Description
This channel is all about railfanning railroads of the midwest featuring CSX, CN, UP, NS, and some short line action. I tend to focus on the CSX STL Line and the CE&D subdivisions. I will also get some footage on the Indiana Railroad (INRD) short line in Illinois and Indiana.

May be it needs the UP 844 steam power to come up behind it and give it a push

Awesome catch! That is endlessly fascinating to me to see that much power in action. I love watching the wheels at the rails with the sand and the small slips. Amazing sounds too. Now we just need to get a goat out there to eat the weeds.

You can see the strain in the wheels as the thing catches traction. That is nuts to think of the forces being generated at the track surface. The physics behind moving that much weight on so little.....and people wonder why track crossings are no joke even with slow moving trains.......

That's some great precision railroading right there...

These are the same SD-70m's that run on the B&LE, from Conneaut, Oh to Bessemer, Pa. right next to our house. Awsome machines!

The result of PSR and trying to use one damn engine to move an already overloaded train! The train’s weight was actually dragging him backwards, even though the engine was trying to go forward. Over-tonnaged and too little horsepower.

Just to show how powerful these engines can be

Don't get the logic of making a train so heavy that the available power is having to work at its absolute limit just to try to move it, nevermind haul it. Railroad management is generally pretty stupid, and the bigger the company, the worse the decisions seem to get...

Is 8819 a DPU or is he supposed to be the sole prime mover? Is a good way to trash a unit.

He need some pushers on the end to push him forward

Not actually that much wheel slip going on here , just a locomotive with a heavy load trying to get moving on a gradient

Of course, they could have doubled the train to next siding, but then maybe the computers aren’t programmed for that. Maybe too simple a move or next siding too far away?

Muito peso , alem da capacidade de tração da Locomotiva

Bit of independent would stop it shedding the load like that

4300 dc power wasn’t enough
