Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A westbound BNSF train with a heavy transformer immediately behind the locomotives passes Austin. Ancient boxcar at 4:50. Anyone recognize the markings?

    Rather amazed they sent that multi-million dollar load on that line with its history of sharp curves and stringline derailments. Still, nice to see it!

    Yet again, you demonstrate how to take railroad videos. Whenever I view other videos, I compare them to your work and sadly, very very few met the standard you have set. With that in mind, I eagerly await your next presentation.

    Someone said they ship large transformers without oil but pressurized with nitrogen to keep out moisture. Makes sense. Thx.

    Oil in electrical Xfmrs is Pyranol which does carry a Pcb issue, so charging them dry & w Nitrogen seems like an excellent idea.

    I spent most of my career installing HV transformers and we always received ours either full of Nitrogen or dry air. Pretty hard to move the damn things when full of oil. I have also seen many transformer moves on Virtual Railfan and keep wondering where are the rads, bushings, conservator, etc.? I've been retired for 20 years - maybe they're all filled with SF6 now - or something.

    More great work Scott! That hill is a great spot and worth the climb! Is that the 4029 or the 4025? It sounds a bit tighter and focused , but it's hard t0 tell there? Cheers Gregg.

    Nice K5LLA on that GEVO, how many helpers do heavy westbound freight trains use when climbing up mountains?

  • @ScottHiddelston

    @ScottHiddelston

    Жыл бұрын

    On this Pass the helpers are in a 4-set. On heavy unit trains all 4 are online but in manifests or stacks the lighter weight means they can shut down 1, 2 or even 3 if they need to.

    Sadly, that horn sounds like every other horn on every single GEVO in existence. I’m forever spoiled growing up, listening to Southern and early CSX five chime Leslies. THOSE were worthy of listening to.
