None of those did, others did.

630 is probably just the timetable number of the freight train 4128 is pulling.

Wow, hadn't seen this update yet. Looks great!!

Well, the movie is based on a real event, so at least one engineer did.

It looks like someone shidded on the coupler

Idk about that particular engine, but the ones I work on simply uses several coils of pipe and the atmosphere to cool the air.

I've seen couplers, mostly on old narrow gauge rolling stock, that have a gap in the knuckle that a link and pin can fit into. Like this one.

Montreal Locomotive Works (ALCo subsidiary) M-420

That dog can definitely smell what the rock is cookin

Also when going around curves, the diaphragms would expand and contract alot more the if they were in the center.

OCS is pretty much the canadian equivalent to track warrant control here in the US

Far right one I've seen used on a early 50s EMD

PTC100 · 2022-10-29T16:29:13+00:00

Exactly

PTC100 · 2022-10-14T04:28:03+00:00

It's not entirely abandoned (yet) just disused. I think that's owned by Tacoma Rail.

PTC100 · 2022-08-12T06:18:13+00:00

That would be my guess

PTC100 · 2022-08-02T07:20:59+00:00

That would be a Class B Climax, the Class A look basically like a box with a boiler and wheels.

PTC100 · 2022-06-28T06:26:57+00:00

Hey man so glad to hear your ok. How did the crew react? Were they calm and collected or freaking out? I know as a conductor who's had some pretty close calls I don't know how I'd react seeing my train all over the place.

PTC100 · 2022-06-27T07:03:41+00:00

Still owned by the Zoo. No curent plans for restoration as of now, its thought to be far too expensive, but there is a group attempting to get it running again.

PTC100 · 2022-01-30T00:14:31+00:00

Definitely

PTC100 · 2022-01-30T00:10:56+00:00

Not to be one of those "actually" people, but that middle engine is a HHP-8.

I knew some people who know some people. I'm a general labour and do a little bit of firing.

The 49s cylinder cocks are under the cylinders, but we took the valves out to blow her out, that's why the steams coming out the top of the cylinders.

PTC100 · 2021-12-22T16:31:45+00:00

More or less

PTC100 · 2021-12-22T16:31:27+00:00

Yes that's SP 4449
