Norfolk Southern Frankenstein test and trouble on CSX!

A normal day of testing more NS Frankenstein creations at Wabtec was made more exciting when CSX had to change out a seized traction motor on a locomotive on the main! It is interesting to watch Winters Rigging doing what they do best!

The really interesting part was watching the NS units being load tested using each one in full dynamic braking giving the other a heavy load to pull on.

[@ljones121]

That's the standard way GE/Wabtec tests most locomotives, usually they have 2 or 3 resident plant locomotives tied on to act as weight

Awesome catches here, the NS units looked great, cool you caught them. And excellent coverage of the CSX maintenance crew 👍

Nice catch

[@stephankoenig6113]

Thanks!

[@natgass8102]

interesting that they are designed so there’s 3 separate units that are independent plug and play, smart engineering

[@paulw.woodring7304]

That can be done on AC traction motors.

Boy, I know that engine felt much better!!!😆😆😆

4810 has 2 pieces of BNSF sheetmetal on its long hood.

[@stephankoenig5481]

They will be getting several former BNF dash 9s too

[@parjanyamevada9297]

For rebuild? ​@@stephankoenig5481

[@AlexThePatriot]

Whats different about the cabs on the ns engines?

[@stephankoenig5481]

A more updated version

[@RailfanFox]

They are dash 9's rebuilt with basically modern GEVO cabs (ES44) and inverter cabinet, swapped from DC to AC traction, their traction motors are swapped to work for AC, and they have added weight to reach around 430,000 LBS, and probably have other electronics updated aswell in them

Bad traction motor

Stupid roof head lights

[@user-mr3ct1dm9p]

These newer locos are all stupid.

Nose lights are dumb
