Fascinating machines. I have been though 15 or more times. They are called mules and I believe equipped with auto tensioning winches.... They have been known to be pulled into the lochs. a very dangerous job although a rare occurance...,
I went through the Canal decades ago. At that time the "Mules" appeared to have been built by GE. The new Canal locks use tugboats rather than the "mules" to shepherd the ships through.
The fact that they can make it up those slopes with what seems to be no help is amazing, although they are short, it's still hard to go up at least 25° grades.
Fredag den 25 december 2020. Juldagen. Merry christmas! Hello Marshall ! Isn't there a row of cogs between the rails. That is probably needed to pull the ships all the way. I dont know the english word for cogbar? A bar with cogs. "Kuggstång" in swedish. Additionally the tracks need to be designed so the ships dont pull the locomotives down into the lock. Tomas. Före detta skeppare på s/y Ofelia och Pappa till ”Fallet Axel, 29 år!" på (Gidlöf.se or Tomasgidlof.se )
When my wife and I went through the Canal a few years back it was my understanding the ship uses own power to move, the mules only keep the ship in place not hit the sides of the locks gates or walls of the canal.
I was watching a cruise ship captain talking about the differences between the new bigger lane and the older ones. He said on the lanes with the locomotives you had to turn your engines off. Don't know if that is true but that's what he said.
Thanks for sharing this. I love that they pick up electricity from the track just like model trains. The National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis has one of the original GE locos from the canal. This is the first electric cog railway I have ever seen. I assume there is a cog that locks into those notches in the middle when it climbs and descends those massive hills. For such an impressive set up it is hard to find info on .
they are NOT towing the ships, but funktion as brakes and hold the ships in the middle. just look crefully at the clip and you see the ship is going at owm power. see the watermovement from the shis propellor.
I have done this transit a couple of times in my life . If I am not wrong you must be sitting at the St paderos lock gate galleria. Panama have hot sunny day suddenly turning to heavy rain and thunder..
Traction comes from the geared track ..or it would got wheel slip climbing up or towing weight ...they have got enough torque to move biggest container ship..the Panama canal haulers
Those cables running sideways from the loco would exert a huge sideways pull. I was wondering that they don't tend to pull it off the rails -- but probably, the thick middle rail has a cross-section that dovetails with a sliding part on the engine that anchors it to the rail.
for what i could find on the internet, it is indeed stuck to the middle racked rail. i thought it had a counter wheel on the land side like a rollercoaster but that's just the electrical hook up. so they could potentially end up in the lock.. but i seen a video of one getting flattened by a ship and not even derailing so they are built tough.
hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day. Goodnight the greatness in you is beautiful
Hay una cremallera para lograr la adherencia,,sino seria imposible con esta pendiente.Estas locomotoras tienen una enorme fuerza de traccion,,no importa la velocidad,,,Si el torque.
You can look it up but I think that is something on the order of 3-5% which equates to thousands each year. They generally sink after awhile but some stay afloat and become a hazard.
Now I understand why the new locks are so much more efficient: The cog trains all return empty after each escort through the lock, the new system has tug boats escort the next ship back down the locks after escorting one up. No wasted trip like these loooong sloooow empty returns.
If you please, minimum data available on Wikipedia, can you detail technical caracterisic, power, "crémaillère", synchronisation... etc.. Thanck you very much. And thancks for this very interesting vidéo.
they DO NOT Tow the ships, they hold the ships in the middle and they stop the ships. as you clearly can see in the first moment of the film, you clearly can see the white water from ships propellor

The ships engines power it through the locks. The electric mules are used to steady the ship while going into & out of the locks. They don't want the ship to hit the sides of the locks.

Que maravilla de la ingenieria el canal de Panama.
The close ups are great, but would like to see more of the canal at a distance as well.

@@maxischew514 llllllllll
I was stationed in Panama between 1978 and 1980. I saw the mules almost every day, although they weren't as modern as the ones in this video.
lol, this thing looked like LEGO in the thumbnail. Still does to me.
THANK YOU !
Same here!
me too at the beginning!

That’s right: ships use their own propulsion and the mules keep them off the sides. (I sailed as chief officer through the Canal.)
what happened to the ship that got stuck?
@@star-jammer8014 wrong canal. The ship was stuck in the Suez Canal.
Well protected, see how the ship moves ,the technology is excellent.

Air conditioning in Panamá is not a luxury but a necessity!
This job is pretty dangerous.
LOL i got here through watching mini train models! until i saw a bird fly in the vid i couldnt figure out how they got the waves to look real!
Marc St.james lol

did not know that japan electric motor inside the train use pull towing the ship...
that is great idea
Actually they don't pull the ship, they keep if from slamming into the walls off the locks, the ship propels itself

If the man doesn't move on that locomotive, I won't believe it's a original one. Look exactly like an rc model.
The little engines that could, on the job.

They stopped these pulling locomotive.. I think due to the recent container ship accident.. which done huge damage to one of those locomotive..

Very nice
...... Mules are used for side-to-side and braking control in the locks. Forward motion into and through the locks is provided by the ship's engines.
Very nice video!!!
I wonder how many shipping containers have been lost at sea.
You can look it up but I think that is something on the order of 3-5% which equates to thousands each year. They generally sink after awhile but some stay afloat and become a hazard.
Ray C. Thank you. I often wonder how they can stack so many containers on those barges without more losses.

At first time, i think thumbnail is toy, lol :v
The original "mules" were built by General Electric and served from the opening of the canal until about 2000. Nothing lasts forever.
John Kailua I would like to preserve one of these when they become obsolete
@@TrainFan119 They've probably been in a scrapyard in Panama for 20 years.

Like tugboats but on rail tracks.
anyone else want to see a boat pulling that locomotive in the water?
Disculpen es con respeto q no puedo ir tengo 70años
Imagine what it was like when they were using Steam...
No steam. The canal always used the electric mules to steady the ships while going thru the locks.
Link to the older models: www.panamarailroad.org/loco.html
Oh? I thought they used steam when the Canal first opened. Thank you for the correction, you learn something new everyday! :)

Do they use a cog rail system to climb the hills?
Robert Heinkel Yes
Robert Heinkel 😈😈😈😈😈

yes they use a central cog in line with the axel on the wheels and the rail. i think
Does the ship use its own engine or do the locos do all the work?
The ships engines power it through the locks. The electric mules are used to steady the ship while going into & out of the locks. They don't want the ship to hit the sides of the locks.
