    That UP diesel is called the SD40-2 which was one of the most successful diesels but today the GE ES44 is by far the most successful American diesel of all time.

    The 772 is a Lima Locomotive Works ‘Berkshire’ 2-8-4 type locomotive, probably built in 1945. The engine declared to be the Polar Express’s real life counterpart is Pere Marquette 1225, even though it’s the same locomotive type.

    @MrAlex-ej8ov 7 років тому +9

    The beeping is to warn you you are speeding, it is a seventy feature.and yes, it is sad, Amtrak doesn't want their trains speeding so they put in an abs. Union Pacific is a railroad and the big boy was not the first to go over 100 mph. The big boy is the biggest locomotive ever built. The first American steam loco to surpass 100 mph was in the early EARLY 1900s the big boy was built in 1940s and streamlines already surpassed 100 daily...

    • @eoinpkav152

  • @AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014
    @AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan4014 7 років тому +2

    I think what happened with the Big Boy was that a few seconds before derailing, the front set of drivers started hovering and the hinge pin that separates the two sets of drivers caused the front set to swing to the left and derail the Big Boy which is why the Big Boy was too long.

    The Big Boy is actually an articulated locomotive, so it's no surprise that the boiler would begin to come off the front wheel base.

  • @038alpha
    @038alpha 7 років тому +4

    i got a suggestion for ya, try to put the inversor (is it how we call it) to neutral position when going to arround 100 mph, because like it is on a car, if the gearbox is engaged, the car can t go faster than the engine, and in a slope like this, the engine could actually slow the train, so i suggest putting the inversor on neutral to let gravtity do its job

  • @Trainboy1685

    That beeping is the over speed controller. Here it's set to 100 MPH, but in real life it's set to 79 MPH. If the train goes over the maximum allowed speed, the alarm sounds, and the driver must acknowledge by setting the brakes to Suppression and hit the alerted reset button. Otherwise, the computer takes over, putting the brakes on and bringing the train to a screeching halt.

    11:10 this is a phenomenon called rolling oscillation and it happens at high speeds due to the shape of the wheels of the train, the reason bullet trains dont do it is because their wheels are farther apart and are almost complete cylinders rather than the slight cone shape of most train wheels

    LaZeR JET! You were right about the pacific diesel engine is ours, but the brothers and sisters of that type is what pulls our freight.
    You wanted Big Boy to go faster, but you removed the throttle and power to do that, so he failed the speed test because you have no understandings on how a steam engine works.
    That "Pollar Express - 772" Train Requires a redo on testing and that Engine is referring to the "Nickel Plate 765" ((Nickel Plate Road no. 765 is a 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type steam locomotive built for the Nickel Plate Road in 1944 by the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. Classified as a "S-2" class Berkshire, the locomotive operated fast, heavy freight and passenger trains until retirement in 1958.))
    BTW Daylight would go faster if you were using the throttle and power at max, it works the same way as you use them on the diesel and electric.

    The big boy locomotives had 6000 hp, so I'm not surprised it took off like that. Plus, it has 16 driving wheels

    The beeping noise on the amtrak is a alarm that is on a yellow button in the cab. Comes from 30 sec to 1 min

    Amtrak: P42 UP: Gp40
    Big boy's Boiler: Attached at front (kinda) that's why it looked like it was coming off, cuz its only attached at the back of the bogie for the front wheels to connect to the boiler.

    If you want compare fast steam engine the UP 844 is one of the fastest. Deigned to to travel 120 mph. At one point in it's history it was clocked at 140 mph. It runs today at betters than 80 mph.

    In the question you made why diesel locomotives don't derail and steam derail is because diesel and eletric trains have a magnet inside of the wheels to keep the stabilized on the track.
    At least in european trains.
