A salute to the LP! The layman passenger/onlooker hardly notices these overlooked men and women behind the throttle. Imagine the skill required in trying to prevent a mega ton train rolling backward on a gradient as soon as the brakes are released or the precision in maintaining just the right amount of thrust (so as not to break the couplers) to win against counter-thrust. Respect!

That steel-on-steel contact (steel wheels with steel rails) which makes trains so efficient, and allows low power-to-weight ratios to still get heavy trains to high speeds can also prove to be quite an evil when it comes to even mildly steep gradients like this. Where road cars and trucks have better grip due to rubber-and-silicon tyres (there are other chemical compounds as well, but that's a different story) in contact with asphalt roads, allowing them to climb up crazy slopes in lower gears, trains can struggle even on gradual slopes; much more so with such a heavy load to pull. The driver did a great job here, and the melodious engine note is an extra bonus!

It will neither harm the locomotive, nor break the couplers. Because, it has been manufactured for that. (WDG: Wide gauge -- Diesel -- Goods). The gear ratio has been designed such that, it can pull ultra heavy loads and could withstand full throttle without burning anything at standstill. I have seen five WDG4s, all on full notch climbing up the hill from standstill..

Nice Sound! But the theory of the train not able to move is wrong, the truth being that each EMDs WDG4s can haul 454 metric tons which means that the twin can handle a massive of 908 metric tons at full notch 8 throttle. Truth being the drivers/engineers have to wait for the air tanks to be full as the tanks are emptied after a stop is given which means that the loco has refill the tanks and release the air brakes on all the individual compartments. Thats the reason for the full throttle.

+Zayir Audio Solutions I'm not saying you're wrong, but I was there and I know that the locomotives did struggle a bit to get the train moving. They were notched up before brake release because of the gradient. Trains always do this here and the extra bit of effort is because of the kind of load - this was a fully loaded steel train.

Pretty heavy huffing and puffing by the normally efficient WDG4. Nice to listen to the humming, whistling sounds, then gathering the torque to move along gracefully. Excellent video.

The wdg4 is trying really hard full force exerted! Imagine how heavy those carts were when 2 strong locos struggle to pull them

I'm surprised it didn't bust a coupler!

You are right the Traction motors windings will burn out if peak current rating of the TMs ( in amps) is maintained unduly long. The LP must notch down if the permitted time is exceeded and bring the ammeter back into green zone of continuous rating ampereage value of the motors. The LP here actually has done a tremendous job of it. It has taken his complete knowledge of his locos and the proper handling of the notches that finally moved the formation. I think the station is Bayyappanahalli near Bangalore which has quite a steep gradient and then after reaching the summit a down gradient. We can observe how the LP has cleverly used the down gradient to accelerate his formation.

Most satisfying sound 😘😘😘

try shooting closer to the loco ... u missed the wheelslip at the start ... dg4 has the best creep control.

These locos are not struggling. It is actually done so that the train does not roll back at the start of the gradient. Hence LP's notch up before releasing the brakes.

@TrainManFromOZ

Agree with you. If the train had been standing on a rising grade, the service brakes would have been used to hold the train against roll back. Drivers would slowly notch up as the service brakes are released and the brakes slowly start to come off. The expertise of the drivers are demonstrated here in perfect timing: pick up of the load as the brakes come off. Depending on the length of consist and how the auxiliary / control reservoirs are being charged throughout the consist i.e. single or twin (brake pipe plus main res) pipes, it takes several minutes to release the brakes on a formation. You can never release the service brakes on a train of that length in a few seconds!

Excuse me for being an American rail fan, but it doesn't seem like those engines have the weight and tractive effort that they could for the amount of horsepower that they have. A pair of SD70MACs would've had the same horsepower, but the lash-up would've been something like 250,000 pounds heavier, and had almost 130,000 pounds more tractive effort. They would've hitched onto an equivalent train and walked off with it here in the US. Of course, many railways in the world use lighter rails, power, and rolling stock, simply because they don't have to move as much stuff at once.

@FS2K4Pilot

Horsepower has more to do with how fast you can make the train go. Tractive effort deals more with how much pulling force you can put to the railhead, and thus how much train you can make go.

@accatenary

6 жыл бұрын

Needs to calculate actual load, gradient and most important starting tractive effort. But starting tractive effort is very high level of force which in turn needs more current (which is of course calculated by on board computer) to motors. Feeding such high current for reasonably long time may damage motor windings so computer won't do it to that extend. Again wheel slip will auto regress the notches. So the answer to your question lies infact that how much tractive effort is available at axle and how it's distributed under various load conditions. In my opinion, whether locomotive is electric or diesel, doesn't matter much. Dear Author, Video is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. ☺

No problem,,the gradients are the trains enemy,,,a 2000 tons train with a 1,5% gradient the locos may have a traction force of 20 tons or more at the start. Logic at low notch,,the electric motors dont have the torque to move the heavy load.Normal,,,but the problem to considerate is the slipping,,,this is a problem that the engineer may be patient.
