And they try to use the excuse of "Oh, I didn't see it." How can you not see it? How can you not hear it? How can you not feel the ground shaking as they speed by? Anybody who can't tell when a train is coming is a moron. Period.
...as I sat here waiting patiently for the startup...i realized why i get chills for this kind of stuff...this is the metallic version of more than 4,000 horses (literally) with a pulling force of 150,000 lbs, all neatly packed into a box 73 feet long, 15 feet tall, and 10 feet wide. i'll probably go to sleep later on thinking about the shrill sound of those turbos...
I'm 75 now but when I was a kid hanging out around the New York Central North Bergen Roundhouse in New Jersey (long one now) watching mechanics doing major overhauls, Diesel locomotives (mostly Alco RS2s) were left idling ll the time. I was told the purpose was to avoid carbon buildup in the cylinders, which makes sense because that was dirtier fuel oil back then. Man, those were he days when a kid could go just about anywhere. These days an adult can't even walk the tracks without being subject to arrest.
Oh, that was way too easy. It's a lot more fun when the engineer has to run around kicking the engine and beating on the turbo with a hammer and the engine responds by coughing and gagging and belching black smoke and smelly diesel fumes that stink up the air in all directions for miles. Now that's how to start an engine!
...so sorry for the double comment! but, i can't quit laughing how the background chatter is suddenly silenced with, "Shhhhhhhh! shhhhhhh...I wanna hear the relays clicking, etc..." I only caught this on my third replay...
Nice video. So I guess you didn't see the CNW's this morning. I was gonna get them too but when I got up and traced them, they were already in Global 2. :(
@@LegoWormNoah101 Both, and, many phases. 2002 was teamed up with it's mate last time i was with it. Engine house to the staging area for the train it was going out on.
On a road vehicle, your typical air compressors are supposed to build up from 0 psi to 120-150 psi in around 6-8 minutes at regular idle, and should go from 80 (Low psi alarm) to 120 in under a minute while operating at speed or fast idle. I imagine that train compressors have similar requirements.
School should be teaching us how to do jobs and do taxes and do jobs learn carres not just sit there and teach us what number is let c like how are we gonna use those to do work
