great catches of the empire builder rescued helped by a BNSF unit and a stacker train next as well as a gran train after that as well, but sorry about that problem with the door opening for no reason when there was no train coming through the tunnel after that

@gabrielstravels Жыл бұрын

Btw, here in Italy we actually used to have a tunnel (called *Galleria dell'Appennino* on the Porrettana railway from Pistoia to Bologna) that used ventilation fans just like the Cascade Tunnel to clear out the fumes from steam locomotives. The only differences were that: 1) If I'm not mistaken, the Galleria dell'Appennino (Apennines Tunnel) didn't have doors unlike the Cascade Tunnel 2) The ventilation fans were steam powered, whilst on the Cascade Tunnel (like other tunnels in North America including Flathead, Moffat and Mount MacDonald) the fans are electric powered The ventilation system is no longer in use since the line was electrified in 1927 More here it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleria_dell%27Appennino (in Italian)

1:26 why is there a BNSF locomotive hauling an Amtrak train? What happened to that P-42 behind the BNSF locomotive?

@pootispiker2866 Жыл бұрын

I've seen that happen from a few times, it's usually due to control system problems with the p42s. They work fine while trailing, though.

I expected a tunnel that includes some huge elevators lifting or lowering the train to the next level. That is a cascade tunnel. That Cascade Tunnel is just another large tunnel. No special effects. No cascade for trains. What a bummer.

The major rail terminals in NYC are all fed by underground tunnels, and the trains that go in and out of them must be electrically powered. But at times, in the passenger area of Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station,l, I have smelled diesel exhaust - when I reported it to a railroad employee, he said that once in a while a train has to be pushed or pulled into the station by an auxiliary engine, which might be diesel. (And this is probably related to the main tunnel under the Hudson River, which is ridiculously in need of repair after nearly 100 years of operation.)

Yep, this was the fifties--such a different time from today. Back then America and Americans had the self-confidence to believe that they could solve any problem, rather than just sitting and whining and playing with their 'smart' phones. I was born in '55 and certainly wouldn't want to return to that time, but I miss that self-confidence.
