Locomotive Inspection with Influencer/Subscriber Dustin Gray!

This is the "will it run" pre-inspection. Next week is the start up!!

[@robinengland5799]

I admire your knowledge and enthusiasm to take on starting a railroad with all the challenges I'm getting everything up and running, not to mention all the maintenance. People like you are what has made America a great country.

[@eastterminalrailway5975]

Robin Thank you, Brian

[@eugenetswong]

@@eastterminalrailway5975Thanks, for all your work, Brian. I'm shocked at how much you knew. Well done.

[@garykuipers2696]

What a coincidence! I hired with the EL Rwy. in 1969 as a towerman and retired as a conductor with NJT in 2013. Much success with your operation.

[@ernestpassaro9663]

You are a very knowledgeable man love listening to you

[@elsdp-4560]

Hi Gary.

[@danrohrback5909]

Thank you for the video tour. There was a time when I was active in Locomotive restorations for several local train museums. One of the engines was indeed a GE 50-ton. I was working at a large chemical plant at the time, and they had a dead 50-ton in the boneyard. I persuded the company to donate it to a local museum. However, one of the conditions was that I was responsible for restoring it to service and getting it moved. The candidate museum was in another state and 90 miles away, so it turned into a considerable project. That engine also had the bolt-on coupler pockets, which I knew would be a problem if moved on its own wheels. The plant was served by a short-line railroad. The shortline was nonchalant about it and moved the engine ten miles into town by coupling it behind the road power on a 40-car train of loaded grain hoppers! Then in town was interchanged to the Class I for the 90-mile delivery. The chemical plant is a large shipper, so the Class I was perhaps more accomodationg than usual. The 50-ton made the trip as a special movement at 15 mph . At the far end, there was an interchange to a second Class I and about a mile to the museum. The Museum guys had some friends among the Class I switch crew, and they agreed that the Union crew could run the 50-ton that last mile under its own power. A couple of other notes - On that locomotive, the batteries are in a compartment under the cab floor on the engineers side. At least back in 1993, and then for replacement batteries in 2014, I was able to locate a supplier for the large 8-volt batteries. I recall those batteries, albeit rebuit, were more like $200 each rather than the $800 you quoted in the video. The prime movers in that locomotive are Cummins model NL-855A. The locomotive was the version with side rods. The chemical plant had taken it out of service when it lost an axle counterweight while in motion and stabbed the side rod into the ground. Didnt derail it, but bent the side rod about 90 degres. Incidentally, I was able to include the sevice manuals for both the locomotive and prime mover with the donation, so could get some photocopies or scans if needed. Word got out to several other local train museums that I was some kind of a hotshot about acquiring locomotives. I went on to either acquire or arrange donation of a 35-ton Whitcomb, a 44-ton Whitcomb Centercab, a GE 44-ton, a GE 45-ton, and an ex-military GE 44-ton (Low-clearance cab with MU!). The Whitcombs and the 45-ton had Cummins HBI, the two 44-tonn had Caterpillar D18000.

[@eastterminalrailway5975]

Dan That is amazing, you got it moved! The batteries under the operator tells me the locomotive was older than ours, the Cummins 855 engines are much newer than ours. You get an A+ in locomotive knowledge and also in the field portion of this course. Well done. Prof. Brian

[@eugenetswong]

Wow, Dan. That's a lot of great work. Thanks. I hope that you could ship 1 or more to Canada some day.

[@Whipple1]

That last engine compartment door was “tighter than a crab’s ass.” LOL Cheers! Whipple

[@teddill4893]

I would love to see the cab restored to as delivered paint. Updated controls and instrumentation are fine, but the paint would be beautiful. Great run down on what to look for and how well taken care of this locomotive is.

[@jimnewton6148]

Truly can't wait to see it run. I'm loving watching you get a railroad up and going. This country needs more railroaders like you and son.

[@M4MED86]

I'm from north central Ohio myself,and,back in the day,my great grandpa started a junkyard. After he died,my grandpa took it over. Ever since I could remember,I always remembered an old wooden passenger train car sitting in the junkyard,that my grandpa and his buddies would sit around,smoke cigars and talk. As I got older,I became curious about it. To find out....and I'm not sure if it was my great grandpa or my grandpa.....but one of them had it delivered. Also,I'm not sure if it was on the old PRR tracks or the old T&OC. But anyways...the train stopped at the nearest crossing and a crane lifted it off and sat in on a flatbed. The flatbed drove it down to the junkyard and was unloaded.

[@georgew.5639]

The Middletown and Hummlestown railroad in Harrisburg, Pa operates GE 60 and 65 tonners. They could probably assist you in knowledge and how to.

[@davidhuey3201]

Noticed you sprayed the door handles well on both sides, but seem to forget to spray the guides which are clearly rusted and restricting operation of slide bar. A bit more spray in those areas as well should help the handle operation considerably. Can't wait to see this engine up and running!

