Locomotives equipped with a rcs system replaces the Deadman pedal that used to be on the floor. If the rcs (reset control system) cycles and the button is not pushed it will initialize a penalty brake application. The purpose of the power cutoff system ( pcs ) is to stop the locomotive from producing power since the train is in emergency. Some locomotives the pcs also disables the dynamic braking. But newer locomotives are equipped to still provide dynamic braking in order to help get the train stopped.

The 26L system entered production in the late 1950s and quickly became the standard. It was superseded by the 30CDW in the 1980s, but this and all the newer electronic air brake valves (CCB, EPIC II, FastBrake) all operate in the same manner. Most if not all of the Class I's still operate some older units with 26L brake systems, though EAB of one type or another seems to have become the standard on new or rebuilt units. Like many steam locomotives, C&O 1309 originally had a 6ET system but it was replaced with a 26 during the recent rebuild. The benefits of going with a 26 or newer system include pressure maintaining (the 26 was the first system to make this standard, it became an option on the 24 and earlier systems did not have it), greater reliability, longer maintenance intervals and parts being a lot easier to obtain. Some other restored steam locomotives have also been upgraded with 26 systems, including CP 2816, CP 2860, CN 6060 and NKP 765. That 'Control Chief' setup is new to me, but you'd be surprised at how often we have to reboot the computers on newer GE and EMD road units. The modern Distributed Power system (brand name for Locotrol III) has had a lot of bugs over the years, it took a long time to get them worked out and every time it or the locomotive computer systems in general are 'upgraded' more bugs seem to appear. DP can be tricky by itself, but DP and Pacesetter (slow speed cruise control) are an especially bad combination.

I was told in air brake class that the 30CDW is essentially the same as 26L in the air brake compartment. True or not, I’d have to ask a machinist. 30 was designed for desktop applications, although I’ve seen in mounted sideways on a conventional control stand on CN SD70/75M. The electronic EPIC and CCB are part of the requirement for the 184 vs. 92 day inspection. The first electric valves had no resistance in the handle, so it was easy to push the handle too far and take off 13 psi, when only 10 was intended.

Actually, the locomotives were in dynamic brakes. The PC switch killed the dynamics and the train ran away until the emergency brakes took hold. Since the trailing locomotive only had it's own weight to stop, it stopped quickly. Thus the long distance between them. Unless the locomotive was equipped for dynamic brake holding. It's been awhile, but as I recall, the power cutout switch (PCS) interrupts the power control relay (PC or PCR). Dropping out the PCR interrupts the governor solenoid circuits, the generator excitation circuit and sends power to that light on the control stand. Sometimes in jargon called the "power knockout...." Oh, and 26-L was introduced in late 50's.

All right on. I’ve been on some old power like GP9s without PCS. We had some GP38-2 which would still pull until the throttle went to idle, then no power until PCS was reset. I’ve been told that the thinking was that they’d rather drag a potentially derailed car a few lengths, rather than kill the guys in the buggy with a sudden slack run in. A train in emergency would stop the train fast enough anyway. The DB holding feature of the PCS became more common in the 1990s. Older power was modified. There was a runaway out west, and when the crew put the train in emergency, it picked up speed faster, since the DB kicked out. That prompted the DB holding. Years ago there was a crossing with a low spot. I’m sure the track inspector never felt it in his truck. I had two big AC units with F tight lock shelf draw bars, followed by a Geep with standard E couplers. When we hit the dip, the couplers between the Geep and head pin did a high low bypass, causing us to come apart. The PCS tripped, and I bailed off. This was so the train would hit us, and so the wheels wouldn’t skid. It took me a bit to realize that I wasn’t stopping, so there was nothing behind me. We recovered and went back to get our train, then do a pull by inspection.

what a pain where the sun don't shine. Back in the real days of railroading we had a helper engine with an engineer and fireman on both engines head end and helper. This modern crap is a joke! :( Very cool video showing us life on the RR in modern times.

A little something I learned about the PCS system, like you said all power (both motoring and braking) are shut down unless the locomotive has a Saluda key switch on the control stand. Southern Railway design this system (I haven't seen any others use or even have this on the control stands) for their trains used on the 5% grade of Saluda (the name of the system) in which if the PCS trips it won't cut out the dynamics to help slow the train like what Bigjoes said a few comments down about newer stuff. I don't think your engines have it, it'll be a key hole in front of the throttle handle below the switches, I learned this from a training video Southern railway and NS made years ago for their Belmont coal train.

