NKP 765 & PM 1225 doubleheader excursion - Oct 3 2009 - Part 4

Which one of them is stronger?

[TheIrishMikeB]

@09JDCTrainMan I'd speculate that they're very close in horsepower and tractive effort. They're almost exact duplicates of each other. NKP 765 had been more recently given a complete rebuild, so it may have a slight advantage. I'm not sure if they've done any dynamometer testing on them for comparison.

@09JDCTrainMan #1225 has about 10,000 more pounds of tractive effort than #765 due to her being built with slightly larger cylinders.

Awesome! I wish I'd been there to see this, but you did a great job recording it!

I'ts beautiful to see these engines run. Especially in Autum when the leaves are in so many different colors!

[09JDCTrainMan]

You can see a rainbow @ 1:56.

Looks like something right out of the late 40's

Great Camera Work!

Now that's some nice video. Good locations and the camera on a tripod. Smooth and steady . Great!
