Old GE dash 8s and dash 9s (and even the new GEVOs) are infamous here stateside for having this issue of running fuel rich due to turbo failure. We call them "toasters" here.

@@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife Thanks for your reply. In this case it is the way the driver is handling the power by leaving it on full all the time. These locos have 2 turbos, sometimes I have seen one with one side emitting thick smoke all the time while the other is clean. I have seen a few failures stateside but not looked up toaster engine failure so I will do that to find some more. Rolling coal I have heard of and I think a better description than clag as we say.

I was told they used 2 often but this day the 2nd loco only arrived when both halves of the train were in the Up Siding.They did haul loads like this often though and it looks like poor driving technique apply full power and not easing off a little as it got on the move causing to engine overspeed to cut the fuel and as the revs die down allow a surge of fuel into the engine. Whatever the cause it did make a great video and something I have never seen sine.

There's nothing good about wheel slipping, it might look fun to the Anoraks but it does the rails no good at all, I worked on the P Way on the Midland main line back in the seventies and it wasn't unusual to have to change sections of rail at the ends of platforms because they became rippled due to poor starting procedure..I can't imagine the wheels themselves fared much better.

@cedarcam

I have seen that kind of damage as well. A huge expense for the railway caused by a few moments of inattentive driving. I have also seen the result of damage to a wheel which made a ripple similar to seen on the rails. This I was told needs to be re profiled otherwise in service the wheel damage quickly gets worse as the wheel bounces on the damaged part and can lead to cracks developing in the tyre.

I had wondered why some trains were held back a block behind and not at the junction signal which was on a steep gradient.

Do they still use the Class 37 in regular freight service? I'm from California and I'd love to travel just to see these awesome machines.

There are not many left in service now but you can see them working on freight and some passenger trains Also there are several preserved examples so you could get haulage on one of those and even possibly get to drive one, as some of our private lines have driver experience days where for a fee you get to drive either steam or diesel on an empty passenger train. We have a web site called realtime trains. It is free to look up there almost any train in the country and the company operating it. There you can sometimes find what type of loco is on the train. You could have a look on there and find out which places you are likely to see one. A place many tourists like to see is York and the company DRS have a track right by the station where they often park one up. Another line people like to ride is Settle to Carlisle and DRS have a depot at Carlisle so they pass the station on there way there. They also work the passenger trains from there along the scenic coast line though Whitehaven so you can check out train times along that line.

They still use them occasionally - companies like Colas Rail still have them in their fleet, but most of the functional engines are in heritage or museum use.

Direct rail services still use many of them on the main line, and loads of them on heritage railways

Is it the driver or the loco cutting the revs and then reapplying? Because I never understood why they often do this. Wouldn't steady revs provide a more constant flow pf electricity to the traction motors?

@cedarcam

This driver is applying full power and letting the wheel slip detection cut the power. Not the best way to get the load moving. Normally they apply a lot of power to get the train moving then ease off because they reach maximum amps then apply power again more gently keeping an eye on the ammeter and wheel slip indicator putting sand down as required and adjusting the power to as much as they can without loosing traction. That takes a lot more skill than just blasting away on full power like here.

cedarcam If I had scrolled down I would have seen that others have also asked the same question. My bad. But locos often sound like they're revving then backing off. Now I know why. Cheers.

No problem Superbracy I was going to say to look there but did not want to sound rude. Anyway Yes that is why you often see a driver back off. Another thing I have noticed is even up hill a wagon will roll a little under momentum when the driver backs off and that will slacken the couplers. As power is re applied there is less load on the loco and it will gain a bit more speed without slipping. This also takes skill. Not to snatch and break a link taking up the slack too quickly.

Yes Many times over. I remember steams last days but not old enough to go to watch trains. I did see a lot though as we often used the train to go to town. I liked steam a lot. It was only when I met a friend who went to watch trains around 1972 I began to get interested in diesels. 37's are covered in vents making them the least finished looking of EE's, I think, but I do like them and they can haul more than my favourite class 40 with 250 less horses

By accident I realised that egg sandwiches taste much better in tunnels due to sulphur dioxide gasses in loco smoke which came in through the windows... (Only with steam locos mind you.) You saw some fine locos. I only knew fairly common ones: BR 3MT tanks, Panniers, Manors, BR Standard 4 4-6-0s and 2-6-Os, 9Fs, one Britannia (at Shrewsbury) and Southern Pacifics. Those GW Panniers with outside gear were kind of cool... but I never saw one. Nothing Eastern Region at all...
