Seen a similar loco to the one leading up close (or the same model), these things are huge, and can really take a beating. Nice quality Rod. thanks for uploading.

@johnnyfarnham Locos have been flogged from day 1. You seem to overlook that I drove these things for many years. We used to pull full loads with all of them and crawl along at 10km/h for hour after hour. We occasionally stalled, slipped wheels, burnt motors and had generators flash over. They put rods out the side, blew off air box covers and had crankcase explosions. I was directly involved in the A/P rebuilds and did a lot of the testing. You only think you know about them, now fuck off !

Would it have helped if the driver had uncoupled a few wagons, take them over the summit and put them in a siding, then bring the rest, put the train back together and went on his way? These may be old locomotives, but they sure have lots of life left.

@BXM4C Dividing and leaving some behind is not permitted under our rules. Economic rationalists have seen to the destruction of most sidings. There is a passing loop just a few km's ahead but as I said the rules don't allow for it. The fact is that had the bonehead that turned one of the locomotives off line remembered to restore it they wouldn't have had a problem.

if you flogged a dog or a horse like that, the RSPCA would have you over a barrel. If they keep that behavior up, their next trip will be to Sims metal in Brooklyn.

@glennofootscray neither you nor the clown below have any idea of how tough these things are and how well designed they were with a view to every single part of them being able to be replaced.
