Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Great video, some nice new machinery there, thanks for posting. Do you know what assembly plant / dealership it would have come from?

Imperial Crane's brand new LTM 1500










Manitowoc 10000



Tadano GT 900XL

What the Woc has seen lately

ALL's AC 1600



Imperial Crane's obsession with Sany





CSX Engines from a derailment that happened in Indiana about a month ago, story is the train derailed and some of the cars blocked the adjacent tracks, well another CSX train coming down those tracks in the opposite direction pegged those cars and caused that train to derail




Another CSX derailment right by a local job that we work, coal train this time, this is what it looked like about 2 weeks after the clean up had started




Bottles job, this is the job that is right by that derailed CSX coal train above, those cars are filled with molten steel for a steel plant we service, they are about 3000 degrees and let me tell you, they are hot when you have to walk between them and make the hoses/knock off hand brakes



NS Crane

why the open gons between? aren't you glad you work for NS? CSX seems so accident prone lol

Anyone have much experience with those Sany's? Call me biased, but ever since I saw their LTM 11200 knockoff broken in half on the test pad, I've hoped I never work under one of their rigs. Maybe I'm just too much of a home town fan...

However, its no coincidence that company policy won't let us use any Chinese rigging products.

Yeah im glad i work for NS instead of CSX, all CSX seems to do is put stuff on the ground, but NS did derail last week somewhere between Elkhart and Toledo, put 20 intermodal tubs on the ground, tore up both mains..... made it an easy day for me since no inbound or outbound trains going east were able to pass.

as far as the spacers between all the bottles, to be honest im not entirely sure the reason behind it, when i hired out thats how it was done and has always been done so to me i didnt need to have a reason, i just knew thats how it had to be moved..... now im curious so ill have to ask next time i work the job

what really surprises me is how much those bottles can hold, i dont know the exact quantity of material but i know when they are loaded they weigh in at around 200t, they just dont seem like that much material would fit in them
