CN's SD60's are terrible, terrible units when they are in idle while travelling at higher speeds. They bounce around like you wouldn't believe. It gets worrysome at times.
-
hydraulic suspension haha
-
@yodonvito4 No, the C40-8M's are staying. They knocked em down to 3400hp tho.
-
The verticial (up and down) bouncing is really no concern. The suspension just takes the impact of the bounce. It's the side to side that causes wrecks.

@Guilford88panam it almost brings me back to when my dad worked for the CNW and the Rock Island was still running. i can remember going down to visit the Rock with my dad in the late 70s, i was a kid back then but i still remember the train rock-in-and-rollin. they need to sand blast those engines and paint one red and yellow, and the other maroon and yellow-and we would have a modern day rock island.

@BNSFrailfan all of us here in Chicago are waiting for the big one, my house is now covered on 3 sides of the CN. i used to operate trains on this line under CC&P railroad. it was amazing on how bad the track was when they bought it in 1985, something like 400 some slow orders-and watch it be revamped by CC and GE capital- i dont remember how many slow orders there were in the last year 1995 but im sure it was atleast a dozen. when CC resold or from 92-95 we did 49mph, never bounced or rocked

what a shame
-
@Guilford88panam If anything the engineer was probably fighting off the urge to knock be rocked to sleep. Seriously. Sometimes the cab motion has a tendency to just lull you to sleep.
No...this crew was doing a good job moving a train over track equipped to handle this tonnage at this speed. It's not perfect track...but it's not alarming.

Do you mean, endangered 'zebra' scheme?

Well that too, but CN is getting rid of the SD50s/60s.
ic6071 3 years ago
Boing, boing, boing! I like seeing those classic CN units better than an IC, WC or GTW repaint.
HighIronofWisconsin 3 years ago
Yeah, same here, but I'll still take a regular IC GTW or WC over these guys!
