Thank you for the very nice comment Lowell. I just do my job here, I'm only 1 cog in the wheel. But you are right, we are very fortunate to have such a great company to work for. A lot of other corporations could learn some lessons from what we have here. Everyone is dedicated to keeping the coal moving and do whatever it takes to make that happen. When the company prospers, we all the workers prosper along with their families and the surrounding community.
Thank you and glad you and glad you are enjoying the home movies Dan. We really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.

Dave.... Thank you for sharing things about "railroadin" that otherwise we rail fans would never know existed ! Your videos are always informative ! Thanks again !!!
Good evening, Dave. Boy, I fill your pain. I have, over the years, got towed back a siding to get in the clear. I have little red ballast regulater in Hummelstown pa need the rear end rebuilt. It has the teeth broken off the rear ring gear. It's built by Canron Tamper company. The nice thing it has no electricity to run everything. It's all hydraulics over hydraulics. I am still pulling for you. Glad you got it running. One ton of stone, one tie at a time.
Trying to find an electrical problem can sometimes be a nightmare as you well know Samuel. We put a rear end in this regulator couple of years ago outside on the coldest day of the year. I got a video on that. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Boy, seeing that gaggle of wires makes me go cross-eyed! As you said in the video, it was good you guys had that guy to come in and track the problem down and get the show back on the road. 🤠👍

