QUOTE (Al)About 10 years ago we had the bottom drop out of one of them and melted the rear boggie to the track. Ended up burning the bogie off, replacing it with a temerary two axle one and 'very' slowly dragging A Half ladened torpedo on 1 1/2 bogies back to the shop. We bust every rail joint on the way...
Ouch! I suppose a couple of tons of molten iron can do serious damage to anything if it escapes! No wonder the vessels are built like an inside-out space shuttle!
The more bogies the merrier I think, better to have 3 and 1/2 to move with. Was this in the UK? Where is Corus making steel today?
