MY FAVORITE SOUND WHILE IN A G-E IS COMING DOWN THE STEEP GRADE, HEAVY TRAIN MAKING A FAST CONTROLLED STOP, THE DYNAMIC GRID BLOWERS SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES!!
I love seeing the BNSFs together with Ferromex in Aguascalientes, Mex, which one do you like better... the AC, DC or the C4, you can talk about the difference between AC and DC...
Hey John, I'm not sure if you got a video on it. I'm searched a bit but if possible. Could you do a video on the BN conductor system wide senority. Coming from the UP, we had senority districts so it works a bit different. Love the videos and you look Damn good man! Keep up with the weight loss
1:50 Most Diesel Injection Pumps weren't designed for lower injection for cold engines, nor to wait for Turbo Lag. Wasn't a concern until recently. Also the visible part of Diesel exhaust isn't the harmful part*, it's the invisible NOx and CO2 just the same as Gasoline engines. *Ok, well it's harmful to animals if inhaled, but is otherwise biodegradable plant fertilizer. Though plants don't really care for it accumulating on it's chlorophyll either. They want it to land on the soil to break it down for it's carbon.
Today’s world has gone mad about this. Obviously inhaling soot is harmful- if you do it repeatedly and intensely. Smoking a cigarette once in a while won’t kill you either, but if you smoke 20/day it will catch up with you eventually. This smoke looks quite decent. Those Russian engines on TH-cam here throw out a lot more…
Haha! My man listened to his followers and his gear head train engine junkies I like it!!! Just finding this video man and I’m stoked to watch it! Another dead head ride I’m assuming?
Your stopped that can't make warren happy. Lol ok nevermind back on the move. Warren happy again. At UPRR we do alot of that because UP stands for unlimited parking.
Hey I start on Monday for orientation for BNSF as a conductor and I was reaching out to anyone who could tell me what to expect. I read the details in the description in the email they sent me but I was wondering if some of you guys had the inside details…. Thanks in advance.

tie up at the same time. The onduty call times are usually a few minutes apart from the operating crew and the deadhead crews. So the operating crew maybe called at 1800 and the deadhead crews called at 1801 and 1802
@@RailsTailsandTrails At the terminals I run out of, deadheads are always called one minute before the crew are, unless you're deadheading on Amtrak or by van. This is to ensure the deadheads arrive before the crew and don't miss the train. I know it sounds ridiculous, because crews usually aren't ready the minute they're on duty, but it does happen. As far as tying up, we either do it at the same time, or in the order we were called (if there are multiple deadheads on the same train). Otherwise crew support automatically places us on the board in our original calling order.
Can DPU's be started from the head engine or do all that are giving power need to be started within each individual engine? You see the engineers going into engine compartments, at times, to start them.
Motors at some point have to be set from isolate to run. If they shut down when idling they will start back up remotely when the engineer inputs a control on the lead motor.
There are a few reasons engineers perform a manual start on engines, but the most common reason is if the auto-start failed. Other reasons are to observe a proper start-up in conjunction with some type of alarm, such as a tripped governor, oil pressure, crank case over-pressure, or if an entire MU consist is in shutdown, and you only want one engine running instead of all of them. If you initiate an auto-start on the lead unit, all the motors will fire up, but not if you manually start an individual unit. As far as DP goes, they're radio linked to the lead unit so it's a really bad day if engineers have to physically go back there to do anything. It's a long walk lol. So, DP units are started, linked, and air tested and checked for proper operation before we cut them in. After that, they automatically copy whatever the lead unit is doing.
@Jaimar Wagner when a locomotive is under load or "pulling a train" that's the term we use to indicate how well or bad the prime mover (engine) responds to throttle and effectiveness. Kinda like when you drive your car and want to see how it performs on the road or a truck towing a trailer etc. Basically, performance of a locomotive pulling the train behind it.
To me they all look the same- or very similar at least. And I wonder why. Obviously they are different „under the bonnet“ but somehow they copied the outer design from each other!

That awesome! I could listen to that engine all day long. Have an safe ride. Cheers
Thanks, will do!
Love that gevo sound music to my ears
Cool. Rawhide all the way..
Well that’s was a fast four min of fury. 😂my call sign actually back in college as well.
Howdy from Ride Along Gang.
Love to see the belching diesel exhaust
Well that was cool. Thanks for sharing that!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Throttle 8, don’t be late!!!!
Grab another notch hogger, let’s go!

lol anything from the cab has to be a dead head my man
Yea I remember you sayin that before cause no cams in the cabs of the working lead loco copy that
Great video buddy and here is a like from me.
Much appreciated!
Your stopped that can't make warren happy. Lol ok nevermind back on the move. Warren happy again. At UPRR we do alot of that because UP stands for unlimited parking.
lol if they're stopped they're using less fuel! What's to be mad about that lol
How often do you have loading issues with locomotives?
eh not that much. depends on the motors you get
Please more videos with out music just raw mechanical noise
Do pushers put out a bit less power than leading ones?
I‘d imagine you‘d want to stretch the train and keep it stretched.
stretched when stopped. bunched when moving. You don't want a lot of play in the train when moving. That's how drawbars and knuckles get destroyed

best i can tell ya man is watch the videos i have post and even check out my buddies channel Railroad Talk
@@RailsTailsandTrails I watch all your videos and it’s all good had a great first day.
@@RailsTailsandTrails and I’ve watched all his videos as well.
always wondered if id get a no start on them, with how slow they turn over
I've had that happen a few times. Mainly on switch motors.

Gotta bust open a crew pack and roll up some paper towels and see if you can wedge them into whatever is rattling.
ended up being my yeti lol
When DHing via locomotive do you tie up behind the crew that ran the train? I assume so but wanted to ask. I can’t imagine it being any other way.
tie up at the same time. The onduty call times are usually a few minutes apart from the operating crew and the deadhead crews. So the operating crew maybe called at 1800 and the deadhead crews called at 1801 and 1802

What’s a better loco EMD SD70ace or the ESS44ac
ES44 has better traction in slick rails. ACes loaded a bit faster but those cabs are junk to ride.
