On 12/2/17, Norfolk Southern train H76 made it's usual run up the Portland Secondary in Eastern PA and Western NJ with a loaded train and 4 older EMD's of SD40-2's and GP38's. With the tricky layout of the line, the train almost always ends up in full throttle as it tries to battle a 2% grade at Martins Creek, PA. Here, the train is seen heading into Martins Creek and then battling the hill as it tries to make it to the Delaware-Lackawanna interchange at Portland, PA. Turn up the speakers as you listen to these old EMDs roar.
Power:
NS 3473 (SD40-2)
NS 5625 (GP38-2)
NS 3489 (SD40-2)
NS 3470 (SD40-2)

I imagined the trees loving the CO2 shower each time a locomotive passes underneath. You know we are just converting carbon which is hard for plants to use into the dioxide which is perfect plant food!

That wasn't the traction motors smoking it was actually the sand being applied for traction to make it up the grade.
@Henry5623
@Henry5623 4 года назад
The enormous cloud was from the traction motor blowers not the sanders. Hence why if you look at the front of #3473 the leaves being ejected away are only being blown as it's lead axles pass over them and not from the actual front of the unit. The traction motor blowers on trailing unit #5625 were venting pretty aggressively downward kicking up the cloud. Foamers seem to think units dump truck loads of sand into enormous sand storm like clouds and it couldn't be farther from the truth. Most wouldn't even take notice of the sanders being on in the first place due to units spraying such a fine light deposit. The sand (most often being granite crushed into 1mm x 1mm razor sharp cubes) stays close to the ground even when airborne. Look at axle 6 of NS #3489 around the 3:25 mark and you'll see the faint cloud of sand from it's rear truck sander. Ironically axle 6 on #3470 is doing the same thing. No part of the engineers that design the units nor our mechanical/electrical departments would want or allow huge clouds of abrasive sand being blown/sucked into the units. It's just going to cause problems. Hopefully that clarifies things. -Almost 18 and a half years of working for UP (scary as that is to think about...).

Miss the 'old days' when trains had cabooses and the most (except a very few parasites) people had respect for property which wasn't theirs. Businesses didn't have to put guards over, or completely board up, windows to prevent azzwipes from breaking windows, and vermin didn't go around defacing property. I've had the clueless respond that they are 'only railcars'. Oddly enough, when I asked if they would be upset if I spray painted their vehicles, they were unanimously opposed -- but still didn't see the issue when it came to other's property. And some of these loons may hold public office and come up with goofy policies like some of the Da's, prosecutors, and judges of the chitholes where other crimes are now condoned.
