š„LORAM Rail Grinder Starts a FIRE then PUTS IT OUT!š„

Published 2022-04-29
These LORAM rail grinding fires are common while rail grinding due to the sparks, and dry climate. No, I did not call the fire department, I could see the water cannons down the track and LORAM is trained to take care of these rail grinding fires, should they arise. LORAM extinguishes these rail grinder fires burning quickly and effectively!

Great footage! š„š„š„š„

Thank you for documenting the firefighting capabilities of the LORAM rail grinder train and its extra fire "engine" in the form of the hirail water pumper truck! That was neat to watch the the LORAM people put out the fires that were created by the sparks from the rail grinder. The rapid expansion of the first in the dry grass along the railroad right of way is a small version of the wildfires that had been plaguing the western states the last few years.
-
i love the way the guy sits on top of that goofy little pump truck in his little chair putting out the fire like its an every day thing
-
Nice catch!! One of these visited the Reading and Northern two weeks ago, and it started a couple brush fires here as well. Glad to see that LORAM and the railroad make sure to stop them before they become a serious issue
-
Great video Rowan and thankfully that fire wasn't in a wooded area bcuz that could've been bad! It definitely started spreading quickly w the breezy conditions. LORAM was definitely on top of it to get it extinguished quickly. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort!
-
Always enjoy watching the LORAM GRINDER,itās even better at night! Good catch RR
-
There are a Lot of Sparks Flying but these men and women are true professionals and keep things under control. š
-
Hey Double "R". You probably knew that LORAM stood for " long-range Mannix" a company that used to clean ballast along the track for railroads. Founded by a Canadian, Fred Mannix around 1954. I know, TMI. Lol. Great vid as usual. Great catch!
-
I'm always amazed at how quickly LORAM gets the job done here. In, out and they're done.
-
You know what Rowan? This situation is a PERFECT example of mistakes, even if itās a bad mistake, as long as you have a friend who will help, youāll be ok!
-
nice job loram first you start a fire in Grover NC and now here
-
Always killing it with the videos man!! I never have the time anymore it seems to go spotting so I live vicariously through you so thanks!
-
I'm an old man. I NEVER knew they ground rails. The more I learn about trains, the more I get why people are so fascinated. Absolutely enthralled by the maintenance and repair equipment. SO cool. Imagine that fire with a gentle breeze behind it. Yep, that's how fast it goes.
-
Never knew rail grinding was a thing. Thank you YouTube recommended and thank you for sharing.šš»
-
I've seen these on the tracks at night, and it gives the phrase, "Something evil this way comes" a whole new meaning!
-
I like seeing the driver of the HiRail pumper holding onto the steering wheel .... like he's steering the beast! Lol!
-
As always another awesome video Rowan.
-
Wow that's amazing. The stuff nobody gets to see except the people who do it. Thank you for sharing.
-
Within a matter of minutes, it could have been a disaster. Thank for the quick action š
-
This train starts fires then puts them out - how liberating š
