@GordonTurnerpark Hey guy seems like your nit picking videos to leave negative comments but thats ok I said that statement because he enjoys his job and has fun while doing it and goes about it with a safe manner and to my that is one of the best ways you can be
@CQDX018 I had kind of an asshole critique. Sorry about that. You caught me on a bad day waiting in a dorm for that very train. I do use these videos to explain what it is I do to my 6-year-old. I might add that the best engineer on a given day is the one who doesn't get me fired or killed. The importance that train "hobbyists" (I view buff as a derogatory term) put on a Shave and Haircut is what kind of set me off.
Long time, I hit it real hard in 99. I was 9 years old and I used to wave to all the guys and they got to know me. My Grandpa and I shared this hobby for years. He is not out any more. He had a surgeory and the doctor messed it up so he is not to good. He drove me places, etc. The crews made us 2 hats. On his it says Grandpa and mine Kevin with units in the back ground. Years and years later crews will know you. Now a buddy moved to town named Dan (NSfan65) and we go out all the time. Long story
no almost all GE freight locos at least have 5000 gallon fuel tanks. the numbers are always horsepower. AC4400CW has 4400 hp, AC6000cw has 6000 hp, ES44DC has 4400 hp, etc. nice catch and cool horn show.
Very simple, ES-40(4000gallons of fuel) DC. 4000 Gallons other than the ES44(4400gallons of fuel.) All companies other than NS buy ES44DC or AC's they are all 4400 gallons. NS is saving down on fuel. D9-40CW D9-44CW, see what I mean? Very simple process, all about the fuel.
How the heck do you know he is one of the best engineers out there? The stuff you guys think is important is actually quite trivial.

That ties in to it also, but the fuel plus horsepower is the number results.
