That's one thing I miss about Cali. The trains. BART, Cal-train, and yes, even the MUNI. Seattle dont have 'em.
We got the best damn bus system, tho... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Finally, something I know a little bit about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
Let's see, it seats 3 - in marginal comfort. Rated at 4135 RWHp @ about 900rpm! 16 cylinders, each about 710 cu.in. (Sorry, don't know what that converts into in terms of liters or cc's!) 3 separate braking systems, one of which is capable of drawing as much as 1600 amps. Brake pads? We got 'em - about an inch and a half thick, about 1 foot long, 8 to 12 per vehicle. Factory heating and a/c Gear ratio - 83:20 Automatic "transmission" Fuel tank capacity - 4,000 to 5,000 gallons Dry weight - 416, 000 lbs I'm a locomotive engineer for the company pictured above. Just got home from a trip this morning. |

Greg....
Isn't it really electric driven with the Diesel motors only suppling the juice for the electric motors??? Oh, the engine converts to 186 Liters (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Ever make it to the Train Museum in Sacramento?? Here is a cool site for CAD drawings of Locomotives: Locomotive CAD Drawings |

Mike, that's right. Each of the axles has a traction motor on it. A single generator, driven by the diesel, produces the power for all of the traction motors. I think its a 600 volt system. We also have an auxiliary generator which produces 74 volts for the lights and the rest of the on-board electrical stuff.
Year before last, my wife (who is a retired engineer) and I were out visiting my parents, who still live in the Bay Area (San Lorenzo, where I grew up). On the way back here to New Mexico we stopped at the museum in Sacramento. It's just unbelievable, the amount of equipment they have there, and the first class way in which it is maintained and displayed. Much of the Santa Fe stuff they have sat here in the Albuquerque roundhouse for many years before being donated to the museum. Neat! |
