bikkuri bahn Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Happened in Gabon, these are Australian-built EMD diesels. I wonder if these are for hauling iron ore. Link to comment
Nick_Burman Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Happened in Gabon, these are Australian-built EMD diesels. I wonder if these are for hauling iron ore. These locos are for manganese haulage. The Transgabonais was built to carry manganese, however since it is the only railway in the country it also has a common-carrier component with passenger and general freight trains. Whoever said the locos were made in Australia mixed up things real bad. These locos were built and assembled in Muncie, Ind. they have been confused with another batch of locos which are being built in Muncie but assembled in Australia by EDI/Downer Rail for an open-access grain operator in Western Australia.

miyakoji Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 ouch. why not to stand under such things when being lifted... jeff This is completely true. There are so many of these videos on YT, it really isn't funny. It's tragic. There are probably some with injuries/fatalities that people surprisingly have the decency not to post. Stay well away from anything hoisted in the air, even if it isn't heavy. Link to comment
westfalen Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I bet if people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries had had iPhones we'd have lots of videos of steam locos being dropped on wharves. Link to comment
