The Anthracite RR and Historical Society owns and operates a 1948 F3, seen here when it was painted in CNJ colors, residing in Jim Thorpe, PA. in 2009.
ARRHS member Carl shows us around the cab and engine room of the ex- Bangor and Aroostock unit as he performs periodic maintenance.
This unit, and its sister were moved to Steamtown in Scranton, PA, in 2010 and are now in the DL&W paint scheme.

Spent many hours in that old girl on both sides of the cab when we had it as our #46! She was a good running unit once you learned it's little quirks. We all thought when it left it would be scrapped. Very happy to see and hear it run again!!!!

Same here, except that in my case the station was Nagatino (on the Pavelets line out of Moscow)! BTW, on that line all of the passenger trains are electric (R2 EMUs for the commuter trains, Czech-4 electric locos for the expresses); the freight trains are mostly diesel, though -- mostly Erie-builts and Alco RS3s (oh man, you'd have to see them to believe how much smoke those Alcos put out!), but not a single EMD unit to be seen.

I've always loved trains. They're in my blood. I used to watch them all day run past my backyard as a baby in El Paso, Texas. Years later, I drove a miniature passenger train (an F-styled locomotive too), and hauled I don't know how many passengers around the track in eight years. Even had the complete outfit, complete with the engineer's cap.

I lived on the West Side of the Central Valley, CA. During cantaloupe season the packing houses would load up melons all night long to the refrigerated cars. The entire town would rumble when the engines would shuttle and make up cars. When an engine would couple up you could hear the slack in the couplers thump all down the line. The engine would be rolling while the last cars would stand still while the couplers would slack in the direction of pull and you would hear the clunk again as the engine would pull away.

The NY,NH&H RR used EMD FL9's, specially built. F=1400hp, L9=longer by 9 feet for the addition of a steam boiler to heat the coaches and a retractable shoe on the side for running on 3rd rail power in and out of NY where exhaust smoke was prohibited. They had a melodious 3 chime Hancock air chime horn and a distinctive kind of tone from the roots blower, very unlike the whine of a turbo. The 567 prime mover had a cadic rhythm with a faster, smoother beat than that of a chugging Alco. They were the varnish through the 80's and a few are still in service at Museums.

@johntapp9670
@johntapp9670 5 жыл бұрын
Actually, yes. The flanged wheels keep the entire train on the track. There were steam locomotives that had a huge valve handle where a steering wheel would be. An engineer with a very weird since of humor once loved to pretend he was "driving." One time, they were going on a winding stretch of track, and he turned to the brakeman and said, "Hey, Brakey, could you take the wheel while I go to the coal pile?" That poor brakeman was sweating blood "driving" the train over all that winding railroad until the engineer got back.

One thing he got wrong is on the automatic brake valve, the position all the way over to the left is Full Release, it allows an extra amount of charging the train line. The traction motors go from Series to Paralell to parallel shunt on an EMD. I cut my teeth on these engines on the BN.
@roycefaggotter6860
@roycefaggotter6860 6 жыл бұрын
You are both confused with your terminology and operation, fully left is full release, which gives full recharge of train brake, not to confuse that with locomotive brakes, which is also give full release to the left, so both handles are in full release to the left which releases all brakes on trucks and fully recharges auxiliary reservoirs on the trucks, so in effect that is the running position, first position to your right on the train brake gives minimum reduction, 7 lbs if i remember correctly which gives initial application of brakes on all trucks, it is at this point the locomotive driver in (Australian terms) holds the independent brake in full release to stop engine brakes coming on, you can then continue to the right to make further reduction up to a maximum of 25 lb on the train brakes, to give further braking effect, to apply truck brakes harder, or fully right, which goes to emergency, venting all air from train pipe, as fast as possible, for emergency stopping. 26 L is the same operation, excepts you hold the independent brake lever down. instead of pushing it fully to the left. I agree with you on the series to parallel shunting with the traction motors. 24 years driving trains in S.A.