Thanks Dave like you say that's railroading which is why l love it allways something different every day or night...loved seeing those wheel sets parked near the wagon maintenance shed be good if you could tell us stuff about them wheel profiles, springs, wear marks etc...thanks Dave l do love your channel mate regards Doc from Down Under in Australia
Thank you for the nice comment and your welcome Doc from Down Under. I do have a video that tells all about car springs. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you Brian, but I had nothing to do with it. The mechanics are the ones who got it going again. Had mechanics from several different companies come in and look, it was a nightmare trying to get it figured out as you can imagine. Thanks so much my friend for dropping by tonight and may you have a very good day.
Thank you for sharing Dave! Complex machines doing complex operations require complex electronics and hydraulics. Then you need someone who can repair them, it is a real dilemma to have the mechanics to keep up!
Your absolutely right about that Raymond. Finding someone who can diagnose those problems is the key. I hate electrical problems. We really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
And you had better hope that you have a well regulated electrical grid if it is off the commercial power. It took us over a month to find why at Odark30 an engine would shut down. After having the Voltage chart recorder on it that long we finally caught a little spike that came down the lines. So it was back to the drawing boards for the manufacturer and new AC battery chargers, larger batteries, and more opto-isolators finally solved the problem. The tiny spike would still show up but it no longer had any affect. It was so much simpler when everything was done manually.
electronics malfunctions just stink! troubleshooting electrical issues are bad, time consuming and frustrating! it is great that they were able to get a new controller! so often when they are older, no more parts! hope it keeps running well. keep smiling and sharing these wonderful videos! have a great day Dave!
Your right about that Barry, many parts are obsolete for the older stuff, we were lucky. I hate when electrical problems happen, it's not my cup of tea. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Sometimes we have had to adapt parts for newer equipment to work on our older stuff. Example adapting SAE parts for metric parts. We had to do that recently with an engine thermostat.
Your right about that Gary, specially with the old equipment we have. Stuff is great when they are working, but sometimes a nightmare to try and fix. Thank you for your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 All the equipment on our Thoroughbred farm is technically antique except the horses! There mostly newly made by the sires & dams. The 1st 100 miles are the most difficult breaking them in.
Great stuff once again Dave.. always something as they say.. glad they got it going for ya again, and awesome of you to show us the stick. Cool seeing the workings of those parts.
Looks like a greasy mess under the hood, I'm glad it's not me working on that! That controller was pretty expensive. I would have guessed a couple grand at least! 🤔
Your right about that Mojo, but if anyone could figure it out, I would put my money on you! Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Dave I spent my work life fixing track machines.What folks need to know is these machines are out in all kinds of weather and the control systems are subjected to heat ,vibration,and corrosion from moisture getting into so called sealed boxes.Stuff that kills wiring !Also a lot of track machine parts are adapted from other less severe applications ie automotive .The machines can easily be 20 years old and that takes its toll as well as having multiple fellows "improvising "around problems over the years.I had a regulator once that floated between Forward and Reverse all on its own, back and forth from standstill .A 3/16th dowel pin had sheared in the hydrostatic control valve ,wont describe how the operator demonstrated with his body what the machine was doing but got a laugh from the crew . Chasing these faults can be the most frustrating soul destroying thing but when you nail it,happy days !Thats Railroading indeed Cheers
You are so right about that Chris, trying to find an electrical problem can sometimes be a nightmare as you well know. And like you say, sealed doesn't always mean it's sealed plus over time and weather the seals can leak moisture in. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you for the nice comment Derrick, the guys all did a great job. We really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
It's bad when things break down out on the line, I know it. Driving a double unit train one motor stopped. Nice to have a second unit running and pushing the corp away. Joking here: Solution: use two tampers, back to back, connected to each other!
Your right about that Stefan, got to get it off the tracks anyway you can at those times. Many big railroads have a tamper in front and a drone tamper behind them. Some use a big tamper to lift the track and then follow with a pup tamper. So your idea is already being utilized. We really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 Nailing rails by hand 52 years ago, now days seeing a modern tamper adjusting the track, I've got a pretty clear idea about "things". Maybe You can have some kind of rescue vehicle connected to Your tamper some day. Those machines are known for running one day, being repaired for one day... The last time our big tamper was out on duty it ran for an entire week! Everyone was impressed!
You are right about that Patrick... :-) They not afraid to charge either for their services LOL. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Explains why MOW rail equipment has couplers! Much like why military vehicles have tow bar fittings. 5 ton and up have both turn signal connections and air brake couplings in the front and rear.
As much as this regulator breaks down I think we need a coupler on it Keith! LOL Many times we've towed it in over the years. And it's towed the tamper in several times too. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Their tamping without me? Sounds like I better get headed out that way and make sure they do it right Roger.... :-) Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
oh geez, spray foam to the rescue at 7:15, just rolled in would like this. have similar controls on the underbridge inspection vehicles, very reliable, rarely fail. Make sure all the connections are tight here and at the receiving end.
They had our electrician check those connections, you are right, they must be tight rearspeaker. This thing turned out the be a real nightmare for everyone who worked on it.
@@ccrx6700 luckily, you only have one those control sticks, these inspection vehicles have 4 of them at each control stand, and it has 2 control stands.
You and us both David! Tying to find an electrical problem can sometimes be a nightmare as you well know. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Your right about that, always a new adventure here William, specially when we have old equipment. We really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Finding faults in circuits can be a real pain and shorts are one of the worst. just have to keep trying disconnecting things until you find what it is, and now I see there's an engine problem to fix, always something. at least it gives you some cool things to show us. One day I would like to see how that bar fitted on the locomotive knuckle
You are right Cedarcam trying to find an electrical problem can sometimes be a nightmare as you well know. Yep now the engine won't fire, we think some push rods are bent now.... Always something here breaking down, plus a big derailment this week. 5 loaded cars destroyed.... sigh. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Dave, I know it was about 9 months ago that this video was made, but if you still have it, you guys should consider rebuilding that old forward/reverse controller with a couple new micro switches and maybe some new bushings, then put it on a shelf for a future spare.
Good idea Ralfie but I'm almost certain they threw it away. Now we got a bigger problem, it won't start and blows air out of the air intake when cranking over! I suggested calling in a professional John Deere mechanic, that was over 2 weeks ago and no one has shown up yet, but what do I know.... :-) Thanks so much for visiting with us my friend and may you have a very good day.
Where I worked, we were ordered to scrap or recycle all parts taken off of our old or damaged equipment but old timers all kept a secret stash of “used parts” and occasionally combined a few “broken items” to make up a working spare. “All ships run on spare parts.” Crazy to throw out anything that could later save our butts.
@@ccrx6700 I’ll bet it dropped a valve or broke a spring. Hopefully it’s not too bad and just needs the head repaired and not a piston with a hole in it. I don’t think those blocks have liners in them, so if there’s a hole in a cylinder wall too it’s probably going to need an engine.
@@ccrx6700 Is that a 6 cyl "Lugger" engine in that machine? They're very popular for gensets on small yachts, very reliable John Deere engine. But with enough hours, everything needs an overhaul sooner or later. Even EMD 16-567's will need a couple power packs eventually. LOL
Well that would be December 1975 Robert so it's been a long time.... :-) Very much appreciate your watching this evening my friend and may you have a very good day.
Glad you enjoyed Pete and hope your vacation time went well, oh wait, your on vacation all the time now.... LOL Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you for the nice comment Lewis. That thing turned out to be a real nightmare for all the mechanics who worked on it. Thankfully they got it going again when we really needed it. Appreciate very much your visiting with us tonight and hope you have a very good day my friend.
Your right about that John, sometimes it does take a good bit of time trying to trouble shoot and fix things, specially with the old equipment we have. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
With all the hot weather we've had this summer and no rain, timbers are mighty dry Dan.... :-) Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.

