Thanks for another great video, Dave. Please keep 'em coming. I'm glad for everyone's sake that the mechanics took your advice. If, heaven forbid, the refurbished radiator were to leak, they's have seen it right away. Thank goodness the replacement was first rate. When it co mes to repairs, you and I are two of a kind: fix it right and be done with it. I repaired a torn switch cover on my flashlight this week. It took three applications of RTV silicone rubber: the first to repair the tare, the second to bond a fabric patch, and the third to assure water tightness. I could have bought a new one for around $10, but that's not my style. You stay safe and well, Sir. I await your next video.
Your welcome Eric and glad you enjoyed it. Your right, if your going to fix something do it the right way. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thanks Dave your awesome, really appreciate you taking us along on these repair jobs, im with you on putting 2 new halves in, and was good to see they did that.. always cool seeing the inner workings of the locos, and thanks for showing the fire suppression.. Good stuff

"Raddiater", love it. Looks like you have a great team with the right equipment. At IRM we used to have one of those compressors running off of a trolley traction motor for air for the steam shop. Since IRM started as a traction museum 600 VDC was always present. I'm with you on the two new ones right away. Great video, thanks Dave!

thanks for another great video dave , at least you had a good day to change out them radiators and that was a beautiful sound when the locomotive started up !
Your welcome and yes it was a beautiful day David. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Yes and glad to get this done William. Next on this loco is to get a dynamic brake resister grid cable replaced, no big deal, I think they are waiting on a new cable to show up for it. Thanks so much my friend for checking out the show and may you have a very good day.
Your welcome and glad you are enjoying the home movies John. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you and your right, no leaks is what we wanted to see Alan! Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
The "PGIII" is actually PG"3" using roman numerals. It's "Packing Group 3", has to do with hazmat. It's a classification system to show the level of danger of the items being shipped. 1 being very dangerous, 3 low danger. So of you've gone through hazmat training, and know what all that means, it actually does say a lot. But gibberish to anyone who hasn't.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write in and share that information with us Trucks to Trains. You are right, I've never taken hazmat training. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Hazmat Ops member and truck driver. Aware of packing groups, but never paid them any mind per se, just the product itself. Buzzing glowing green goo and a box of "expedited neighbourhood relocaters" certainly catch my attention. Most things involving or referencing water systems are oxidisers and/or corrosive, by rule of thumb.
Great video Dave! I love seeing the workings of the locomotives! I agree about the two halves. While you have everything torn apart is the best time for some preventative maintenance!
Thank you Mojo and glad you enjoyed it. Your right, it's apart now put it back together right. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Always love getting up close with 3098. I'm very glad that the mechanics took your advise about leaving the top cover off until the system was full so they could check for leaks. Wow upper 30's in the morning!? That must be nice. Still waiting for it to cool off here in Dallas.
They even let it run for awhile Shane, but we'll see what happens when they haul coal in notch 8 for awhile won't we. Now it has a second problem, the dynamic brakes won't set up. sigh..... Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Nice work Dave, thanks for sharing the video of the radiator removal process. Got to say that the radiators are a lot smaller than I thought they would be. Quite compact. Guess they are four row exchangers.
I work in hazardous material transportation , the 8 is the hazard class. In this case 8 is a corrosive.....the III is the packing group identification. The EGR number is the page number where all of the hazard information for the product can be found in the Emergency Response Guide handbook.
Awesome Snafu! Thanks so much for sharing that info with us. It sure had me puzzled but now, thanks to you I know. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Interesting, Dave. I never knew the radiators were in a V shape like that. Always learn something new about railroading from your videos. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you and glad you found it interesting Alan. Most folks are surprised to find the V shape out. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.

