  • 6868 makes a stop at the La Plata station, helped by 4921. Judging by the hose, a coolant issue. The lash-up reverses back east after the crew is finished. Sped up for your viewing pleasure. Happened on June 8, 2018.

    The cool part is how they stopped in front of the camera

    Long pit stop. "Give me 4 fresh Goodyears and a can of Sunoco race fuel, and make a right side wedge adjustment."

    I watched this on the re-wind about 1 hour after ... Virtual Railfan may want to go back and add a few seconds of video where they try to restart 6868 and you can see the loco side panels "bulge out/in" trying to start 6868. Quite amazing the "bulging in/out" ...... very dramatic ....

      Saw that guy show up with that hose two hours before the engine arrived. Nobody could figure out what he was doing there or who he worked for. Hose was gone the next morning.

    At 5:30 in the morning, I imagine there were not a lot of viewers on the webcam. But I bet those who were watching had a lively chat for that hour.

    the unit has an active issue for cooling performance degraded and low water pressure issues. Unit required water but never restarted according to the log

    • @planca3430
      @planca3430 6 років тому

      i thought most engines your suppost to run the engine when hot while adding water to get the water in the system? or am i wrong? i know on cars or trucks you are suppost too

    • @millertime4x494
      @millertime4x494 6 років тому +1

      The unit had already shutdown due to low water and could not be restarted or attempt a restart until water was added.

    • @DC9Douglas
      @DC9Douglas 6 років тому +2

      planca3430 definately not supposed to add cold water to a hot engine in anything.... could damage it, and most cooling systems are pressurized when hot.

    • @woofan11k
      @woofan11k 6 років тому +3

      Likely a water pump. Crew reports unit has low water pressure fault to Ft Worth and then the dispatchers automatically want responders to come out and throw a garden hose in it. If an engine is low on water or throwing faults for low water pressure there is usually a much larger problem.

      They don't "plan" water stops for diesel locomotives. It's reactionary at best if you see this outside of a yard or locomotive shop.
