  • @amarkanders777 that reg was passed in 1995...I found this out while doing a model railroad layout...it was stated in a book I have and that they were removed from all rail service on ALL class 1 railroad cars some time during the late summer

  • @TheMicksterdee No, the inspector is given authority from the dispatcher, usuallt it's called "track & time," it simple gives the inspector their limits of authority. Under track and time you can pass red signals without stopping. It allows the inspector to follow a train, but he has to have a briefing with the train's crew to let them know not to back up because he'll be right behind them.

  • @amarkanders777 The journals can still burn out though

  • @vettelover2009 The car is jacked up and a new axle+wheelset is put in

  • stainted: ALL cars on ALL Class I RRs are now Roller Bearing... No More Hot Boxes (they were axles on brass bearings). the 'Box' was a container that held lube; GONE.

  • Dang foamers.  We engineers can't stand it.

  • Nice, like the point of view very much... I hope that wasn't the engineer! lol Everyone wants to be in the movie without buying a ticket........

  • @Aaronlamb1 oh...didn't know that...so how do they set them up if its just a wheel that goes bad, but no journal box?

  • @vettelover2009 Not all cars have journal boxes. alot of times you just have a wheel that goes bad.

  • @Aaronlamb1 I thought hot box referred to the journal box overheating?
