That's not wheelslip - it's a Loram rail grinder. lol

[HimboJimbo]

The sound of the diesel engine revving up is unbelievable!

[Crawlerjamie]

Speedometer-150 mph

Actual speed - 5 mph

Train conductor - “this is fine”

Man, that is really extreme.  Now one can imagine what those traction motors can do!!!!  That's some serious power.   Thank you for

[gilgammesh]

The power in these machines is fascinating to me for some reason.

[Velezo]

Now THAT is what I call horsepower!!!!, that wheel spin was wicked man...

Great scene ! I witnessed almost the same with an old Indian ALCO here .

EMD:Let's go, Let's go, Let's go! GE:I'm Trying, I'm Trying!!!

Listen to those massive turbos. Sounds akin to a jet engine. Awesome.

The winner of fuckit not mine goes to that engineer

[Xanthopteryx]

Several trains in Sweden actually have traction control, and ABS. I think that is a pretty cool technology.

During the late 1970’s while living in Lethbridge Alberta I saw this. Never forgot it. Great shot. Keep ‘em coming.

I can only ever feel wheel slip when I'm on the unit. Never seen it before. Great video

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this video but I still appreciate that CSX 8666 still exists

My experience with wheelslip is that they start to hop, which can shear the pinion gear off the motor shaft. I've never heard of a nice, smooth like in this film. Very interesting. I'm sure that all the Dash 9s have automatic traction control as it adds considerably (like 20%) to the available tractive effort. I once was on a road switcher job that had two GP-40 locomotives. On our way back to the yard, we managed to gather up nearly two miles of cars, totaling around 11, 000 tons. We didn't have too far to go, and evidently the dispatcher didn't mind that we were taking awhile lol. Engineer was doing pretty well at immediately backing off one notch whenever we felt wheel slip. Of course the sanders were on the whole time. Traction motors were running in the non-continuous current range. :)

That was cool. You can really tell which locomotive has the more modern wheel slip technology.

I have loved trains since I was little and this thing sounds like music to my ears.
This train i believe is a GE Dash 9-44CW which weighs 425, 000 pounds and has a power output of 4, 400 HP.
Hearing that engine roar is really fun to me; and today as an adult the modern diesel locomotive still blows my mind in terms of sheer power and strength.
The M1 Abrams Tank weighs 110, 000 pounds; this model of train is almost four M1 tanks, absolutely amazing engineering.
