Very nice compilation video. That sure is one gaggle of railfans! Equipment on the military train is from 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, ‘The Iron Brigade’, 1st Armored Division from Fort Bliss, TX returning from 9 month rotation to CENTCOM Area of Operations in support of Operation Spartan Shield.

I thought those didn't like to go N8 so slowly. Does the power auto-reduce to minimize strain?

Come off a notch or two and get about 8 lbs on the independent. The problem is more about adhesion then h.p.

@Tolono Ай бұрын
Refers to coupling speed in mph. General rule of thumb for all railcars, but autoracks are prone to damaged/shifted loads because the vehicles inside have the parking brake on but aren't tied down. Often associated with hump yards where they're sorting cars by gravity because all the retarders, computers, etc are designed around it. Someone once told me "it's really 'no more than 3' but that doesn't rhyme"

Why not get a helper? Like a SD70ACU or a SD70ACE or maybe a ES44ACU or ES44CE and maybe a ES44CW it would give less pressure on the locomotive and strain the examples up above examples and ends at it would be great and helpful hope u never give up!

Sad state of affairs that NS is in. Some schoolboy trainmaster probably set this up. "According to my computer, one yard switching engine should be more than enough power to pull 30 autoracks..." never mind that the wheels are rusted to the rails and have the friction of the brakes every time the wheels turn. On the railroad I hired out on, if we were pulling storage cars, they sent every available engine and usually two or three people with trucks so the ground work was minimal, not much walking.
