@jmream1 Yea bud. All locomotives have a (rear generator) study up on how locomotives work. Its a locked axle. Comment on shit that you guys know half ass how it works. I never comment but sometimes you people have nothing better to do than show how stupid and bored you really are.
oh and a quick question to those of you who are not inept with train stuff, what the hell was that fourth one? the one that was like half the height of the other engines?
@D3athcricket That's called a Slug.Its design is to add active traction to locomotive without adding a second full Locomotive.Go to wikipedia and type in "Slug_(railroad)" to get a full idea of what it is and uses.
its called a slug... essentially half a unit...all its comprised of is traction motors and a large weight... they draw power from the connected Units and add a bit of traction w/o using extra fuel or units that could be used else were.
@xtraboard ...well, in the yard we called the head-end position "engine man", but transfers from the mainline like myself used some of the old main line terms, such as "brakeman" as we had dual rights on Atlanta Terminal. As I recall, the particular trip I mentioned was my 2nd or 3rd trip out of Industry Yard, so I wasn't then familiar with the "to hell with it" syndrome. And there were 4 on a crew then, too. ( Yard "field man" = mainline "flagman" ; yard "foreman" = mainline "conductor" )
I smell an investigation!...One night on the Center Road job we had 110 empties for Inman coming out of East Point , two 8200's for horses. By the time we topped out at Spring, we had fire coming from the traction motors of the trailing unit. I was alarmed, but my conductor reassured me that all was well as his plan to get an early quit was soon realized. He just let the thing burn up.The locomotive : bad ordered and Pegram-bound.
This is the REASON THERE WAS ALWAYS BEFORE a brakeman and a caboose. In the interest of profit, the railroads have eliminated all that. Less eyes watching, more chance for things to go wrong. How much was saved compared to an engine truck coming apart and causing a wreck worth millions in damage and lost lives?
@gattosub The Caboose was replaced by something called FRED "Flashing Rear End Device". These devices are supposed to also be able to electronically monitor brake pressure and all mechanical activity at the rear of the train, thus eliminating the need for a brakeman and conductor
I think the engineers were having anal sex and not paying attention to what was going on around them. Just another bad result of sexual activity at work as well as school.
haha, wow! 5 years ago my mom and dad seen a NFS engine passing through town and on the 2nd engine, fire was shooting out of the over head exhaust. They said it wasnt just a small flame it was huge. My mom dialed 911 and the dispatcher said to her "Well did you call the fire department?" lol! Yeah, picture this ol wise dispatcher; a fire engine running down these beasts trying to sprinkle water on them.
read the desc. the 4th axle on 6199 it fails causing to probably jam it
I am gonna tell you about how i stop a train quicker on Trainz2010. step one apply the indepenant Step 2 apply the dynamic brake step 3 apply the train brake Notice: dont worry about losing your brakes step 4 gun the train in the other dierection

