuration of a SD40-2. Attractive paint and is almost reminiscent of the Fort Worth & Western scheme. While you were on the scale quite a few covered Hoppers and Tank cars in the background and it appeared you were near a grain or potash transfer area. Nice picture at the end of the unloading with the freight cars and cranes to the right Orwell says time to come home Go West Young Man

12:47 The three main railway gauges in Australia are narrow: 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), standard: 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in), and broad: 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in). Light rail for Sugar Cane uses 610 mm (2 ft).

Great video Steve nothing like making 4 drops and then deliver on the last one. Thanks for sharing stay safe Steve.

Love the vids. We watch mostly because of you. You're entertaining, witty, and good at what you do. The quality of filming and camera angles is cracking, and I say this as someone who's filmed motorsport for 20 years. Also, as Brits, we love to see Orwell in all his glory, out on the road, and the scenery of a country we have come to love on our many holidays across The Pond.

Another successful delivery Steve

I use to hate delivering to any port. They are such big places and many designated spots to pick up from and drop. There is personal for all the different spots and it gets confusing fast. You seem to take it in stride. Great video FSC. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring..

I like your cabover Peterbuilt I. Got to drive a black 1985 Cabover Peterbuilt back in 1986 when ever I got the chance it was a nice truck

Love your. Truck. Thanks

There is no good way to get to the Port in Wilmington. I lived there for years it’s possibly the worst designed layout ever. College Rd is an absolute nightmare in the daytime most days

Thank you awesome job. Be safe 👍

Only been to one port brother that's been over 15 years ago was a mess back then couldn't amagin them now. Take care be safe 🙏

Great job Steve 👍👍👍👍

Great video Steve

Standard gauge are railed to the ports. Others are shipped on flat cars( well decks) with the trucks separate, to be installed at the port of entry.

Good job steve❤❤❤

Wow, that security guard was loaded for bear hunting.

Scale loads for the ship to balance it. Nice clip for the loco as it lets people know what it is. Nice truck and we see a lot in Australia both old and even new

A couple handheld walkie-talkies would be worth the weight of the passenger in the pickup.

We have 3 feet 6 wide track here in New Zealand

NRE is National Railway Equipment. They are in the rebuilding and remanufacturing business. Build new and remanufactured locomotives out of used ones. They had a huge complex in Silvis, Illinois located on the old Rock Island property, a facility in Mt. Vernon, IL, and a smaller facility in Dixmoor on the south side of Chicago. They closed the Dixmoor and Silvis facilities, and now do their work out of the Mt. Vernon shop. If it was at the port, my guess is its going to export.

that place was bigger than USSteel. Great video.

locomotives were invented in England not the US. The first diesel locomotive was Switzerland. There’s plenty of locomotives and rail cars built in the US

Yep, max weight and a little bit more. Orwell does it in style.

Yeah, standard gage for most of the world is 4''-81/2"". Standard narrow gages are 3', metre and 3'- 6"". Standard broad gauges are 5'' (Russia),5'- 3""(Ireland and parts of Australia, and 5'- 6"" (Spain & Portugal). The old EMD factort in London, Ontario had a track out of the finishing shop with 5 gages - 1 common rail and 4 others!

Thanks Big Man, that was an interesting delivery!😮 hand signals only those in the know, know. ✌🏻🤙😎👍🏻🥴🍎⚠️😮😉 🇨🇦.

What a bunch of craziness to deliver something that is particularly built in America

Port loads can sometimes be very confusing 😕

Another delivery well done!

That's why you get paid the big bucks VIN.

alllgoood

You have your directions, but can you get there from were you are. Stay safe enjoy the sunshine

What’s up Steve That’s cool bro I just was down at the port of Wilmington. I went to the cold storage and got loaded with frozen chicken , it was 62k of frozen chicken breast and legs 😂 heavy shit

Pretty cool to see the rear wheel steering. General Electric is building locomotives in the US.

i work a few miles away from NRE's main facility, cool place

Did you remember how to get out of there? lol

Railways started in the Uk.

Looks like a fair amount of deferred maintenance at that port, at least regarding pavement. I imagine it gets chewed up with freeze-thaw and super heavy traffic over it.

Use low gear more often on any load to save your driveshafts and the rest of Orwell's driveline, please. The shockload of cab bouncing breaks and stresses all components that are designed to give away to keep a bigger part from splattering, and you're still broke down. The clutch is also getting hot and sticky from trying to slip a ceramic button clutch. I know of a solution to that that's not on the hotrod side of what guys do with trucks. Carbotic ceramic clutch facing pads. Mid-America Clutch VHD clutch.

