Back in 1986-87, some Ohio government official claimed he stopped the railroads from bringing New York garbage to our landfills here in Ohio. I was driving a semi-truck for MidWestern Distribution. I made several round trips, from Detroit to New Jersey delivering pickup truck frames, then went to Long Island where I was loaded with bales of foul garbage, that were leaking nasty stuff out of the trailer. It was so bad that I had to drop the trailer on the side of an off ramp on the freeway, so I could go to a truck stop to fuel up and get something to eat. Then went to a landfill down around Cambridge, then to some other place to have the trailer pressure washed and sanitized. It still smelled bad.

One of the major benefits of EMDs is that they are not only very reliable, but when one does have an issue it is nearly always a pretty straight-forward and quick fix. That's why EMDs dominate out here in Australia hauling huge coal and iron ore trains through the harsh desert environment, they're just unbreakable. If you don't have a reliable locomotive you don't pull trains through an inhospitable desert when help is hours away. Contrast that environment with the harsh winters in Canada and the northern US and they work just as well. A classic example of the old adage "if it ain't broke"....

An SD40-2 typically runs the prime mover at around notch 4 rpm in dynamic braking in order to power the traction motor blower, which is connected directly to the engine. As far as I know, that means if the engine is off, no dynamic braking.

@trainiax3 жыл бұрын
Well, the weight of a dead SD40-2 is only about 50% heavier than a single loaded freight car. As long as they didn't go too far into the short-term amperage ratings of the traction motors, operating the remaining unit in notch 8 wouldn't really be much harder on it than having two units operating in notch 8 at a higher speed.
