Preston still owes money to Bob Lowe for the paint damages done to his locomotive when he ran it at this joke of a railroad.

Using wife's phone today not her opinions At first I was trying to figure out what it was them to see a running High Hood but also in revenue service not a museum piece this is awesome I'm just seeing this but it's from 6 years ago I hope it's still in service I'm going to try to find it it would be a shame if it ever gets cut up well found it not revenue as moving freight but excursion rail road just as good it's running

Do they start on all cylinders or open a decompression valve on a couple to make cranking easier on the starter?

I didn't see anyone go out to close them after a couple of minutes running so I'm guessing they didn't.
@ralfie8801 3 жыл бұрын
They run it through a few rounds with the test cocks open in case there’s any coolant on top of a piston. Then they close the test cocks, if they bothered to open them first, and fire it up. So they start on all 16 cylinders.
@ralfie8801 3 жыл бұрын
@Daniel Collins Condensation doesn’t get in there, it’s coolant if anything. They don’t leak like everybody seems to think they do, and it’s not mandatory to open the test cocks when starting them up. I’ve been working on them for 25 years now, and I can say that pretty much nobody opens those and turns the engine over anymore. With the size of the dish in the top of the piston, it would take a half gallon of “condensation” to even come close to hydrolocking it.

Either that or the batteries are old and will not provide enough power to start the unit after being shut down Alco engines had an air start system It needed 100psi to start the engine Unless you had two units you didn't shut them down and besides you better be wearing ear protecters will you start

So was the fuel new or left over and how long can a locomotive sit before the batteries and engine oil are useless ?
@ralfie8801 3 жыл бұрын
The only thing that hurts the oil is water or fuel contamination. Locomotives don’t care how old the fuel is, they run on just about any diesel fuel as long as it doesn’t have any water in it.