Ha ha i been there Steve. And i had to go through that gate. And follow a truck. Which kept taking off and i am like ???? Finally one of the supervisor's was getting angry cause the security guard's kept taking off,. And i was like enough of this BS. I turned around and started heading out and the supervisor was chasing me in his personal vehicle. I was hauling a shipping container that had to be on a certain ship. He was like stop that truck. And the gate attendant was like sorry sir u can't leave. And i got out of my KW. And said this. I tried to follow that security truck to follow them to the ship that needed that shipping container on it. And they kept taking off i followed the 10 mile a hour rule. And ur security guard's went way faster. And i had enough u can contact my co owner of the company. And i said i have a dash cam so there's my proof that i was following the speed limit. And the manager agreed to sign the document's. And they had somebody lead the way to the ship. And the Captain was like yeah and i explained to him what happened. And he said one of his worker's told him what was going on.

Knoxville locomotive works in Tennessee is USA built locomotives

You wouldn’t get that hop when starting out if you used a lower gear

Good evening brother

I know i place in Muncie Indiana that builds some of those mre

Most locations in Phoenix metro are $4.99 for cheap gas 87 octane.

You look like VIN Deisel

National Railway Company.

Pure aggravation delivering.

Surprised that security doesnt have cb's to talk to truckers with loads.. No confusion.

They make locomotives in Erie,pa

99% sure I saw you today on 146 north headed into Worcester mass

subtitulos , please

CONTAINER CITY

Export locos. We don’t import locomotives. That looks like a re-engineered old loco updated with new tech.

Standard gauge is 1,435mm (4ft 8½in) everywhere around the world and is used in just about every country around the world, which might be why it's also known as international gauge. And just about every country has railroads that aren’t standard gauge, but they’re usually exceptions. The US exports locomotives; so things aren’t so bad that it has to import them; not so sure about other rolling stock.

I don't know of ANY US locomotive imports. A significant number are exported - both new and used/rebuilt.

@@richardreid6377 You're probably right that it doesn't import any-I’ve rephrased my comment a bit to avoid implying that it does.

scale that rr iron in and out

I thought the rail gauges were standard with their origins in the roman chariots wheel width.

I used to be in lejeune wilmington nice city for 4wheelers not us drivers

Hi good morning Steve,bit confusing with you're escort,would it not been easier if he had come into the cab and directed you that way,here in Scotland we were famous for steam trains exporting worldwide but alas no steam no trains the place they were built is a shopping centre regards ❤

The European trains have narrower rails

I use do built railcars before the company I worked for closed their American shops and moved them to Mexico but we built some grain cars and some flat bed concrete car for Saudi Arabia and the use the same rail size as us cause Norfolk southern had to ship them to a port where they were loaded onto a ship so I know that area of the world uses the same gauge rail

And to answer your question yes we can build stuff like that in America but corporate greed prevents that cause why pay an Americana living wage when you can pay Mexican $12 a week to build the same product

I've never seen that fan of yours working in the truck. Is it worth getting a motor rebuild cause I can't see the wiring being an issue and you not fixing it...Or are you leaving it alone because you want everything original due to it's age and history.

What is the point of scaling while there? Make sure the fire truck isn't missing any bolts? I don't understand the point. It's not based on a gross tare like dirt or rocks...

Your seating position must kill your back! Or will in time

Russia just announced it is halting exports of Diesel fuel. Does this mean the u.s. will be exporting fuel to Europe where the big money is and screwing the American market?. Some say it is because of the war but I have been getting a different story. Russian diesel was making big export profits. The problem is that their refinement capacity has been deteriorating. This has meant that diesel for consumer and more importantly agricultural use has been in short supply. There have been pictures on Russians Telegram channels of gas stations with signs saying no diesel available. So the export freeze is more to make sure they have enough for their winter and military use. We will soon see how this affects our market.

Export locomotives

Most African, sub Saharan countries, have 3' 6" guage.

wheres the load your hauling ??????we ever going to see it? OR NOT???????

would you just show us the damn load your hauling or do you even have aload on there after all that we finely see the load that you were hauling

Steve I got a message to contact you on Telegram but I was scammed once so I don't trust it thought I'd let you know about it because I know you don't do Telegram and keep up the good work sir
