Edit: Figured it out, I used the shortened 'share' URL that YouTube gave me when I uploaded it, you used the long one. What's weird is that the short link works while you're editing a post, just not when viewing it normally. <shrug>

Now the question is whether those two previous numbers are the numbers of these flatcars or if there are actually even more flatcars. Also I wonder if the add-ons for the 7-part LRVs can be added to any flatcar. From the photo it looked to me like the larger LRVs are supported slightly higher off the flatcar deck and didn’t appear to be extensions of what is used for the 5-part LRVs. I was a bit surprised that they would do that rather than delivering the larger one in two pieces and marry them on-site but this method seems to work for them.

It’s not easy to split. It’s not like a toy train; there are thousands of wires and hoses running from one end of the vehicle to another. Mechanically it is not designed to come apart easily. That is why they are shipping them assembled. The Edmonton flatcar is completely different from ours ijmorlan. They are not “extensions” but a full LRV-length structural beam, more like a bridge. An extension would just bend and fall off.
KevinT: you have to manually type “&t=0s” to the end of your (long) video URL. Also: it’s impossible to share a video from iOS I discovered: there is no way to get the long URL from the YouTube app after uploading.

There is a workaround on Android - paste the short URL into the Chrome address bar and it will load the mobile version of the long URL. You then change the 'm.youtube.com' to 'www.youtube.com'.
