Awesome. I'm still like a kid when it comes to the giant equipment. Still like watching the trains go by....especially the engines. Cool picture...would be fun to operate.
Hybrid, yes. Diesel engines that generate current for electric motors, almost instant torque. Know very little about them but each time I see them go by ( lots of train activity where I live ) I want to climb up in that engine...drive it. The power...pulling a 100 or more cars at 35 mph....damn neat! Like I said, I'm just a kid at heart dont imagine I'll ever grow up.I spent a shift w/my older brother at the Boston yard where he was an engineer, he retired as the senior engineer, & he & his wife moved to-Milwaukee! So I can get good beer & German food & visit the H-D Museum when I go to visit them.
The sound of an engine powering-up still sends chills down my spine. After all, the modern engines are a great ex. of a hybrid vehicle! Did you know there is a little lever you have to insert into a receptacle on the control panel to make an engine go into reverse?
