Ah the Amtrak's DMUs. So good that the they had to handicap them to meet regulstions. Now were runninf loco hauled trains with 3 coaches when 3 of those DMUs could serve the same job ehile being cheaper, faster, and more efficient 😊

Great job. Not! Just because it’s moving that tonnage doesn’t mean it should and for that amount of time. Your burning the goddamn traction motors out tards.

Actually, there are six gated doors linked together in parallel to allow them act as a 3-set units. It's a common misunderstood detail we in model railroading make too.

It’s crazy to think that during this period there were locomotives built in the 1930s and 1940s that were still in Amtrak service, and some of the other locomotives would remain in service until the mid 2000s. Half a century of technological advancements in one power pool. Granted that’s not actually that unusual when you consider original SD40s are over 50 years old, and GP7/9s are still in service some 70 years after they were introduced. But it’s still strange when you consider this was the pinnacle of American passenger service at the time.

Really telling that even in 1980, after enough mergers and corporate woopa-doops to make your head spin, the Gs were still just too reliable to take out of service. If not for all the frame cracking and the super-toxic transformer coolant (mm, delicious Pyranol) I reckon the old gals might've even lived to see service in the new millennium. Who knows, right? Cheers to the intrepid uploader--80s video equipment was no joke.

@davegeisler78022 жыл бұрын
Why stress that SD18 so much ?? Look at the amp meter and slippage. Jeez ! , at least put one on the rear to help shove it up the grade. Let's do the math here 4,250 tons = 8,500,000 lbs , that's a bit much for one 1,800 hp SD18 Locomotive.
