I like trains so much! Yes, it’s so cool to sit on these mechanical monsters and watch the scenery along the railroad! It would be great if I could regard driving the train as a job, but unfortunately I won't have this chance again! Thanks for sharing

This is great. The past (coal) slowly creaking along whilst the future (renewable energy) looms large and majestically over the whole scene.

Now i see why SD70ACE is called thundercabs, because the front Traction Wheel is shaking.
@melissasmith70389 ай бұрын
It’s actually because the cab is not isolated making it louder in the cab

@FFred-us9tw2 жыл бұрын
It's not shaking violently. That's pretty calm and pretty normal. It's called Truck Hunting and often happens on the lead truck because of the traction control system and is amplified by worn rail and/or flanges.

Two questions; 1. Do they have any women driving these big tcoal trains? how long does it take for a engineer togo from a rookie driver to a driver himself? Thanks for a very outstanding video. When they unload this train with the single engine be the lead going back to the mine? How fast was these big trains going? (Mississippi Gufl Coast)
@DivergingClearProductions2 жыл бұрын
Yes there usually are some women on the railroad. To become and engineer (who drives the train) you have to start out as a Conductor. Once you have a certain amount of seniority then you could possibly be bumped up to be an engineer and be able to go to locomotive engineer training classes.

Holy crap did you see the play in those front traction motors that's got to be dangerous
Is it still the case that the EMD AC locomotives uses a single liquid-cooled traction inverter per truck whereas the GE AC locomotives use a single air-cooled traction inverter per axle?

Unfortunately, the Idaho and Wyoming state legislatures stopped providing funding for the Pioneer in 1997, and SD doesn't have any lines good enough for passenger service, just a maze of agricultural lines inherited from the Rock and Milwaukee Road that are similar to their 1910s-50s appearances.
