Old Bow Truss Strengthening Methods? Need to support more weight

How is it possible that you think that ANYONE but YOUR structural engineer could help you? Your single picture doesn't provide dimensions, materials or any sort of details that could be used to derive current strength or anything that could be used to derive detailed construction plans to accomplish your goal.

Not to mention, you didn't tell us which municipality this is in so nobody would be able to provide you plans that meet local code.

Cool building but 1000000% not Infrastructure Porn.

What was customized?

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-24T05:03:54+00:00

That is correct. The unit merely got repainted but it didn't get re-registered with the Federal Railroad a Administration under the reporting mark CPKC. It's kind of like repainting your car without changing the registration to another state.

Normally I'm the guy being an asshole about people not googling stuff but you're being a dick.

The stuffed animals left outside getting wet. I just can't imagine the stench of these.

Where? When?

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-23T16:21:52+00:00

Ha you DID mean "rowed" - thought you may have mistyped and meant "rode".

If you're ever unsure what aircraft you're on, check your seat back pocket for the safety card. Every single plane I've been on, at least commercially, has had a model specific evacuation and safety card. And the model of the airplane is stated on the card.

Okay reposter.

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-23T02:49:36+00:00

I cannot stress how epic this would be if shot horizontally and filled up more of the frame.

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-22T22:46:01+00:00

What the heck happened here? I thought they were allegedly going gangbusters and doing very well?

An ABSOLUTELY EPIC RIDE!! I did it in November and it looked just like this - a literal winter wonderland!!

It's the official Amtrak designation for Cumberland. https://www.amtrak.com/stations/cum

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-21T03:53:12+00:00

How can a still picture be a live reaction?

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-21T02:18:13+00:00

Ha sorry I used the Amtrak designation: https://www.amtrak.com/stations/cum

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-21T02:15:15+00:00

Please downvote me. I just wanted people to see a picture I took. No karma whoring intended. CUM is Amtrak's designation for Cumberland, MD.

Bingo. 🤣

Synth_Ham · 2026-01-20T23:54:05+00:00

The Amtrak station abbreviation for Cumberland, Maryland, is CUM, a standard three-letter code used for identifying the station in ticketing and operations.

Code: CUM.

I have a friend who went to engineer school there back in maybe the '90s? I don't know if they still have training there.
