I enjoyed both 1 & 2 parts immensely. Very informative. Keep the old girls going as long as possible. Thanks for explaining everything. I have learned so much.
Love this video. I used to see, love, and even get cab rides in the 4068 when she was working the Lamoille Valley Railroad in Vermont . She is the only one of the five LVRC RS 3s that was not scrapped. I would love to hear about her overhaul and how she is running today.
Im going to double down on "Old scchool"., Things worked When you have a threesome of EMD Series running point on power and at a mid train keeping the train tight and not beating the knuckels from taking a beating All is left is to roll off this power and let the air on the main resivior build to90 psi and ready to roll out!
I retired 1-4-2011 after 36 years in engine service. I ran #86 Richmond, VA to Wash. D.C. and #95 back with one of those techno turds from GE. All that tech crap, 4,200 hp to move 7 Amcans at 70mph, what a waste of money. An RS3, or RS11 could have done the same job without breaking a sweat.
The most informative and enjoyable shop tour I ever witnessed. Wish I had been there.
This guy this railroad is a National Treasure.

Some things should be left "Old School" They were simple and worked
You can say that about a lot of things in this sterile, computerized world.

Any of those RS3's have dynamic brakes?
So let's recap... old school is the only school...
