@Backyard76 Negative. The layshaft is basically a throttle handle directly attached to the fuel injector racks which controls fuel flow to the cylinders. The revving was done by the layshaft. Priming the engine before startup does not make it rev up. Priming only clears the air out of the fuel lines and gets fuel into the cylinders to enable starting. And your first sentence makes no sense. the valves are mechanically driven by the cam. Those are internal parts.

this would get you in allot of trouble but cant resist sharing...when your buddy starts the engine and hes walking back you should hit the emergency engine shut off button and he would be like what the hell?...starts it again...walks away...shuts down again...what the FUCK!
-
@DarkHorseLeather Makes sense, with all that volume there's bound to be potential for condensation. It would have to be some kind of check valve no?
-
uh, why are the controls on the opposite side of where they should be?

We open the Cylinder cocks on our
SD 10. At the WhiteWater Valley RR.

It is a reversed cab, NS tradition was always long nosed first.

@skyav8r, OMG! At the academy they drilled that into our heads. The Cylinder cocks must be oped up prior to engine start up. I guess the newer ones dont really have to do that. However I did have to do it with the short lines. Engines were shut down for the night.

where's your train master? two nuckleheads starting up an engine with their safety glasses on top of your head and another one wondering around on the tracks like he's lost (actually stepping on both rails) ........nice.

@chrstphrharp1 Captain didn't step on the rail. Your delusional.

One thing I noticed was they didnt open up all the cylinder cocks and rolling the engine over a few turns to allow condensation out before starting the engine. Big No No. That risks bending a connecting rod, or damaging the engine in other ways!

@DarkHorseLeather HaHa, That's funny. Nobody does that anymore. I know I haven't done it in years.
