DJ: Does it make any difference in your view count whether we watch this here or directly on YouTube?

You reckon if you used 55 code rail and stacked it, so only the rails on the sides and top were present, with some short bits to fill in the ends, an HO model of this could be made to work?

I thoroughly enjoy these videos DJ!

I've seen one unloading years ago and was amazed how that rail snakes off those cars to the ground. Never would think something like that can flex so much yet not have a bunch of bends in it from the unloading.

Thanks for the video. I've seen those loaded rail trains down in the Billings, MT area.

I found a video that shows them unloading one.

Thats a good question, and honestly I don't know. Just as long as you enjoy it is what matters.

I couldn't see the cars very well, are they articulated? Usually, they are regular flat cars with the rail bunks spaced so the distance between them on the car and between the cars is the same distance. This car has several long spaces and then a short gap. Anyway, I'd like to see the empty car if you get a chance.
