Absolutely awesome! I had an EMD grid blow on me once in load test. It was a beautiful summer night with a 20' volcano going out the grid hatch. Frightened the living piss out of me..
@@drummerboy4as we had an external load box. It's about the size of large phone booth and it's all grids. We used it for testing really old GPs that didn't have self load.. one night (graveyard shift) we overloaded it.. lmfao, next morning the managers came in to just a smoldering pile of metal... I still laugh thinking about it.
This blower is essentially a really big fan. It’s purpose is to blow fresh air over the traction motors (the electric wheel that drive the locomotive) to keep them cool and to keep dirt and dust out.

What is a blower and what is its purpose?

Fuck. I'd have run away faster than Usain Bolt.
Just sign it off
Why does that ALWAYS happen?
Because it's a GE. They're best known for their toasters.
oH, it's just fine...close the door and get on with your business.
