That ought to be it's own snow plow at speed.

This is an excellent description on how our Railroads and trucking work together, and why US railroads are the cheapest and most efficient in the world at moving stuff.

They do shine up pretty, don't they? Note to Trump: this is as clean as coal gets.

LiveLeak clip showing--I'm not sure what I'm looking at here--is this a diesel runaway reckon?

fargon · 04-27-2019, 09:39 AM

seriously over fueling, leading to a runaway.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-27-2019, 02:34 PM

The point engine was obviously not running properly, whether over fueled or something else, but If it's a runaway why was the second engine working?

fargon · 04-27-2019, 03:30 PM

Diesel electric train engines do not have a direct connection between the power plant and the wheels. The diesel engine is running away not the train.

Oh OK, I got it now, I was thinking they'd find him in the wreck with his hand on the throttle, scalded to death by the steam.

Ray Magliozzi told me the other day about diesel engine with a failed turbocharger that started sucking up the crankcase oil to use as fuel.
The outcome was not good and may have looked like this at some point.

maybe the second engine was in reverse

or the first engine was in neutral
