The slug numbered 866 you saw is an ancient alco rebuild of an RSD12 in the 1950s. She was originally built for the nickel plate road, went to the N&W, then was rebuilt. She is one of less than 5 alco rebuilds still in operation on NS. Another fascinating part about this unit is that it worked with steam engines. The last of the NKP steam locomotives were retired in 1964, she was built in 1958.

Yay!🎉 it was taken in my favourite city Atlanta Georgia 🏢🏫🏤🏣🏨🏥⛪️

NS doesn’t have any ES44C4s. 👍

I know exactly what that's like. I just missed a NS heritage SD70ACe this week, and I missed a rare FXE SD40-2 couple weeks ago 🤦.

2:28 & 4:51 is me 🤫🤫 And i am EXTREMELY proud to say i was part of the cause of this 8098 fumble!

This is my n scale 0-6-0 when I give it 5 cars to pull and/or my dash 8 when I give it 10 cars.

Exactly right, apply the trainline about 10lbs, let it admit setup, bunch up the slack, release brakes while you're bunching it up, then pull on it. Time your brakes right and it normally works. Fairly simple physics like you said. So you had the right idea

It’s another day and another loco video

The music used for that stupid all-EMD lashup is just perfect. A hint of chaos along with a hint of just pure bliss as you think "What in God's name am I looking at"

EMDs blow off white smoke after they've been idling for a long period of time. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty sure I just fumbled the bag with that exact WFRX mac, also CFE Dash 8's Go crazy Out Here!

Amazing video as usual brotha! Unfortunate that you missed 8098 but you got so much more amazing stuff to compensate. I’m glad to have been able to lend you a snippet of my subpar video, but it fit well into your production. ✌️

That blue unit at the shop is an ex CEFX now owned by NS.

Ironically when the 1251 clip rolled, I just remembered, last Friday I caught 7019 leading only 1-2 hours after seeing NS 1250 AND a UP SD40N Snoot Nose paired together, talk about luck...

That ST 70 IOCC looks beautiful

Not the Conrail! When 8103 comes by there, I am hoping you see it.

Dont let your camcorder die this time

I’ve got to have watched this over 2 to 3 times while cleaning my room good video @Locopro

Nice video! It sucks that you missed 8098 but at least you got a lot of other trains while you were out, that’s what I love about Atlanta railfanning despite the bad areas and/or bad parking. That blue unit in Inman at 20:27 was likely a bought out CEFX unit that NS has. They bought a bunch of those CEFX units (including the CMQ ones featured in some of your previous videos) back in the late summer of last year. As for the comment at 38:42 I’m not sure how the physics work for that either but I have seen it in action. I got a really crazy wheel slip catch last April and the engineer on the train did just that, he pushed the slack together and was able to get going.

@markfisher1392

3 ай бұрын

All trains have slack. It's designed into the draft gear of cars for precisely this reason. It's much easier to get 1, 2, 3, 4 or more cars started rolling rather than an entire train at once. By pushing back on the consist, they're pushing the slack "in", maybe up to 4-5 inches per car. Once enough slack is pushed in, they can proceed forward and get a bit of a running start car-by-car. The trick is not taking off too fast and breaking a knuckle back in the consist. Same problem when braking -- you'll hear slack running in (a series of bangs) if the head-end slows down before the rear of the train, or when descending a grade. That's why engineers will apply power after topping a hill while simultaneously applying brakes -- to keep the train "stretched" and avoid slack run-in.

Great vid Loco!!

Great work as always man! Keep it up!

I’m having worse luck with the CSX heritage units. Only up to three now.

ACe and IAC/ICC differences are internal and improved Tractive effort and cut/outs for the engineer Names help mechanical distinguish the differences ACe has inverter per truck which means if a traction motor fails on a truck the whole truck has to be cut out IAC has an inverter per truck which means if and any Traction motor fails you only have to cut out that axel and not the whole truck ……..Individual Axel Control which ICC also has So that may excite gearheads