@mark10788 That's not the way to stop a train in real life. Dynamic brakes are there to allow for controlled movement up and down grades. Locomotive brakes (Not independant) are for the locomotives only. They don't apply brakes on the whole train. You only apply train brakes. And you don't put the train in reverse to slow the train down. What you did, if done in real life, is probably worse than what happened in the video. Gives me more reason to say Trainz is not a simulator.
@Limskjordan dynamic brakes are also used to slow the train down from speed to help save wear on both the locomotive and train brakes. Also, depending on the train's length and weight, you can stop with jus the locomotive brakes.
I had one catch fire on me, east bound Port Rd between Conowingo & Port Deposit (CP Port). Lead unit was blowing oil on the rest of the consist. I had 80 loads of coal & was dynamic braking. The 2nd unit DB grid caught fire, melted the fan! The Perryville VFC had to be called to extinguish.
@GintaPPE1000 Like I have Ideas for make an e bell look like a mechanical and the sound it gives out are adjustable like it will have the same cling sound as a mechanical bell. When it gives its last ring. I will do its last ring and let it resonate.
Wow you catch alot of things that we don't see everyday like the runaway horse in front of a train bla bla bla video. you are very lucky to live there:)
For those who care, this isn't a stuck hand brake, the hand brake is on the front trucks, not the rear trucks on this particular locomotive. This looks to be either a bad axel or some machinist forgot to put crater in the TM, either way, it's a bad day for this crew
That is great that other railroads still have hostlers but this is an NS train in Pennsylvania and the hostler job title was done away with in this area a long time ago as I said.
I guess the FRA wants me to clock in under HOSTLING LOCOMOTIVES and sign the Hours of service log for no reason at all.... by the way, my job title..... Outside Hostler..... so not sure what railroad you are talking about exactly... maybe NS... not sure... but Union Pacific definitely still has hostlers. Just thought you would like to know
@4freespeech And not stopping just might cost him his job. What if the axle failed or the wheel got turned off the axle and it derailed. What if it happened as another train was passing. This is a STOP situation. It is unsafe to continue.
Looks like a defective brake cylinder on the axle-a leak in the cylinder would ensure the brakes on that axle would not release, causing the sparks seen. Simple physics.
@Class37Thrash You cannot overcharge these brakes deliberately. The engineer would simply bail off if brakes were stuck on a locomotive. In this case it is one axle so it is either a mechanical issue with the rigging or a handbrake or a siezed axle which is then a failed bearing or a broken tooth on one of the gears between the motor and the axle.
@rockisland57 i was just thinking because on BR locos you hold the brake against the spring and that over charges the brake to release this from dragging brakes, but its different on US locos :)
@lexmarks567 would you believe not all engines have mirrors that arent broken. I ride many engines that dont have mirrors on them. Though the crew should be looking behind them to check out things like that.
And for all of you thrill seekers that think something big is happening here as you stand to close to the track filming it. Let's try a lumber car with a 30 ft length of steel band wire used to hold lumber on it , broken loose and flopping in the wind on a freight moving 50 mph. By the time you realize what is coming toward you, you may not be able to get away from it and may very well cut you in half. Had this been a hot journal and the engine derailed right here, where would you go?
@JerryTaylor501 You would have probably noticed a few things with regards to this vid, dear Mister 'I know eveything' :
- there was no warning that the last engine would have a problem
- the cameraman wasn't encroaching on the property so he wasn't thrill seeking
Now, next time you stand less than 100 feet from a open road, remember that a semi truck or a car driver might have an heart attack or whatever and run on your smart ass...
Don't stay under buildings too, they might collapse.
@061369317 No, I don't know everything, but you obviously do! Not that I need to explain my warnings. But when I was a young engineer working a job on Conrail, I struck and killed a man who was to close to the track. This was the first fatality I was involved in. Seeing that young man's body twisted in half with a pair of earphones still blasting around his neck is something I don't wish on anybody, not alone a know it all like you!.
@JerryTaylor501 I am very sorry to hear about the fatality but how is that related to the previous conversation? The fatality was not your fault. These happen WAY too often. Did CR offer you time off with counciling?
Nonetheless rallygsc, the video is merely a case of a hand brake on the trailing unit that the outbound engineer failed to release upon taking over the power. I worked for Conrail for twenty years as a locomotive engineer and have seen this more than once. Each engineer is responsible for inspecting the engines he takes charge of and obviously, this one did not. As far as a fuel explosion, unless there is an exception to the rule, Diesel fuel will slowly catch fire, but will not explode.
@JerryTaylor501 I remember the move well. It actually turned up to be a locked-up axle on the 6199, and a stuck brake (not hand brake). Just the perfect storm of problems.
This is a case of not releasing the hand brake. Apperently, the engine house hostler brought the engines out using the locomotive on the opposite end. when he changed ends, he cut out the brake valve and tied the hand brake on. The out bound Engineer, getting on the other end , did not check all of the engines or he would have found that hand brake. This is why engineers don't like to be photographed by rail fans. They always show them fucking up.
@JerryTaylor501 A screw up is a screw up regardless, and that's definately not safe, who's to say that that fire doesn't burn things on the ground, or the great maintanence at NS failed to notice a fuel leak and the engine goes BOOM, I have seen it more on CSX and Conrail the shabby repairs, NS not too often
@JerryTaylor501 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. First of all, there are no more hostlers. That craft was done away with more than 20 years ago. Second, the 6199 has the hand brake on the short hood end and not the side that is going up in smoke. Which means that it is not the hand brake like you stated the engineer screwed up. Third, let's see a camera crew follow you around at work and then let's hear how you comment.
@THR33STEP Sorry your wrong.There are still hostlers. Maybe not on your railroad but the BNSF has them along with a few others. I still have my hostler card from there. We have hostlers where I am at right now as well.