[@t.c.bowling1934]

I noticed the drag too. The handles are probably fine you would feal a huge difference oiling the straight bars

[@alanwasserman868]

What a great video. You gave us a ton (maybe 50) of information and you explained it all so well. It's so much fun watching your railroad adventure progress. Thanks so much, can't wait for the next video!

[@fsctrucking]

Very excited to see this grow.

[@ralphrichard8431]

The 50 ton GE is a nice little Locomotive and I'm happy to see that the East Terminal Railroad has it now

[@dougbethune4554]

Thanks for the tour...it brought back memories from 1966/67 when I was working off a similar unit at the GE Powerhouse in Erie PA bringing in/out coal cars to the furnaces.

[@DieselCreek]

hahaha Thanks for the Shout out bud! Kroil is the best!! its really great to get sponsored by products you use everyday anyhow! They have Kroil with silicone that would be perfect for keeping those handles moving!

[@eastterminalrailway5975]

D.C. We are sponsored by White Castle, but they don't know it yet! Thanks for watching, you are a hero. Brian

[@alcopower5710]

Exciting times for your channel and your railroad. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge 🇺🇸

[@canadiantimberwolf1]

At 12:25, the very next thing I would have been curious about would be the condition of the oil in that case, how clean the oil was, and if any grit was in that oil...

[@ralfie8801]

SD-40, SD-70M, the pre EFI 70 M is basically just a more modern SD-40. Dustin's job is to look the locomotive over and answer questions. Your job is to ask questions as he inspects various parts and systems, and then look all worried as he answers your questions.

[@chanwittwer2736]

I have a great idea; when you get the 2021 painted how you like, you and your son should paint your first names in cursive, one name on each side of the cab below the windows.

[@tom7601]

Wasn’t there a Union rule that required a crew of two for any locomotive that weighed 45 tons or more? That was the reason for the 44-ton switchers.?.

[@drakbar5957]

I’m so impressed with the loco purchase that I’ll be buying more shares of ETR when the market opens! PB Blaster and Kroil are great products - buy em by the gallon. And be sure your tetanus shot is up to date. Can’t wait until “Will It Start” 😃

[@pinky5011]

Kroil is the best

[@RACaptialRegion]

This was awesome. Extremely excited for this locomotive

[@tehpw7574]

46:01 IT was not BORING. Having performed hundreds of Acceptance Inspections on SE transferred from command to command during my service time in the Navy, all those methods you used to inspect the locomotive were spot on.

[@eastterminalrailway5975]

I am humbled by your comment, Thank you for saying that and Thank You for your service. MK1 Williams

[@mkendallpk4321]

Looks like you got a gem of a GE loco there. It surprises me how little rust it has for something as old as it is. I love these little GE 45-70 tonners. Sure hope she will start OK.

[@rearspeaker6364]

looks like to me to just change the oil and coolant change the compressor and traction motor gearbox oil, then start her up.

[@tonyczuleger4591]

Spray the rods slide point on each door as well, thier you will have friction binding the hardware.

[@fsctrucking]

Always easier and cheaper to truck single piece loads up to a certain size and weight. Certainly best value to get the job done.

[@eastterminalrailway5975]

Yes, but a cab over would have been cooler! Brian

[@trainmaster0217]

Just another fantastic video. Very interesting. Keep 'em coming!!

[@vmiley1]

I must admit I have a little info overload, but very interesting to watch anyway. Don't forget your tape measure in the battery box. :)

Morning guys. What an absolutely fantastic video on your 50 toner 😃 I’m so glad I came in from the beginning and along for the ride 👍🏻 My auntie married a GI after the war and moved to Cincinnati and was asked to visit many times in the 70s so I could see the trains. Unfortunately I never made it and still haven’t to this day ☹️ But watching your channel it absolutely fantastic seeing you build this railroad 👍🏻 Take care as always. Cheers Stevie 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@randyclyde4939]

Thanks for a GREAT video! Just seeing you dive into the explanations and to hear the energy and confidence in your voice, gives me great encouragement that you will be successful in your venture! I'm really getting hooked on your channel. Now, I'm "waiting on the next video" at the end of the new one I've just watched! Congrats on the new 50 tonner! Your "inspection" was a blast to see and I'll be watching it over and over just to absorb the information you've provided. Thank you so much, I've watched with mile optimism since your first video. Now... my optimism has greatly increased and I count myself as a real fan of ETR!

[@mattl9687]

This is so cool. For being a 65 yr old loco, it appears to be in great shape! I'd say you made a great purchase and can't wait to see the start-up.

