[RJ] I'm bad at railroad trivia. [Railroad Jeopardy]

In this third episode of our RAILROAD JEOPARDY! series, the train nerd friend Leighton creates the question and puts me in the running as a contestant! He came up with some brilliantly hilarious categories that had us all dying with laughter. We are also once again joined by ‪@Admiral_Ellis‬ , make sure you check his channel out!

"Train goes gadunk gadunk gadunk gadunk" sounds like the train is about to fall apart at any speed.

Excessive volume, for me? The 10 levels of how something railroad works are the kind of videos I watch to wind down at night, because they're interesting enough to hold my attention so my mind doesn't race and they're calm and even enough to let me spool down. I get good and asleep, KZbin autoplays this video and there's train whistles.

Every LNER Steam engine from Edward Thompson through his successor Arthur Peppercorn had electric lights. And there were 2 British engines to have headlights when in the US before Flying Scotsman’s 1969 USA Tour. Those were the LMS Patriot Class “King’s Dragoon Guardsman” (I forget the number) in 1927 and another LMS engine Coronation Class 4-6-2 Pacific type #6229 “Duchess of Hamilton” disguised as #6220 “Coronation” for the 1939 New York Worlds Fair.

28:29 to be fair, locomotives such as Jones and Lachlan Steel number 58 just didn't have brakes. Like, they were not fitted with a braking system. Or a coal bunker, for that matter. They just had piles of coal in certain areas, where the fireman could grab some to top up the fire.

@35:38 - I believe the rule is worded "half range of vision *not to exceed* 10MPH". It used to be "half the range of vision *or* 10 MPH" but that got abused as being "10 MPH" for all occasions and they had to re-write it because of course. 😂

I knew Alan Pegler in his later years - he inherited a fortune from his dad, in a Porcelain Empire (yes, he made his money in the toilet...) and both bought Flying Scotsman and the Ffestiniog Railway (my involvement).

18's blast nozzle i never heard about. Eureka's blower pipe was during the Victorian iron horse roundup. Nozzle fell off in the smokebox so they couldn't get a draft at all so when they lost pressure they were hosed.

[@jacobramsey7624]

Hi Hyce, so I've been watching your videos about stuff that is going to happen in Railroads online and it makes me very excited. However, I do have a question concerning when these new locomotives and cars will arrive. I know they will come out after the spline updates but now that you are going to incorporate Railroads from all over the world in different gages it makes me wonder when we will get these new locomotives and cars. Yes I like the idea of having more stuff to do in Railroads online with the different gages in all but for new it would be nice to have some new locomotives and cars to play with, especially the ones you have shown us all ready. In a nut shell, my question is what needs to happen before a new locomotive or car can be added to Railroads online and about how long can it take? Good luck on all your projects and train stuff!:)

[@Hyce777]

Need to get the spline update finished and bug free, and then more cars and locos. :)

[@Spook_Boi]

To add to the Blue Dumpster. Have you ever seen the working steam Thomas or heard how awful the ride in it is. I talked to the engineers during dowt at Strasburg and they told me to go home put every heater I can find on top of my washing machine throw a brick in it then stand on top of it for 8+ hours on heavy wash and that’s basically what running Thomas is like.

[@Quackagate]

Hyce if you listen to pod casts i would suggest listine to "well theres your problem" its a podcast about engineering disasters with slidesbthey do a podcast and accomping youtube video about about engineering disasters(go figure) but they have done a a few that you might find interesting such as episode 7 witch on the lac-megantic train derailment and subsequent explosion, and episode 17 wit h is on the concept of the atmospheric railway when they find out that the first train to reach 100mph is actually just the locomotive (well the equivalent of the locomotive) decoupling from the rest of the train and rocking off in to the distance with a terrified Scottish guy holding on for dear life. But be warend that most episodes are an hour plus and quite often over 2 hours.

[@crazyjack3357]

i got a question I'm assuming steam boat coal shovels and steam train coal shovels were generally shaped differently. But what about a coal shovel off a steam boat ferry that was owned by the railroad to ship there steam trains across. Would the railroad just have the steam boat fireman use the shovels that was meant for the use on a train because easier to order one kind of shovel head and they would have an abundant of those heads.

[@jaysonlima7196]

Not sure about railroads, but I'm licensed in marine steam and in the days of hand fired coal the scoops (shovels) were sized to the boilers, but # 2 was a common size in the boiler rooms. In the coal bunkers where the trimmers worked (to keep the coal level to prevent shifting) they would use whatever they could get in there, and rakes as well.

Is Restricted speed different in the US to Canada? Here reduced speed is "A speed that will permit stopping within one half the range of vision of equipment" and Restricted is "A speed that will permit stopping within one-half the range of vision of equipment, also prepared to stop short of a switch not properly lined and in no case exceeding SLOW speed. When moving at RESTRICTED speed, be on the lookout for broken rails. When a broken rail is detected, the movement must be stopped immediately and must not resume until permission is received from the RTC or signalman."

[@Hyce777]

Yeah that's a smidge different. We don't have reduced speed as a technical term to my knowledge. Restricted speed by some definitions also means be ready to stop short of other trains, derails, switches, etc.

[@157RANDOM]

@@Hyce777 Ah. The derails thing is sort of implied in Restricted for us. Reduced speed exists to basically allow us to operate without the extra caution while still being on the look out for equipment (equipment, by our definition is any cars and/or locomotives that can be handled on their own wheels in a movement.) But without a speed restriction. Theoretically a speed that will permit stopping within one half the range of vision could be any speed if visibility is good enough. Restricted only really exists in CTC when you have a pass stop authority or are entering between signals.