And for all of you thrill seekers that think something big is happening here as you stand to close to the track filming it. Let's try a lumber car with a 30 ft length of steel band wire used to hold lumber on it , broken loose and flopping in the wind on a freight moving 50 mph. By the time you realize what is coming toward you, you may not be able to get away from it and may very well cut you in half. Had this been a hot journal and the engine derailed right here, where would you go?

@JerryTaylor501 You would have probably noticed a few things with regards to this vid, dear Mister 'I know eveything' :
- there was no warning that the last engine would have a problem
- the cameraman wasn't encroaching on the property so he wasn't thrill seeking
Now, next time you stand less than 100 feet from a open road, remember that a semi truck or a car driver might have an heart attack or whatever and run on your smart ass...
Don't stay under buildings too, they might collapse.

@061369317 No, I don't know everything, but you obviously do! Not that I need to explain my warnings. But when I was a young engineer working a job on Conrail, I struck and killed a man who was to close to the track. This was the first fatality I was involved in. Seeing that young man's body twisted in half with a pair of earphones still blasting around his neck is something I don't wish on anybody, not alone a know it all like you!.

@JerryTaylor501 I am very sorry to hear about the fatality but how is that related to the previous conversation? The fatality was not your fault. These happen WAY too often. Did CR offer you time off with counciling?

@061369317 Your reply to JerryTaylor501 was flaming more than the axle in your vid! Good job, bro (and a nice catch). Thanks for posting.

Nonetheless rallygsc, the video is merely a case of a hand brake on the trailing unit that the outbound engineer failed to release upon taking over the power. I worked for Conrail for twenty years as a locomotive engineer and have seen this more than once. Each engineer is responsible for inspecting the engines he takes charge of and obviously, this one did not. As far as a fuel explosion, unless there is an exception to the rule, Diesel fuel will slowly catch fire, but will not explode.

@JerryTaylor501 I remember the move well. It actually turned up to be a locked-up axle on the 6199, and a stuck brake (not hand brake). Just the perfect storm of problems.

This is a case of not releasing the hand brake. Apperently, the engine house hostler brought the engines out using the locomotive on the opposite end. when he changed ends, he cut out the brake valve and tied the hand brake on. The out bound Engineer, getting on the other end , did not check all of the engines or he would have found that hand brake. This is why engineers don't like to be photographed by rail fans. They always show them fucking up.

@JerryTaylor501 A screw up is a screw up regardless, and that's definately not safe, who's to say that that fire doesn't burn things on the ground, or the great maintanence at NS failed to notice a fuel leak and the engine goes BOOM, I have seen it more on CSX and Conrail the shabby repairs, NS not too often

@JerryTaylor501 You are so unmistakably wrong and why use the profanities?
THR33STEP 1 year ago
@JerryTaylor501 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. First of all, there are no more hostlers. That craft was done away with more than 20 years ago. Second, the 6199 has the hand brake on the short hood end and not the side that is going up in smoke. Which means that it is not the hand brake like you stated the engineer screwed up. Third, let's see a camera crew follow you around at work and then let's hear how you comment.

@THR33STEP Sorry your wrong.There are still hostlers. Maybe not on your railroad but the BNSF has them along with a few others. I still have my hostler card from there. We have hostlers where I am at right now as well.