Yes it would be awesome to meet you at MC Jarrett. There is a wood pellet plant not far from our tracks and they dry the wood before making the pellets, so that was the smoke from them drying wood. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

@@ccrx6700 Yes, we had a dead boom truck with rail gear in the yard. But where it was the heavy wrecker could not do a 180 degree turn to the exit. The driver said he might have to call the tow helicopter $$$$. Someone else said use your side tow cables to get it out of the yard and they did. then they hooked up i think. LOL
Baby bobcat 👶 has faith in ya Dave 😮😊😉 Never quite, Never give up... If it has a answer to the question, then there will be a question answered😮😂. No question is a dumb question and part of a endless learning curve. 😮
Could have used Mr. Bobcat today Richard, had 2 cars roll over and spill all their coal out. Corman was in and did their thing. Oh well, that's railroading. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

Hey, I see you had your trucks all in a row. Those up for repair? I saw smoke or steam from something in the trees as the engine was pulling tired Mr. Kershaw. What was that coming from? There were some cold days then! Brrr!
There is a wood pellet plant over that tree line and they dry the wood before making it into pellets, that's the smoke you saw Trena. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
On your line, do y'all have a "Y" to turn equipment around? Also, how many sidings are in your system? A cellphone video might tell you how many wires are under the panel.
NO we do not have a Y or any means of turning equipment or rolling stock around Elbert. We have 5 siding tracks and 2 run around tracks. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Your so right about that Pete, my tamper is a nightmare sometimes to diagnose when something goes wrong as is this regulator. I've had to call in several experts in the past on my tamper over the years. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Always something new breaking down here Gary, but we have old equipment and you'll have that. At least things get fixed eventually. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
We had RJ corman's people out the other day to tow an engine SD 40 -2 generator failed being the Gen tech that I am I answered the call bad dionode pack no problem that's what happened over the labor day weekend I call myself semi retared
I know exactly how you feel about that Ralph! Glad it was a good mechanic working on it and not me. Thank you very much for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
You are very possibly right about that exDrBob1. No one bothered to look inside the box to find out tho. sigh.... Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Electrical gremlins are the worst! Am dealing with a non-reading water temp. gauge now on 1 of the farm trucks. Have replaced block sensor & still no reading. Wires that I can see look okay but I`m working on an old GM engine of 1989. Thinking it might be Int. Panel gauge now. You always show some interesting projects you & your crew are working on.
You are right Frederick, trying to find an electrical problem can sometimes be a nightmare as you well know. Hope you get your water gauge problem fixed soon. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 Figured out the problem yesterday. Had to tap on gauge on instrument panel a couple of times to get it to start reading. Now have discovered another defective thermostat from NAPA! Temp. is maintained at 210F when it should be 180F Sometimes goes higher when 1st warming up. Brand new water pump & radiator as well as hoses too.Today`s parts are aggravating as all get out to find some of decent quality. Cam only imagine what fun it is looking for railroad equipment parts!
Those kittens are growing like a bad weed compirate and momma cat is due to have more, how bout coming and getting a few to take home.... :-) Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Your right about that Tony and we were lucky to get them in, sometimes on this old equipment parts are obsolete. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
That's when the regulator was built George. Seen a lot of electrical signals thru that box over the years! Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
You are absolutely right about that Chris. The jumbled wiring on the regulator and tamper can be a nightmare trying to find a problem, fortunately it doesn't happen all that often. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed RFM CabooseNP. We really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
I read in one of my books that during the Great Depression, people used to scour the tracks for dropped coal to heat their houses. I wonder if anyone has thought of reclaiming it before? I can imagine you could get a train full off of some tracks if that was possible. Just a thought, I came across it in one of my old books about hobos and had that idea.
You are right This Ole Sign Guy, people used to pick coal off the tracks and even the rail cars back in the depression to use to heat their homes. We could sure use a vacuum train here and the coal they pick up and reclaim would pay for the vacuum train over many years time. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Hey Dave how's it going? What is the operating voltage on in-cab controllers? One pinched wire in a hard to access area can be hard to track down and fix I bet!
On the regulator it's all 12 volts PC Networks, the operating voltage for the tamper is 24. Your certainly right about finding a bad wire in that jumbled mess of wiring on the regulator or tamper. Nightmare! Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Yea! A lot of maintenance as to be performed all the time, and then, even after that problems happen anyway. Does this means the next time a similar problem occurs the company will have to buy a brand new machine as parts become scars. This repairs probably with labor cost at least $ 4000. You need to sell a lot of coal.........a commodity that will never disappear completely.
Sure would be nice if we could get a new regulator, but for now it's not in the budget Chris. So we keep patching and rebuilding the old stuff we have. Sure does cut down on your productivity when you spend half the time fixing stuff to work with. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.

