When I worked at the Soo roundhouse in St. Paul, MN, one of our SD40-2 locos came back from Kentucky not running and the batts were dead. After charging them up and being a cold day, one of our diesel mechanics opened the crank case hatches and set a starting fluid aerosol can spraying into each access hatch and we cranked it over. It did start, but not before having a crank case explosion which blew the mechanic over the hand railing causing him to flip backwards and landed on his feet. Amazingly, he was OK.

At IRM we have a Baldwin centercab road unit, #21 or the "Blue Dragon". It has two inline 6 prime movers but only one has a starter motor. You start the #1 prime mover and when the generator loads up you throw a switch to send juice to the generator on #2 and use it as a starter motor to get #2 running. Maybe that's one of the reasons Baldwin couldn't make as a diesel builder. 21 was built in 1948. Keep the electric car fuel flowing. Great how to video, enjoyed it greatly. Thanks Dave!

If you wanted to see overkill, you should look in one of the generator cars for the Mobile RADAR Bomb Scoring trains. Two gensets each with: electric driven hydraulic pumps for building hydraulic pressure for the hydraulic starter motors ( 3000 psi ). An engine driven pump for when it is running. A wobble pump for when all else has failed. 6 reservoirs per unit for storing the pressure instead of the normal 3. Ether assist. Engine heaters. Heated water, fuel, new and used oil tanks. All fuel, oil, and water lines insulated and heating tape on them. Pumps to circulate the warm fluids. Radiators that could be used for heating the car. Load box for the gensets that could be used for heating the car. An under the car heating unit that could heat the car. And if you were parked in a good location, a mast on top of the car for cables to hook up to commercial power so that the gensets did not have to run. The gensets, Detroit Diesel 16V71s driving 150KW Delco alternators.

So they called the RAC (Think AAA in the US), for a jump start.

As for Gas Turbines, they are spun up using a motor on the prop shaft, then, when fast enough, gas is fed in and fired to keep running. Steam Turbines would be supplied from a boiler. If the engines break down and require parts that are not available, then you are talking Ocean Going Salvage Tugs. VERY expensive. It happens. And insurance companies cry :-).

My dad had a story about doing a jumpstart on a locomotive. He was a heavy truck mechanic and asked to check out a loco at a local siding. One of the batteries had an open cell so he decided to bypass it, 64V system won't miss a single cell. Unlike your jumpstart where the load through the cables was charging current for the battery, in his case the load through the cables was the entire cranking energy of the engine. The jumper cables apparently lifted themselves off the ground when the starter rolled over, but it started.

I always love seeing up close videos of the motive power on your line, Dave. Do you guys not run any type of coolant or antifreeze in those things or did that get added in after the fact? Always love hearing old 3098 notch up and rumble like those big turbo prime movers do. Interesting that they're keeping 1 and 22 on the train after the fact. Does 3098 not have the remote control hardware installed or do they keep both SD38-2's on the train so that they have parity in power and characteristics on both ends?

@@richardhiskett5422 Or if you have them, plug in the heaters. As our S-2 was a former Army loco, it had two in the crankcase. But of course, on the day we were planing to run the steam engine, it was not parked where it could be plugged in. And it doesn't get cold in S. FL. Ha ha ha. It did that night. So with no heat on it, it was a cold start done the hard way. Open 3 of the test cocks and turn off the matching injector pumps. Then hope that it fires. On the second try, it did. So then it was close the test ports and turn the injection pumps back on and wait for it to warm up. The smoke from the engine barely could make it out the exhaust before it fell on the hood, onto the running board, and then on to the ground. Took over an hour to get it to 140° which had to be reached before the main generator could be excited as there is a temp switch to prevent too cold an operation. Still made the first run on time. Modern locos do have auto start features or automatic heating units installed so that the engines can be shut down in cold weather.

Dave, If I lived much closer, I would jump at a call. I live in Michigan between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. Reality is unless you have a way to get Scotty on the Enterprise to beam me over, I doubt it will happen! I would very much enjoy running a loco on your line. I did have a ultra short run once pulling cars off of a CSX train on their main once. It was to pull cars off of their train so they could pick them up on their trip back. This saved them time having to run around their train later to come back. For this my conductor handed me off to the CSX Conductor for the move. This was a curtesy operation to help them since we were at interchange when their local was there. That was my only few feet on welded rail. The KLS&C was all stick rail. 85 was an ex Santa Fe GP-7R 2110. For me she was always a sweet dependable loco.

Early in my career I was a construction inspector. On one job, the superintendent told this story from early in his career. He was the first person on the site each day, arriving in a small pickup truck. In winter, he would use the small pickup to jump start the big pickup; then the big pickup to jump start the small dump truck; then the small dump to start the big dump truck; then the big dump to jump start the small loader; and, finally, the small loader to jump start the big loader. By then the crew was on site and ready to start work. Thought you might like this story.

To get going the road foreman of locomotives, who was with us, got a local welder out of bed. The welder drug his portable welding machine to the site, the foreman connected the leads inside the control panel, started the engine on the welder, and fired up the loco and we left on time.

We had a loss of water alarm on our CF7. It had been losing water on and off all summer. Maintenance guy was working on the generator brushes and we mentioned the problem. He opened the rocker arm cover and bingo, we found the water. Not sure what caused it. This is at a small Railway Museum so we are down to 1 working engine for excursions.

At least we found out the low water shutdown works on 22 Robert, that sure is a good feeling to know, much better than it not working and have some major engine repairs because of it. Small water leaks can cause some real problems at times. Very much appreciate your taking the time to check out the video on how to jump start a locomotive my friend.
