Good vid. Just curious, not to sound obnoxious or anything, but how are the members at La Mesa? All to often many clubs or societies have ego problems.

I've operated GE's on my run that do exactly what the video has shown, sometimes flames even larger than that coming out of the stack, it doesn't last long though.. Dirty eductor tubes most of the time, just in need of carbon cleanout.

This does happen.

@TruegrassBoy Then I guess Amtrak and several other commuter operations are unsafe. They use push/pull trains in the same manner every day. For example, locomotive on one end, cab car on the other and at speeds much higher than Cass is running. If there is a car on the track in the case of Cass...

@deviantLena Stopping on a dime is far better than just stopping wherever, such as in this case. A good hog head, (that's the engineer to you folks not in the know) can stop where he/she wants, not let the train determine that. This hogger that coupled Amtrak is a disgrace.