I know what you mean that something is always breaking. I know you wanted to get back to work that sit in a traffic jam on the rails waiting on a tow truck.
Things break down like that on the rails, priority is to get it off the tracks so the train can run Beverly. We've towed many pieces of equipment on track in the past. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
The function of the regulator is to move ballast around on the track to where it's needed Robert. Thus it's called a regulator because it regulates the ballast. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

it is great that they were able to get a new controller! so often when they are older, no more parts! hope it
keeps running well. keep smiling and sharing these wonderful videos! have a great day Dave!
Your right about that Barry, many parts are obsolete for the
older stuff, we were lucky. I hate when electrical problems
happen, it's not my cup of tea. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Sometimes we have had to adapt parts for newer equipment to work on our older stuff. Example adapting SAE parts for metric parts. We had to do that recently with an engine thermostat.
Always adventures on the rails!
Your right about that Gary, specially with the old equipment
we have. Stuff is great when they are working, but sometimes
a nightmare to try and fix. Thank you for your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 All the equipment on our Thoroughbred farm is technically antique except the horses! There mostly newly made by the sires & dams. The 1st 100 miles are the most difficult breaking them in.

Looks like a greasy mess under the hood, I'm glad it's not me working on that! That controller was pretty expensive. I would have guessed a couple grand at least! 🤔
Your right about that Mojo, but if anyone could figure it out,
I would put my money on you! Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Dave I spent my work life fixing track machines.What folks need to know is these machines are out in all kinds of weather and the control systems are subjected to heat ,vibration,and corrosion from moisture getting into so called sealed boxes.Stuff that kills wiring !Also a lot of track machine parts are adapted from other less severe applications ie automotive .The machines can easily be 20 years old and that takes its toll as well as having multiple fellows "improvising "around problems over the years.I had a regulator once that floated between Forward and Reverse all on its own, back and forth from standstill .A 3/16th dowel pin had sheared in the hydrostatic control valve ,wont describe how the operator demonstrated with his body what the machine was doing but got a laugh from the crew . Chasing these faults can be the most frustrating soul destroying thing but when you nail it,happy days !Thats Railroading indeed Cheers
You are so right about that Chris, trying to find an electrical problem can sometimes be a nightmare as you well know. And like you say, sealed doesn't always mean it's sealed plus over
time and weather the seals can leak moisture in. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Just like farm equipment & trucks! Always subject to weather extremes & humidity changes.

