SURPLUS INSTRUMENTATION AND MV CABLE IN MANDAN, ND
A rail spur changes how a drum leaves Mandan. A reel that would be a flatbed load anywhere else can go on a rail car if the timing works, and an industrial park with track running through it thinks about freight differently. That matters most when a four-thousand-pound drum has to move.
That is why the surplus here skews toward process and terminal work. Shielded instrumentation cable from a control house, TC-ER from a tray run, tray cable in several constructions, and medium-voltage cable from a distribution change. Sellers in Mandan describe what the jacket legend says and we go from there.
Process and terminal cable
Instrumentation cable is usually small gauge, twisted pair, individually shielded, and it arrives on a spool with a foot marker printed every two feet. If the marker is legible, the footage is not a guess. Photograph the marker at the end of the run and the print on the jacket. Pair counts run from one pair to dozens, and the jacket print will tell you which if you read it in good light.
TC-ER is a different animal. It is heavier, it is often sunlight resistant, and it comes off a tray in long pulls. When a tray run gets redesigned, the pulled cable usually will not go back on the reel. Coil it in a figure eight and tell us the approximate length.
Medium voltage from yard work
A 15kV run is worth describing carefully. Conductor size, insulation type, shield construction, and whether the cable is concentric neutral or tape shielded all matter. EPR and XLPE behave differently in storage, and a reel that sat in the sun for a summer will show it at the jacket surface.
Terminations get cut back, so the last few feet of an MV cable are often gone. That is normal. Send the reel tag if it survived and the length the counter shows, and note any jacket damage from handling. A drum that was re-reeled in the field should be described as re-reeled, because the wrap tension says a lot about how it was handled.

Loading and freight from Mandan
Mandan material moves on I-94 by flatbed when a drum is involved, with LTL for palletized cartons. Industrial addresses here often have a dock and a forklift, which shortens the loading conversation. Say whether the reel can be lifted by the flange or has to be rolled up a ramp.
