Hi, my name is Jake Earle, and I’m a Railfan from Eastern Ontario. I normally Railfan CN’s Kingston Sub, and sometimes the CP Winchester/Belleville Sub, along with many others. I’m mainly into train photography, but am slowly starting to shoot videos again, so subscribe to my channel if you wanna see more content from me! Checkout my Instagram : @easternontariorailfan
A most enjoyable video . Love those CN colours . One of the classiest on the high iron . ( wouldn't hurt to run them through the wash rack now & then ) That crew had enough lumber in that consist to build a small city . Nice work on this video 👍
@@HavelockYard around 6:30 pm. i have a video of when it departed which is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6r-VOixCpS4.html and it was july the 30th
Congratulations to Mr. George Westinghouse on yet another safe emergency stop. There have been improvements to compressor power and valve speeds, but the basic design from 1869 is still in use today.
@@taijuan5087 To be sure, there was trial and error involved. His first idea used air pressure in the train line to apply the brakes. This wasn't fail-safe, so he added car reservoirs to activate the brakes when pipe pressure was reduced or lost completely.
@@taijuan5087 A reduction in brake pipe pressure causes the automatic control valve on the car to release air from the reservoir into the brake cylinders. The force of the air is multiplied in the cylinder to apply the brakes. There are no springs involved in a brake application. A sudden loss of brake pipe pressure will dump all of the reservoir air into the brake cylinder for an emergency application. That's the short course. Every car has its own reservoir, control (triple) valve, and brake cylinder.
I was also wondering about that train stopping so fast and in a so short distance: this is what DPU's and pusher units do best when a train goes into emergency. Brakes are applied from two different ends at the very same time.
What a great spot, especially in the dark. You have a tremendous view of signals whether you're looking east or west. F51 gives a great engine sound approaching the platform.
Nice catch ! I have seen these previously coast downhill on the Halton Sub, then climb out of Hamilton on the Dundas Sub [on different occasions]. Cool sight !
I was wondering where they are built. As for where used: they seem to pop up everywhere across the land these days. We have hundreds and hundreds of them in Ontario.
@@easternontariorailfan8132 I was talking with a man named Richard at the end of the platform and it sounds like the military cars we saw were stragglers. Sounds like there were quite a few more the day before that were going to Petawawa as well.
