advantages and disadvantages; electronics add complexity and points of failure. But can make devices easier to operate, and probably add efficiency with the ability to respond to various conditions.
Trains don't run? Current locomotives move incredible freight efficiently with far less pollution and fuel consumption. You do not know what you're talking about
I want to know who the diesel dr is that the dispatcher asked the crew if they called. I figured the railroad has their own techs unless, it’s slang for their top diesel wizard
Nice video. I have a question I hope you can answer. I've seen many video's of oil trains, and all have a grain car or box car between locomotive and first oil car. Is there a specific reason for this?
+BUNCHofxs A crumple care would be a one time use. But I have thought a flexible frame buffer car would work, but it's much more convenient and works to use hoppers or boxcars.
The "ADM" symbol on the tank cars is an abbreviation for Archer Daniels Midland. The cars are most likely filled with ethanol (alcohol) derived from corn.
Where do you get the radio frequencies like that. The ones I have for my area are always dead. Do you just scan 160.0000 - 161.000 till you find an active frequency? (I was under the impression that most, if not all, rail com was in that frequency range, Maybe I'm wrong?).
so a 1 1/3 mile train with only two locos in the snow ? thats pretty impressive
If the cars are empty it's not that much of a problem. But loaded...different story
Canadians...
Thank you for your response on the buffer car, really appreciated.
This is great. That’s Sandy Tocyloski dispatching, Davy Jones conductor.
Great scene and nice radio chatter!
Cheers Gregg:-)
It's also troublesome in a country with snow. Must be very careful. Greetings from Indonesia.
CALL THE DIESEL DOCTOR!!!!
Nice and "cool" video. Happy to sit in-door when watching
trains provide more and better jobs then any pipe line .
Nice catch
Now, this is strange. They say it is a diesel locomotive, but it runs on a computer.
I had a diesel car... it had computers too.
Why is that surprising? Also, it is run by a computer, not on one.
Their diesel-electric locomotives.
Nice Nathan K5HL
Great catch though!
Thank you very much.
Excellent videos :)
Thanks
You're welcome :)
that bell would drive me nuts.
i hate snow ! but i love catches like this ! nice one man !
How do you get a dispatcher radio
It’s not loading. Do they mean the computer is not loading?
Means the engine isnt loading power due to an electrical issue or mechanical issue.
More like an electrical or mechanical PROBLEM.
In basic terms theres no power going from the engine into the wheels
Oh damn I was hoping for a stall.
Like a Christmas card for Houstonians!
Cool to see, but where on CP was this caught?
I actually thought that was an SD70M-2 at the beginning
Thanks!!!
That's what you get with computers in vehicles trains that don't run, cars and trucks that don't run, and planes that don't fly.
Uh, that's one of the reasons they run as well as they do. Never experienced any probs with controller unit in any vehicle. Why so pessimistic?

I am a diesel doctor.. but not "the" diesel doctor..
Where was this caught?

Gary Plastek Thanks for the comment. The buffer car is used to meet regulations regarding how close hazardous material can be to occupied locomotives.
Gary Plastek They are usually empty in the front middle ad rear and act as a buffer for low-speed collisions.
This Guy They should make a crumple car specifically for that purpose.
+BUNCHofxs A crumple care would be a one time use. But I have thought a flexible frame buffer car would work, but it's much more convenient and works to use hoppers or boxcars.
Gary Plastek railroaders call them cover cars. They also put them on the rear if pushers come into play.
can anyone tell me why do they run such large trains. is it for economy, or are they short of staff.
silverviking33 that’s a fairly normal length oil train 110 oil. Sometimes the empty oil trains get doubled up if a certain subdivision is short of men
Oh, for the good old days when most things could be fixed with nothing more than a forceful tap with a 4lb hammer!!!
Will crude oil blow up on snow?

Heavy snow doesnt stop a unit lol.
Make more make more make more
Amazing video. Love the intro :)
😍💙❤💛
Do you think the drivers breath stank?
The diesel doctor?? Lol.
That cracked me up too..
Call Doctor Diesel for a flu shot 1:00

Need to scan 160.000 -162.000