Always a pleasure to have you visit with us Clark. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Dave great job as always, friend of mine gave me some EMD SD40-2 repair manuals from UP bailey yard. love seeing the mechanics' working hard keeping that old war horse going strong
Thank you for the nice comment Dark Knight. Boy would I love to have those manuals!!! We have none here for any of our locos. #1 loco we bought new and it came with manuals, but that was 1975 and those books are long gone.... sigh Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you for that Jami. How cool Uncle Joe was with Conrail. I bet he changed his share of radiators in his time there. You'll have to show him this video to see if we meet with his approval! Very much appreciate your taking the time to check out the video my friend and may you have a very good day.
I love this channel. I have never worked on the railroad. But I come from a family of railroad men. My grandfather worked for the MKT his brother worked for the Missouri Pacific railroad. And I had an uncle that worked for the Southern Pacific railroad. And I love railroad history!
Thank you for the nice comment Just Truth. How cool your relatives worked for those, they were some great railroads in their day. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

Thank you and glad you found it interesting Mike. Your right we love to see coal moving here. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Now is that Rad iant, or Ray diant Arkay? I've gotten yelled at several times already from folks who say I don't know how to pronounce radiator. Rad iator, they want Ray diator..... :-) So we better get our pronunciations right.... LOL Thank you for taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Presumbly the radiators that were designed for this engine had to be a certain area, so the radiators had to be in a V so the area could fit in. Looking on other railway videoes from the USA it might be worth putting on other diesels especially in the exhaust, when they are built from new, as it's not worth retrofitting, in general, but the cost a new diesel that has to meet the latest emissions regs around the world, a fire would cost a fortune so the cost of the extinguisher will pay for it's self. Thank for another good video.
@rearspeaker6364 I said I genral. I have worked checking products for hazardous areas for BSI, CSA, UL, and other counties tandards They may be obligatory or, like Daves, new company, they are more safety focused, which since they have taken over seem to be.
You may very well be right on that Anthony about the V, good point. All of our dozers and stuff like that here at the mine have fire suppression systems on them, I think it has to do with Fed requirements for a coal mine, but your right, it is a very good idea. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Your right Captain Keyboard, let's get America back in action....:-) Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
It should be noted there are several reasons locomotives don't use antifreeze. 1 reason is if there is a leak in the engine (and yes there are leaks in EMDs, they always leak) itself, antifreeze will mix with the oil and ruin the oil and cause the bearings to seize. Raw water will not mix with oil and will evaporate causing no damage to the engine. 2 reason is EPA and costs. Aside from destroying locomotive engines, leaks and other accidents can create environmental hazards and this can lead to fines being levelled against the railroad owners as well as destroying natural habitats for the little duckies.. As for the water freezing in the motor; Most locomotives run contiguously 24 hours a day. I don't know about Daves loco's though. When the locos are shut off, the water system is protected by an Ogontz valve under frame that stays warm as long as water is circulating, if engine stops for some reason the Ogontz valve cools off and dumps water if temp drops below 50 degrees. This valve protects the engine from freezing. The only additive in the water is a corrosion inhibitor (pink stuff) which is not harmful to the environment and acts as a rust inhibitor and also protects the delicate radiators from contaminants in the water. The pink sticks are a chromate compound. How many need to be used will depend on the manufacturer's recommendation. Further, locomotive engines cooling system is designed different from a passenger car and is not a closed system as found in passenger cars. Closed systems found in cars do need antifreeze to keep the water from boiling and turning to steam in the closed system. This is not an actual problem with locomotive cooling systems. The engines in these EMDs tend to run slightly cooler than passenger cars. And last, as Dave said, straight water cools better overall so it's more efficient. All these things keep the loco happy and a happy loco means Dave is happy.
About the only EMD locos that came from the factory with anti freeze were the SD 90MAC and the SD 70Ace, all others just use water. Yes our locos run almost continously during the winter, unless they happen to be in the heated shop. 3098 used to have a Smart Start system on it where it would automatically start if the water temp got below a certain point. Thank you so much for the detailed comment and the info you provided us with David. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
It sure did Bill, someone must have put some elbow grease into that puppy. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
That is some serious cooling capacity.. No lifting eyes.. make 'em. OK odd question. What's the attachment on the nose on #22s forward raining that kinda looks like an antenna mast?? Thanks for another peek inside rail operations..
We had a battery operated car Jon and that antenna sent the signal from loco to the car to tell the car when to throttle up and when to go into dynamic braking. The components of that car are currently being looked at to solve an over heating issue. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Really enjoyed this one Dave A lovely start up sound at the end too. I would of said change both rads. and fill them to check all is well too. You are a wise man job would of taken a lot longer if there had been a leak and they had not taken your advice.