[@alexmodern6667]

I agree, just looking at frame n oil tells me enough..... She needs a good bath, Lil elbow grease and those upgrades are great......Not to shabby at all!😆

[@vernonmatthews181]

Looks like regular maintenance was adhered to, no matter the cost, when items became obsolete, an alternative was followed up with. A real gem from the period.😎👍👌😷

[@squidkid2]

Admit it - this is just a 1-1 th scale model railroad!!! Now you need an engine house. Great video. Favorite railroad? 60's on the NYC from the steam repair shop down to Grand Central Station from the North. Over the Harlem River and down Manhattan Island to 42nd street. And I know everybody these days says you call it Grand Central TERMINAL but ask any New Yorker and they'll tell you it's called Grand Central Station. Or just Grand Central. When I would ride passenger service from north of the city south to Manhattan you would see every kind of motive power you could imagine. Switchers large and small, M.U.'s, road diesels. Hell I'm surprised I didn't see hand cars pulling some of those commuter trains. Also loved train watching when I lived in L.A. There were dirty Southern Pacific tunnel units. Super clean yellow and blue Santa Fe equipment that ran over a small arch bridge elevated over the street I lived on. Also we would go up to the the passes north of L.A. and watch the U.P. pulling really long freights with multiple diesels up steep grades out of the L.A. basin and don't forget the Techachapi loop area. Probably the best place in the world to train watch.

[@petermagoun7457]

Fascinating video! I'm very impressed with your detailed knowledge of the history of the numerous components in this loco. I mentioned in an earlier comment that I and most other ETR fans would love to hear the details about your work experience over the years - it is obviously very extensive. Looking forward to future videos and explanations of all things railroad. There will obviously be a wealth of knowledge made available. Love this channel!

[@raykiii]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. That is a great video. Can't wait to see it run. I always liked the look of side rods but I think you changed my mind.

[@johnpritchard2772]

I just so enjoy the walk around tour of your locomotive, also, your personal experience's and knowledge about the various aspects of the locomotive components and systems! Many years ago I visited Cummins diesels in Peterborough (UK) and saw the production and reconditioning process of the various diesel (marine / lorry and car (land-rover) engines. I use to work on Caterpillar crawlers and they (engines) and were an machine all to their own!! Looking forward to the next video!!

[@mlkesimmons758]

Congratulations. I share your enthusiasm. You have asked for feedback. I have just recently been pulled back up from conductor to engineer on the UPRR. I never get on, off or work around or in between cars or engines with out PPE . We have watched a lot of your great videos and I off times ask myself, "Where are your gloves?"

[@dmorgan28]

Cool video. That was a good rundown on the locomotive. I think you made a good choice. Can’t wait to see it running. 👍👍👍❤️

[@dannun757]

You may want to have the local FRA mechanical inspector come around and give you a list of repairs necessary to meet CFR 49 rules. You will need to replace the windows that don't meet FRA standards and add pilots on both ends of the locomotive. Also may need to update the air brake equipment. Pretty solid locomotive overall though.

Dustin is a class act. Had the pleasure to meet him in Marion, Ohio!

[@woodfyr]

Before you try to start her up, the First thing you need to do is bar the engines and compressors by hand for at least a couple of revolutions. Chances are that the rings will be stuck. No telling how long they have bee just sitting without being turned over. The longer the bar, the better. Great video. Good Luck.

[@Hyratel]

Well it was apparently in service up to around 2016 - 4 years? Still good to bar it over but it's not going to be a hard time doing it

Those chains on the chain drive are dryer then a popcorn fart. Find the master links, and take them off and let them soak in a tub of oil. Give them a few days then take out and see how much slop is in the links, replace as necessary.

[@tmerkley6406]

One thing that I do to "recycle" my old motor oil, is to use it for lubricating hitch pins, nuts, bolts old tools etc... this allows me to save some money but still get things loose. I can dilute it with diesel fuel if needed. But, I do a lot with the old oil since I do blacksmithing as well. I can use it for tempering or hardening metal or for treating wooden tool handles. It keeps the handles from drying out or splintering especially if they get wet and then dry. Just another option to keep expenses down. Also would be great for brushing on the chain drive and then wipe off the excess with a towel.

[@carlonknight9772]

I have just started watching you viedos, I have watched most of them in the last few days. I like what you are doing, a railroad of your own, that is great! I have owned several railroads, they were all HO scale LOL! I am from a small town in Northwest Alabama, we have a BNSF line through here so I grew up watching the trains come through and still do.

When talking about wheels you mentioned turning them on a lathe. In late 50’s I dated a girl whose father was a machinist for CB&Q and ran a wheel lathe.

One day a couple of the mechanics were preparing to start up a GE 70 tonner that hadn't been used in several years. I had just stepped inside the office building and heard the engine fire up and then heard the motor run away followed by a loud explosion. It blew a pretty big chunk out of the side of the block with engine remains scattered all over the shop area. Luckily no one was injured.

[@eastterminalrailway5975]

Hogger You have to have a shut down plan with everybody briefed before you push the button, Maybe someone took a piece of the throttle linkage out, no one noticed and away it went. The quickest shut down is air, not fuel. That is how the Detroit Diesel Emergency shut down works. Brian
