You'd be surprised what even a little dude like that can haul on level track with modern freight cars having roller bearings equipped on them, the low friction between a wheel and the rail, the very small drivers providing high torque in sacrifice of speed, and most of the locos weight being centered on the driving wheels giving it plenty of adhesion to pull that car. The empty car probably weighs around the neighborhood of 50 tons. Probably didn't even break a sweat.

@SynchroScore
3 ай бұрын
@@paulsmith5398 I'm a member of the Steam Department, although I haven't checked in on everything in a while. The stoker engine is currently removed and disassembled. It would certainly be a hoot, but there are two problems. First, 1630 was originally built for export to Imperial Russia, where the track gauge is 5'. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the new Communist government withdrew from the Great War, and declared they wouldn't pay the old government's debts. The "Russian decapods" as they became known were converted to standard gauge by fitting extra-wide tires on the driving wheels, which would interfere with self-guarding frogs and certain other special bits of trackwork. Of course, the main problem with doing that is the track is owned by Union Pacific, and even if it is essentially a really long industrial lead that features at most a couple trains a day, they're likely to be a giant PITA about anybody else using the trackage, especially another steamer.

Traditionally, when a steamer is about to move, they ring the bell and then whistle what direction they are going to move in. Most of the footage is also near a road crossing, and they ring the bell through those as well. All for safety reasons.its the equivalent to a modern truck's backup beeper. It's good practice whenever there are people around, makes it hard to ignore
@o484
3 ай бұрын
Bells are rung when approaching a grade crossing, approaching and moving through a station, just before you start moving, passing another train on a siding, going through an area with track workers present, and moving in a yard where people might be present on the ground. Basically anytime you need to warn people of your presence, but using the whistle/horn would be impractical or overkill for the situation. And yes, some crews do find it annoying, but for the most part, it's just a part of railroading in the US (and Canada and a good portion of Latin America).
