Steam Locomotive Wheel Slip - NKP 765 | #Shorts

The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society uses the old wheel slip test method to observe NKP 765's running gear in motion, ensuring safe operation on the mainline.

Steam train: hm I wonder what I'll do today?
Engineer's: B U R N O U T

Old fashion burnout...nice...rolling steam 🤟

[nairzD]

I never thought I'd see a locomotive do a burnout

[albertsalas]

The shear strength and torque these amazing machines produced is astonishing.

I thought this was a new lubricant test from Project Farm.

The polar express train conductor been real quiet since this dropped

The 'slip' allows mechanical engineers to check the motion action. It's done by coating the rails with grease. In the steam era some railway/railroad companies had special rolling roads, the French had one as did British Railways. These test beds were capable of of also testing a locomotive traction output versus coal consumption.

Steam engines are a freaking marvel. Back when CAD and precision tools didn't exist like they do today in every home and industry.

Were just gonna tell our wives this burnout is for maintance.

BillyBob from West Virginia convinces you to do a burnout in the company work vehicle, colorized 1899 LMAO

I love steam locomotives diesel locomotives are okay but there's nothing like an old-fashioned steam locomotive coming down that track ☺️

[bcbdjane]

idk why but i love the side rods on the wheels of steam engines

“Do a burnout!!”

Machinist: say no more!

[GetDougDimmadomed]

Gorgeous old machines. The industrial age really did bring us works of art.

За такие трогания с места, машиниста очень серьёзно наказывали с отстранением от работы, потому, что это ведёт к пропилам рельс и забросу воды в трубки пароперегревателя, вследствии чего, был нужен капитальный ремонт паровоза из-за прогара этих трубок....

[svience]

God the sounds are INCREDIBLE. The banging, grinding, hissing, and clunking sounds so viscerally industrial.

I am always thinking about how clever and brilliant the idea/invention of the steam locomotive is. Truly interesting.

, ,Scott! How much pressure should i give her?"
, ,YES!"

[mauromilanovic]

The sounds in this video gave me chills, big machines and mechanical moving parts like this are absolute heaven
