I saw a friend shoot off some tanneriteI asked about it of courseHe said that some guy told him that you can mix nitrogen fertilizer and aluminum sulfide for an even bigger quot;BANGquot;Does this combination actually work? If so, what is the ratio of the two ingredients??
This depends on what you're describingIf it's a new freight car, engine, or whatever, chances are it's built in sub-assemblies and lowered by crane onto a set of trucks or bogies-depends on where you live-which are already on the rails The same concept applies to, say, a caboose or van that is being put on more-or-less permanent displayI saw a video of such a caboose being put on display rails in Boonville, MissouriThe trucks/wheel assemblies were put on the rails first, then the crane lowered the body onto the wheelsAs you might guess, there was a lot of jockeying to make sure everything was in the right placeStill another scenario might be at the site of a wreck or derailmentIn this case, I still believe the cranes would set the wheels and trucks on the rails, then lower the bodies as before, with one major exceptionIf cars were too badly damaged to set on the rails themselves, the damaged cars would be lowered onto flat cars or gondolas (I've seen, and seen pictures of, such combinations) or even truck trailers! Your local library may have some ideas or books about this kind of constructionSometimes books like BO Power and CO Power, also the book about Norfolk and Western's A-class steam engine (A: Mercedes of Steam, I think) have photo-histories of how steam locomotives were built Hope this was of some benefit to you.
they will put them in the track using a crane one by one and they will attach it
They build the tracks underneath the finished train.
A very huge crane lifts the under carriage onto tracksThey then build the rest of the train on top of thisShould train derail, they get a big crane and set it back on the track.
I doubt itTannerite is a mixture of ammonium nitrate and metallic aluminumIt's explosive power depends on the energy derived from the aluminum being oxidizedThe aluminum in aluminum sufide is already oxidized, leaving nothing for the ammonium nitrate to react with nor any energy left to provide any explosion.