Your right, it would have been a lot more work had they leaked, at least they ran the loco for awhile before I put the cooling fan cover back on. Thank you for taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 Yes, the other will end up springing a leak sooner or later costing more down time, why not just do it all at once. You have to change the fluid out when you replace one too?
Thank you for the nice comment and glad you are enjoying the home movies Heater1Blackbird1. Appreciate very much your taking the time to watch them my friend and may you have a very good day.
Another great video from my favorite real railroad guy. Hope you're having a great day railroading. I'm gonna have to start callin' you MOW Dave! I'm waiting for paint to dry on an old time HO model blacksmith car I'm building from a kit. It's got 4 truss rods. Just think if you were railroading in them old days how you'd bee working on truss rod cars and link pin couplers. Oh, and I looked up disodium trioxosilcate and it should be handled with gloves as it's kinda toxic. Cheers from eastern TN
Thank you for the nice comment Rusty. Your right, railroading sure has changed a lot in the last 100 years from the old car designs. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Very nice video, as usual. I sure am glad they put both radiators for that side in! Those fans are huge, but looking at the engine that needs the cooling, no real surprise there. Do the fans ever seize up? (No sir, NOT borrowing trouble!) Glad they took a listen to ya for the fill-up! Good day for the work, too. Thank you for the video!
I don't ever remember a fan going bad Trena, not so say they haven't but I just don't recall it. I know I've never put one in new before. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
We are trying our best to do that P Chris. We do have a problem getting barges in, lot of power plant stock piles are already filled up, but we load what we can when we have barges. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
I did not know that it was just water (with a corrosion inhibitor) in the cooling system :) That makes a cold start in extremely cold weather an interesting proposition :) I think the commercial railways do the same - no anti-freeze - which means some extra steps for winter cold starts I bet. I don't think many yards have covered buildings for parked locomotives, so this gives me new insight into railfanning in very cold weather.
Your right Brian, once these EMD engines get cold they are a bear to get started again. Not very many locos have antifreeze in them, the SD 70Ace and the SD 90MAC do, but not many others. Some locos have block heaters but none of ours do. Thank you Bryan and glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
I bet you are Michael. Had to turn the house furnace on last night and frost tomorrow morning. Only 100? That's an ice age for you isn't it :-) Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Ok ITS official "SUPER DAVE IS OʻNLY CALLED ON TRACK WORK"... SUPER JACK OF ALL TRADES"......WHEN SUPER DAVE IS WORKING ON SD -40....😊😅😮😢🎉🎉❤❤😂 ENJOYING THE SHOWS. "DAVE & JACK "!!!
Thank you for the kind words Bradford. No one else here can run the crane on that truck so I get to do all the lifting, which is good cause I'm careful not to hurt anyone else. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
They keep the locos running all the time during the winter. Some locos on other railroads have block heaters in them, but ours don't. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@13:00 Sodium trioxosilicate is only one part of the chemicals in the sticks, the others (not listed on the box or the data sheet) are probably are Sodium nitrate (forms a more durable black haematite coating on contact with iron), sodium tetraborate (its borax), and some others.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write in and share that information with us David. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Of course I got curious about the Disodium Trioxsilicate so I hade to check it up. First suprise... it's also known as "WaterGlas" which I heard is also used for treatment of concrete surfaces. But further googling and reading was indeed a wealth of knowledge. Sorry for the huge wall of text, but I found it all interesting: Sodium metasilicate is widely used in various types of washing industry. In the washing industry, such as super concentrated detergent, laundry detergent, laundry cream, dry cleaning agent, fiber bleach, fabric bleach, etc., also a large number of used for metal surface cleaning agent, beer bottle, aerosol detergent, after fully dissolved, it can be used as metal rust inhibitor, scale cleaning agent and electric device cleaning agent, and can be used as food industry detergent. It can also be used as mud consistency regulator and mud coagulant in crude oil and natural drilling and excavation engineering; in the construction industry, it is used as a coagulant for preparing acid-resistant mortar, acid-resistant commercial concrete and cement; In the paper industry, it can be used as an adhesive, an ink agent, and a paper surface treatment agent; in the textile industry as a printing and dyeing auxiliaries, fabric pre-treatment agent; Can also be used as soap filler, detergent, egg preservative, and vegetation molecular sieve, silicic acid and fire materials. Sodium metasilicate has lubricity, can be used for the production of ceramic body mud; With strong alkalinity, strong decontamination ability, large buffer capacity, can neutralize acidic dirt. Emulsification of fat and oil, has anti-flocculation effect on inorganic substances, has anti-corrosion effect on metals, so it is one of the main components of super concentrated detergent powder, and is also used in dishwashing detergent, food industry detergent, metal detergent and waste paper deinking. And by the way.. thanks for a nice tour of the locomotive.

