  I choose to believe that, at the start of the video, the transformer is being carried by that forklift. And I don't care what anyone says. 😂

  Looks like they welded everywhere except on the doubler plates

  @beeble200314 күн бұрын

  The "weld on doubler plate only" notice only applies to the angled part of the deck. Welding on the main flat deck is fine.

  are those blocks of concrete stacked on the corners of the railcar? Are they ballast? That's quite a bit of weight!

• 
  @whiteknightcat9 ай бұрын

  They're for counterbalancing the load. Large substation transformers do not have centers of gravity that line up with the centerlines of the vehicles that carry them. The three large cores inside are just off center. Alone, this would result in the flatcar tipping to one side unacceptably, so the concrete blocks are added to counterbalance this offset. If the transformer case is small enough, however, it could be loaded off center to compensate.

  Surprised you didn't walk down behind it around the curve to see the power. There should of been a builders plate on there. Could of panned over to the flatcar in the grass instead of looking at the wheel bottoms 🤔.

  Check the facts here... There is a stand alone television tower at the foot of the KCPT studio at 31st and Grand in Kansas City. This may be that tower, however, it was built decades ago by KCMO-TV (CBS affiliate) Kansas City and was a skyline landmark because there were lights up and down the tower which were lit at night; KCMO changed it's call letters to KCTV before the turn of the decade, and moved to nearby suburb Fairway Ks on Shawnee MIssion Parkway. The studio at 31st and Grand, next to the tall tower was taken over by KCPT Public Television of Kansas City but that station reportedly has a tower of its own elsewhere in the KC Metro. KCTV reportedly continues using its tall tower at 31st. It would not be accurate to call the original stand alone tower "KCPT's tower'.
