All of the engines in the power move are unfortunately destined for the scrap heap. They have long outlived their working life.

Were you around when the railroad was still regularly using SW engines and slugs?

What the heck? Santa Fe Gp30 #2437 was involved with Kismet train collisions on June 14th 2020. However, it survived from the wreck and it was retired and it never run again and it was sold into LITEX forever.

19 LOCOMOTIVES!! REALLLLYYYYYYY what was the reason for that long train?
@Southern_Plains_Railfan Жыл бұрын
The reason for its because BNSF is getting rid of their excess locomotives. Almost all of those engine can’t be used anymore, so BNSF is selling them for scrap.

@@0fficialdregs Unfortunately those poor babies are already dead. Most of them have sat for years or even decades on storage tracks in Galveston, and they’ve been stripped of a lot of their parts. It would be too expensive to get them up and running again.

As far as I’m concerned, yes. All of those deadhead engines had been sitting unused in Galveston, TX for years, some of them decades.

@Southern_Plains_Railfan Жыл бұрын
Those are slugs, which are locomotives with nothing but traction motors, a frame, and a big weight on top (though some do have cabs and dynamic brake units) Slugs are used to boost the tractive effort of the locomotive they're attached to, but they must be tethered normal engine in order to work, since they cant produce their own power.