Maybe that would be a good thing for me to get into when I retire David, pumpkin carving....:-) Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video my friend and may you have a very good day.
Your right about that Wayne, those engines put out some heat and need big cooling capacity. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Thank you for this video! Na₂SiO₃ - sodium silicate - for some reason called sodium meta silicate, but like sodium carbonate (washing soda) if the Si is replaced with a C. Carbon is just above silicon in the 14th group of the periodic table. Both are tetravalent and silicon has been proposed in both science fiction and science speculation as a substitute for carbon. That's railroadin'!
Thank you very much for taking the time to write in and share that information with us Robin. It was very tetravalent.... :-) Will have to look that word up. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
The "8" is Class 8 hazardous material corrosive, PGIII is packaging group 3 and ERG$154 is the Emergency Response Guide page 154 which details the characteristics of the substance and how to handle it in case of accident. This can be some serious stuff is not handled properly.

Seeing the 22 coming in reminds me how is the "motorize coal cars" working out for you guys? I forgot they were testing them then remember once I saw the pole on the head end. It's funny when I first got into Trains (20 plus years ago) the SD40 was still around and the easiest way I could tell a SD40 from say your SD38s was the three fans.
Battery operated rail car developed some over heating issues which is currently being studied as to the cause and solution by the maker Ryan. It is not currently in use. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Do they try any kinda stop leak/pepper internal stuff before replacement, looks like an epoxy was tried on the outside of the tubes? And will the mechanics attempt a repair to keep it handy for next time? Thanks Dave!. Also, liked the pic of the fans, close tolerance between the blades & shroud.
Your right it does look like that al ro. The afternoon mechanics may have tried something like that and I wasn't aware of it. The old cores get sent back to the seller of the new cores and presumably they will get rebuilt or refurbished whatever it is they do to old radiator cores. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
It's mostly coal duotronic6451. When they load the train it goes under a belt line and some coal spills off that belt. So when the cooling fans aren't running, the coal falls down onto the radiators. appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

The "PGIII" is actually PG"3" using roman numerals. It's "Packing Group 3", has to do with hazmat. It's a classification system to show the level of danger of the items being shipped. 1 being very dangerous, 3 low danger.
So of you've gone through hazmat training, and know what all that means, it actually does say a lot. But gibberish to anyone who hasn't.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write in and share that information with us Trucks to Trains. You are right, I've
never taken hazmat training. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Hazmat Ops member and truck driver. Aware of packing groups, but never paid them any mind per se, just the product itself. Buzzing glowing green goo and a box of "expedited neighbourhood relocaters" certainly catch my attention. Most things involving or referencing water systems are oxidisers and/or corrosive, by rule of thumb.
@jaysmith1408 yeah, with a description of good like that, you're pretty safe to assume it ain't something good lol
Great video Dave! I love seeing the workings of the locomotives! I agree about the two halves. While you have everything torn apart is the best time for some preventative maintenance!

to pronounce radiator. Rad iator, they want Ray diator..... :-)
So we better get our pronunciations right.... LOL Thank you for taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Presumbly the radiators that were designed for this engine had to be a certain area, so the radiators had to be in a V so the area could fit in.
Looking on other railway videoes from the USA it might be worth putting on other diesels especially in the exhaust, when they are built from new, as it's not worth retrofitting, in general, but the cost a new diesel that has to meet the latest emissions regs around the world, a fire would cost a fortune so the cost of the extinguisher will pay for it's self.
Thank for another good video.
and it's a coal mine.
@rearspeaker6364 I said I genral.
I have worked checking products for hazardous areas for BSI, CSA, UL, and other counties tandards
They may be obligatory or, like Daves, new company, they are more safety focused, which since they have taken over seem to be.
You may very well be right on that Anthony about the V, good
point. All of our dozers and stuff like that here at the mine
have fire suppression systems on them, I think it has to do
with Fed requirements for a coal mine, but your right, it is a