Awesome Ryan, thank you so much for sharing something I did not know. That would be extremely useful here. On all of our locos throttle as well as dynamics cut off. Only thing is, if EOT unit was on dynamics and it pulled apart, there would have to be a time out limit on it since there is no operator in the cab. But that could easily be achieved I think. Southern was an innovative RR. A great RR in it's day. Guys from them would shudder at what NS has done to their heritage I would think.

We had a lot of trouble with the air connected to the computer, so much so that they finally separated the air brake from the 'puter. They had road trains stopped, unable to recover the air without help from the diesel shop electricians, or some of the younger hoggers figured out how to recover the air, but even with their efforts, sometimes they wound up having to run a train from the 2nd or 3rd unit, just to get the dang train going and get it to the terminal and off the main line. The DPU control boxes were completely different from yours, and I was never on a DPU train. Some of the foreign RRs had a limit on train length so it was only occasionally that we would get a monster train, and they were usually trains with a large block of perishable loads for the East coast, a run through where a crew would get off, we'd get on do an air test get the whole train inspected, fill out an air brake form, and when we'd get to the crew change out point, we'd get off, they'd get on and away they went. That was in Riverdale, with the CSX crew @ the old B&OCT yard.

When the locomotive got out of range of the box that the train operator wore, the locomotive would go into emergency, most of the time. A couple of times, it took off! Both times the switchman had gotten off to throw a switch, just like in the movie. Required a 2 man crew. One on the locomotive when backing over road and pedestrian crossings, and throw switches. After I left, I heard they knocked it down to 1 man crew.(to save money) and threw the rule book out the window. I heard one remote operator was killed, a week before his retirement.

Pneumatic Control Switch. I am not an expert but I think it disables dynamics if the switch opens probably a loss of air. I could easily be wrong. Such a neat video of something we won’t see anywhere else. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Cheers, Rob

@ccrx6700

You are correct Rob, when PCS opens it disables throttle and dynamic brake functions via the PCS (power control system) .... PCS acronym for more than 1 thing on a loco... :-) power control system is the electrical part which knocks power to the governor. Thank you so much for stopping by and taking in the video my friend.

@TheAdamRides

Жыл бұрын

On newer locomotives when the train goes into emergency thus tripping the PCS, dynamics will stay engaged. There was a runaway train on CP Rail’s Kicking Horse Pass in the 90’s I believe where the engineer mistakenly thought the dynamics would stay engaged during an emergency application but he was wrong and that perpetuated the runaway. New units will keep dynamics engaged during PCS. If for some reason you lose air and your last resort is an emergency application, at least you still have dynamics to help slow down if they are already engaged when the emergency application occurs. Also, if the train slack was bunched up and the train was in dynamics while an emergency application occurred, the older system and locomotives would disable dynamics causing a massive slack run out as all the cars went to emergency and the engines left dynamics. That slack run out could definitely be severe enough to cause a train separation or derailment due to intensive buff forces, especially if you were in a curve.

That locomotive sitting there all by itself on a rainy day looked a bit eerie! Reminded me of that Steven Spielberg movie "Duel". I expected the headlight to flicker on and it to slowly start moving toward you 😮 On a more serious note: I thought you explained things quite nicely Dave 😊

Also we have a unique remote system, it is unlike any other. Most RR's run LocoTrol made by Wabtec, it is a much better system and operates differently. Big thing is on ours, the rear loco does not supply air to the train brake pipe. At the beginning of the video when I shut the angle cocks off, air was not coming out the brake pipe, it was coming out the train dump line for the cars. On most other systems and trains with a mid or end of train DPU, those locos supply air to the brake pipe. So go pitter patter that.... :-) May you have a most blessed day my friend.

Never Jeff. Although when I'm on track am extremely leary of when we have new operators. Older operators I trust with my life, newer ones I contact via radio just to see how they are making out so to remind them I'm on track. You actually ask a very good question. Have to tell you a story. One of our newer operators several years ago was a well liked man by everyone, Gene. he did all right to begin with, but after several months he got very forgetful. Would leave the prep plant with the train and not bother to call track crew. it got scary as you can imagine. I almost went to the safety committee to report him, but made sure I was off track when he was running in plenty of time before I knew he would get train loaded. Well wasn't too long after that he got sick. Went to the doctor and found out he had a rare brain disorder that was caused by eating a lot of deer meat. He loved deer meat. Deer here had a disease and apparently he ate too much meat from a diseased deer. He went downhill fast, within a month he passed away. He was a big man and when he died was almost a vegetable. We all thought he was a big goof up, but little did we know what was going on with an internal brain malfunction. Very sad story.
