Funny you mention that. We had an SD38-2 CNW 6669 later became UPY815 rebuild (i think it was more a repaint and Remote control locomotive conversion than a actual light rebuild) that overspeeded past the usual notch 8 rpm. Being the railnut i am i knew this. The first hump shove as the Y815 "John Doe" shoved up the hump lead and as his person got to the hump his (my favorite) locomotive's engine shut down. Every blue moon it would do that but it always had that one extra notch sound to it. I have video and audio but, i can only show it when i either get fired or retired.

Several years ago I was at 5 row watching trains. Nice 2.7% up grade when they come south bound from the river. Here comes a newly painted GP38-2 in the lead followed by three (3) dirty looking SD40-2 h/hoods and about 75 cars. All 4 locomotives were running wide open and moving at about 5-7 mph. YES all 4 were pulling. I know that NS has the “3 under power rule” but it clearly wasn’t being observed on this day. I stood there within 10 feet of the track. The sound, smell, moving air,, & rumble was almost supernatural feeling. They could have run me over and I don’t believe I would have cared. I would have met my maker in bliss. My girl was sitting on my motorcycle about 50 feet from the tracks. She had never been that close to running locomotives before. That night she told me that the sound and rumble was so intense while sitting there ...that she had gotten wet.

Under service load the alternator is resisting the engine trying to force it to slow down so there is no surging at power via the load resisting the power. When run up testing there is no load to slow the RPMs so the governor has to step in at the limit pulling the RPM back, then it repeats. Governor surge or "oscillation".

@douglasskaalrud68655 жыл бұрын
EMD locomotives have 8 speeds or, "runs" that correspond to electrical transmission changes. When the throttle is advanced one run the handle clicks into a notch so the first run is notch 1 and so on. Run 8 is full speed so the throttle has advanced 8 notches thus, "notch 8." A lot of railfans hear a loud engine and automatically claim it's in notch 8 when in reality they don't have a clue.
@slowpoke96Z282 жыл бұрын
Actually Art, full rack is the slang in the diesel world. There is no throttle plate that opens and closes. The throttle commands the voltage the generator sends to the motors, notch 8 being the highest, full fielding the generator, which loads the engine, sending the governor to command full rack, making the pump go full fuel. That full fuel is the equivalent of WFO. The engine is at about 900 rpm and peak power (theoretical). It's a symphony happening 16 times every revolution.
