The two pair of wipers work separately. In over words, you can turn the wipers on to wipe one window only so all four of them don’t start at the same time. They have to be turned on separately as a pair

Been there, done that. Conductor saying don’t let her stop, don’t let her stop. Don’t worry about the Mule, just load the wagon. That is the way NS ran their stack trains, one engine with 20 cars, which in reality was a hundred, 5 car per carriage.

Reminds me of Campbell Hill at Rushsylvania Ohio on the CSX, we usually barely made it up that hill because CSX was always putting junk power on heavy trains. And those DC units don't like to work hard at low speed like that, this kind of duty always burns up the DC traction motors.

The best way to ruin a locomotive, without enough speed the traction motors will overheat. In fact sometimes we see real lousy planning of the freight service in the US. Look at this difference in Europe. Also a uphill train: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIKsloyPdteHecksi=WAOPqwiZjZQOsFbN

Please learn what the hеll it is you're talking about you sтupid tea drinker. These locomotives actively monitor and limit the temperature of the traction motors. These aren't 'baby's first locomotives' like you use in Europe. They can run slow drags like this all day every day and never miss a beat. And these are just DC locomotives, AC traction motors can be held at a stall indefinitely with no damage.

You would think they would put enough power on to move it a little faster or at least have a couple of helper unit's pushing in back till it got over the grade. Might save wear and tear on the equipment.

You guys licking this idiots nuts who calls himself an “engineer” is a joke. He has no independents set at all and is just toasting those traction motors. ALWAYS set 15-20 pounds of independents when your under 3-4mph to circumvent slip. And hold the sander button down till your finger falls off.

You're sтupid. Actually zero neurons firing. This isn't trainz on your mommy's ipad. Wheel slip is no big deal and just a fact of life in American railroading. You don't set the indy at ALL under power unless you want a talking to from management. The locomotive handles wheel slip entire on its own and sands automatically whenever it sees fit. You don't need to tell it to put sand down when it's already doing it!

Only locomotives with AC traction motors can pull hard at this slow a speed. Locomotives with DC traction motors have a minimum speed that they must be moving at. Otherwise they will damage the traction motors.
@pootispiker2866
@pootispiker2866 10 ай бұрын
Not true. Most electronically controlled locomotives limit the current to the maximum continuous amperage of the traction motors, or in these locomotives' cases, drop the current back to keep the motor's temperature from going too high.

@unaizilla
@unaizilla 10 ай бұрын
because they should rebuild the track from scratch and purchase new rack locomotives because you can't just retrofit a adhesion locomotive with pinions, and even then it's very time consuming to cut off the power, couple new locomotives to uncouple them shortly after when regular locomotives can climb gradients up to 4% just by relying on adhesion, at that point just add some bankers pushing from the tail and uncouple them at the summit