It should be noted there are several reasons locomotives don't use antifreeze. 1 reason is if there is a leak in the engine (and yes there are leaks in EMDs, they always leak) itself, antifreeze will mix with the oil and ruin the oil and cause the bearings to seize. Raw water will not mix with oil and will evaporate causing no damage to the engine.
2 reason is EPA and costs. Aside from destroying locomotive engines, leaks and other accidents can create environmental hazards and this can lead to fines being levelled against the railroad owners as well as destroying natural habitats for the little duckies..
As for the water freezing in the motor; Most locomotives run contiguously 24 hours a day. I don't know about Daves loco's though. When the locos are shut off, the water system is protected by an Ogontz valve under frame that stays warm as long as water is circulating, if engine stops for some reason the Ogontz valve cools off and dumps water if temp drops below 50 degrees. This valve protects the engine from freezing. The only additive in the water is a corrosion inhibitor (pink stuff) which is not harmful to the environment and acts as a rust inhibitor and also protects the delicate radiators from contaminants in the water. The pink sticks are a chromate compound. How many need to be used will depend on the manufacturer's recommendation.
Further, locomotive engines cooling system is designed different from a passenger car and is not a closed system as found in passenger cars. Closed systems found in cars do need antifreeze to keep the water from boiling and turning to steam in the closed system. This is not an actual problem with locomotive cooling systems. The engines in these EMDs tend to run slightly cooler than passenger cars.
And last, as Dave said, straight water cools better overall so it's more efficient. All these things keep the loco happy and a happy loco means Dave is happy.
About the only EMD locos that came from the factory with
anti freeze were the SD 90MAC and the SD 70Ace, all others
just use water. Yes our locos run almost continously during
the winter, unless they happen to be in the heated shop. 3098
used to have a Smart Start system on it where it would
automatically start if the water temp got below a certain point.
Thank you so much for the detailed comment and the info
you provided us with David. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.
Normal operating temperature for an EMD 645 is around 180 F.
That air compressor looks mighty clean. That chemical has hundreds of uses, one being a corrosion inhibitor.
It sure did Bill, someone must have put some elbow grease into
that puppy. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
That is some serious cooling capacity.. No lifting eyes.. make 'em.
OK odd question. What's the attachment on the nose on #22s forward raining that kinda looks like an antenna mast??
Thanks for another peek inside rail operations..
that is a good question!! what looks like a few weather station sensors, on a moving locomotive.......
@@rearspeaker6364 Howdy RS.. I'm the kind of guy that sees something I don't understand then I'll ask. 😁
We had a battery operated car Jon and that antenna sent the signal from loco to the car to tell the car when to throttle up and when to go into dynamic braking. The components of that car are currently being looked at to solve an over heating issue. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
@@ccrx6700 thank you for replying!
Really enjoyed this one Dave A lovely start up sound at the end too. I would of said change both rads. and fill them to check all is well too. You are a wise man job would of taken a lot longer if there had been a leak and they had not taken your advice.
Your right, it would have been a lot more work had they leaked, at least they ran the loco for awhile before I put the cooling fan
cover back on. Thank you for taking the time to watch and may you have a very good day my friend.

2 new halves would be best thing. New wine in old wineskin parable comes to mind.
Guess maybe I should start making RR parables Johnny! My
thoughts were if we have the new parts, put them in specially
with how old those locos are.
@@ccrx6700 Yes, the other will end up springing a leak sooner or later costing more down time, why not just do it all at once. You have to change the fluid out when you replace one too?

Another great video from my favorite real railroad guy. Hope you're having a great day railroading. I'm gonna have to start callin' you MOW Dave! I'm waiting for paint to dry on an old time HO model blacksmith car I'm building from a kit. It's got 4 truss rods. Just think if you were railroading in them old days how you'd bee working on truss rod cars and link pin couplers. Oh, and I looked up disodium trioxosilcate and it should be handled with gloves as it's kinda toxic. Cheers from eastern TN

Very nice video, as usual. I sure am glad they put both radiators for that side in! Those fans are huge, but looking at the engine that needs the cooling, no real surprise there. Do the fans ever seize up? (No sir, NOT borrowing trouble!) Glad they took a listen to ya for the fill-up! Good day for the work, too. Thank you for the video!