It's bad when things break down out on the line, I know it. Driving a double unit train one motor stopped. Nice to have a second unit running and pushing the corp away. Joking here: Solution: use two tampers, back to back, connected to each other!
Your right about that Stefan, got to get it off the tracks anyway
you can at those times. Many big railroads have a tamper in
front and a drone tamper behind them. Some use a big tamper
to lift the track and then follow with a pup tamper. So your idea is already being utilized. We really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 Nailing rails by hand 52 years ago, now days seeing a modern tamper adjusting the track, I've got a pretty clear idea about "things".
Maybe You can have some kind of rescue vehicle connected to Your tamper some day. Those machines are known for running one day, being repaired for one day...
The last time our big tamper was out on duty it ran for an entire week! Everyone was impressed!

You are right about that Patrick... :-) They not afraid to charge either for their services LOL. Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Explains why MOW rail equipment has couplers! Much like why military vehicles have tow bar fittings. 5 ton and up have both turn signal connections and air brake couplings in the front and rear.
As much as this regulator breaks down I think we need a coupler
on it Keith! LOL Many times we've towed it in over the years.
And it's towed the tamper in several times too. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Nice little blast from the recent past! The CSX boys are doing a little tamping in our neck of the woods here in Central Illinois. Stay safe Dave!

They had our electrician check those connections, you are right,
they must be tight rearspeaker. This thing turned out the be a real nightmare for everyone who worked on it.

@@ccrx6700 Oh that sounds real bad Dave. I hope everything gets fixed OK destroyed cars will leave you short of stock. Take care and have a good day
Dave, I know it was about 9 months ago that this video was made, but if you still have it, you guys should consider rebuilding that old forward/reverse controller with a couple new micro switches and maybe some new bushings, then put it on a shelf for a future spare.
Good idea Ralfie but I'm almost certain they threw it away.
Now we got a bigger problem, it won't start and blows air out
of the air intake when cranking over! I suggested calling in a professional John Deere mechanic, that was over 2 weeks ago and no one has shown up yet, but what do I know.... :-) Thanks
so much for visiting with us my friend and may you have a very
good day.
@@ccrx6700stuck valve or broken camshaft, or broken timing gear/chain? Neither option is vey good.
Where I worked, we were ordered to scrap or recycle all parts taken off of our old or damaged equipment but old timers all kept a secret stash of “used parts” and occasionally combined a few “broken items” to make up a working spare. “All ships run on spare parts.” Crazy to throw out anything that could later save our butts.
@@ccrx6700
I’ll bet it dropped a valve or broke a spring. Hopefully it’s not too bad and just needs the head repaired and not a piston with a hole in it. I don’t think those blocks have liners in them, so if there’s a hole in a cylinder wall too it’s probably going to need an engine.
@@ccrx6700 Is that a 6 cyl "Lugger" engine in that machine? They're very popular for gensets on small yachts, very reliable John Deere engine. But with enough hours, everything needs an overhaul sooner or later. Even EMD 16-567's will need a couple power packs eventually. LOL

Electrical gremlins are the worst! Am dealing with a non-reading water temp. gauge now on 1 of the farm trucks. Have replaced block sensor & still no reading.

I read in one of my books that during the Great Depression, people used to scour the tracks for dropped coal to heat their houses. I wonder if anyone has thought of reclaiming it before? I can imagine you could get a train full off of some tracks if that was possible. Just a thought, I came across it in one of my old books about hobos and had that idea.
Picking coal, nicking fire wood.... It was the same in many plces during those hard times
You are right This Ole Sign Guy, people used to pick coal off
the tracks and even the rail cars back in the depression to
use to heat their homes. We could sure use a vacuum train here
and the coal they pick up and reclaim would pay for the vacuum train over many years time. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 Just love Your "character".
Hey Dave how's it going?
What is the operating voltage on in-cab controllers?
One pinched wire in a hard to access area can be hard to track down and fix I bet!
On the regulator it's all 12 volts PC Networks, the operating
voltage for the tamper is 24. Your certainly right about finding
a bad wire in that jumbled mess of wiring on the regulator or
tamper. Nightmare! Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Howdy!
Good evening Double O. Thank you for your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Yea! A lot of maintenance as to be performed all the time, and then, even after that problems happen anyway. Does this means the next time a similar problem occurs the company will have to buy a brand new machine as parts become scars. This repairs probably with labor cost at least $ 4000. You need to sell a lot of coal.........a commodity that will never disappear completely.
Sure would be nice if we could get a new regulator, but for
now it's not in the budget Chris. So we keep patching and
