Saved this vid, thx. I like old jointed rail that still earns revenue, and motors too, 2 & 4 cycle, first, & second gen.

E. Deerfield is nice. It's a small Class 2 yard, with a bridge for viewing. I think it's CSX now (in 2024).

Is this the same bridge they rammed a bunch of car carriers under and can-openered the tops of like 6 cars?

#12 is definitely an ex MEC unit. They're the only railroad I know of that carved a notch into the cab for the horn, and also with the xenon strobe light mounting pads. Only thing that seems to be missing is the bell over the engineer's window.

#72 had a failed exhaust valve. That's what the chuffing was about.

@leehuff23305 жыл бұрын
New York Central and Pennsy liked the run long hood forward as well under the premise of collision protection. By the Penn Central days, the emphasis had switched to long hood trailing and visibility (as well as one could expect with the high nose power).

Like what the guy above me said, literally everyone but NYC and Pennsy ran them short hood forward

Those are spark arrestors. American locomotives didn't have silencers until fairly recently and at most had baffled exhaust manifolds.

I know that some of the fans on top a loco are for cooling the electric braking elements. Where is the radiator on the engine. Surely the engine is water cooled, right?
@bulletz92808 жыл бұрын
They are water cooled yes. 1st gen diesels split the radiator between the front and rear, the central fan cools the dynamic braking resistor grids.

Rumors, and actually happened once. You can NOT park a 567 under an underpass for too long, the hot exhaust will melt the structure on the bottom, which soon a few years later, which cause a huge accident, with bridge collasping.