I did not know that it was just water (with a corrosion inhibitor) in the cooling system :) That makes a cold start in extremely cold weather an interesting proposition :) I think the commercial railways do the same - no anti-freeze - which means some extra steps for winter cold starts I bet. I don't think many yards have covered buildings for parked locomotives, so this gives me new insight into railfanning in very cold weather.
Your right Brian, once these EMD engines get cold they are
a bear to get started again. Not very many locos have antifreeze
in them, the SD 70Ace and the SD 90MAC do, but not many
others. Some locos have block heaters but none of ours do. Thank you Bryan and glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.

@13:00 Sodium trioxosilicate is only one part of the chemicals in the sticks, the others (not listed on the box or the data sheet) are probably are Sodium nitrate (forms a more durable black haematite coating on contact with iron), sodium tetraborate (its borax), and some others.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write in and share that information with us David. We do appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
Of course I got curious about the Disodium Trioxsilicate so I hade to check it up. First suprise... it's also known as "WaterGlas" which I heard is also used for treatment of concrete surfaces. But further googling and reading was indeed a wealth of knowledge.
Sorry for the huge wall of text, but I found it all interesting:
Sodium metasilicate is widely used in various types of washing industry. In the washing industry, such as super concentrated detergent, laundry detergent, laundry cream, dry cleaning agent, fiber bleach, fabric bleach, etc., also a large number of used for metal surface cleaning agent, beer bottle, aerosol detergent, after fully dissolved, it can be used as metal rust inhibitor, scale cleaning agent and electric device cleaning agent, and can be used as food industry detergent. It can also be used as mud consistency regulator and mud coagulant in crude oil and natural drilling and excavation engineering; in the construction industry, it is used as a coagulant for preparing acid-resistant mortar, acid-resistant commercial concrete and cement; In the paper industry, it can be used as an adhesive, an ink agent, and a paper surface treatment agent; in the textile industry as a printing and dyeing auxiliaries, fabric pre-treatment agent; Can also be used as soap filler, detergent, egg preservative, and vegetation molecular sieve, silicic acid and fire materials. Sodium metasilicate has lubricity, can be used for the production of ceramic body mud; With strong alkalinity, strong decontamination ability, large buffer capacity, can neutralize acidic dirt. Emulsification of fat and oil, has anti-flocculation effect on inorganic substances, has anti-corrosion effect on metals, so it is one of the main components of super concentrated detergent powder, and is also used in dishwashing detergent, food industry detergent, metal detergent and waste paper deinking.

How that storm affect you guys?
We got a bit of rain but nothing at all like they got down
south Johnny. We lucked out on that one.
Seeing the 22 coming in reminds me how is the "motorize coal cars" working out for you guys? I forgot they were testing them then remember once I saw the pole on the head end. It's funny when I first got into Trains (20 plus years ago) the SD40 was still around and the easiest way I could tell a SD40 from say your SD38s was the three fans.
Battery operated rail car developed some over heating issues
which is currently being studied as to the cause and solution
by the maker Ryan. It is not currently in use. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very

Do they try any kinda stop leak/pepper internal stuff before replacement, looks like an epoxy was tried on the outside of the tubes? And will the mechanics attempt a repair to keep it handy for next time? Thanks Dave!. Also, liked the pic of the fans, close tolerance between the blades & shroud.
Your right it does look like that al ro. The afternoon mechanics
may have tried something like that and I wasn't aware of it.
The old cores get sent back to the seller of the new cores and
presumably they will get rebuilt or refurbished whatever it is
they do to old radiator cores. Really appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
What is the debris at the bottom of the radiator V? Is that just leaves or is there coal in there too?
It's mostly coal duotronic6451. When they load the train it goes
under a belt line and some coal spills off that belt. So when
the cooling fans aren't running, the coal falls down onto the
radiators. appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
