@randomguy652 Yeah I really do not like the look of european trains. They look really wimpy.

That happened to an Amtrak train once by my house. They had it hauled into a CN train yard to have it fixed after putting an idler on it. The nearest Amtrak Garage was in Chicago and the train was at the Pontiac station.

Y'all know that unstoppable movie? Well I had a train haulin 20,000 tons coast on me and I caught up with it because them throttles don't move out of position. It's impossible,the cab don't vibrate and shake that much. And yes I'll admit that it was a pretty dumb move I've been kickin my self in the ass for letting it happen. But by bein smart and usin my wit I got control of my train in under a minute. I just thought I'd share some of my experiences with y'all.

They replaced the traction motor with a idler axle, un-powered.
Notice the "screech" noise when they lower the locomotive...that is because the winches are lowering using their brakes on the drum...!

It's amazing how little time it takes to replace a traction motor. A U.P. went down just a block or two from my hose and they had it repaired and going again in a couple hours... After they got the new motor that is.

nice sidewinders
Must have been a massive failure for this to be done in the field.

@Huttworker Yes it was. It totally locked up and had a nice flat spot on the wheel. I wanted to get a close up of the wheel but got busy and forgot. :(
Thanks
