Engines Wishlist for Jointed Rail.
- Thread starter cabuse
- Start date
Perhaps a project for Mike.
Looks like a yard slug that had a cab added to it.

I could really get into some W&W stuff.

That photo of NS 4000 can't be found anywhere on any of Norfolk Southern's websites or facebook. Looks like a photoshop. The NS AC44C6M's are currently in primer paint as of Late October, early November...
That, and i'm pretty sure NS wouldn't paint a locomotive they converted from a DC powered C40-9W to an AC powered AC44 clone in some sort of commemorative scheme...
Also, CP isn't merging with NS, Norfolk Southern has made it very clear that they don't want to be taken over...

Sad, I did want this to happen

Why are railroads OBSESSED with AC traction now? CN and NS, the last DC lovers... are AC crazy now
AC traction motors are more powerful than DC motors. This means you need less AC traction less locomotives to haul the same train as DC traction locomotives. For example, BN found that three SD70MACs could replace five SD40-2s on a coal train. Also, AC motors have less parts, making them easier to maintain. Because they have less parts, this makes them more robust. DC motors have what's called a 'short-time rating', which is how long they can handle a higher amperage then they are designed to handle before the motors are damaged due to the higher amperage. Because of the AC motors' design, they have no 'short-time rating'. This means that they can creep at slow speeds for an indefinite amount of time, making them ideal for trains such as coal trains or intermodal container trains.
CPRail, you know you can edit your posts, right?
No need to create two, three, or even five posts in quick succession like that.

The SD60Es have been released early to Club Car members.

According to NS themselves, Casey posted the photos too soon, and so they took them down so that they could do a few tweaks to the paint.

certainly has an admiral cab - none of the Southern SD40-2s still retain their high noses
