Lake Delhi Dam break July 24, 2010
zhlédnutí 16KPřed dnem
I filmed this after a night of heavy rains in the Monticello Delhi, IA area on July 24, 2010. This was filmed from my In-laws cabin as the Lake Delhi Damn was breached. Minutes before the dam broke and after the dam broke, debris was floating by from boats to docks and propane tanks. Truly sad and it took years for the lake to return but it did.

    That last train shot in June of 93 was a little bit surreal to me, mainly because I know exactly where it was shot, because I grew up in that town. Your footage of CNW in Clinton and in this general area is a huge help to me, as I'm trying to model the Northwestern in the mid 1980s right through this exact area.

    Very nice! How many SD40Ns are operating at North Platte at the same time? Also, those locomotives coupled to each SD40N are SD38s? And why do they have flat roofs, i.e. no cooling fans?

    • @jefftoft5568
      @jefftoft5568 Před 4 dny

      Those are slugs getting power from the SD40, former SD40 with no engine. They don’t need cooling fans, strictly using the traction motors. The slug with no cab is an SD38 I was told. My guess for SD40N s at North Platte is probably 10 to 12.

  • @beeble2003
    @beeble2003 Před 5 dny

    BTW, since it's not mentioned in the video description, the slug sets are the pairs of SD40-2s. The locomotives with the 300-series numbers are the mothers (e.g., UPY 361, near the start of the video), and the 400-series locomotives are the slugs (e.g., UPY 461). At first glance, there's not much visual difference between these slugs and regular locomotives but, at a second look, you see that there are no fans on the roof and the dynamic brakes have been removed. They still have fully functioning cabs, so the pair can be easily driven in either direction. There's also a more traditional slug at 9:06 -- UPY3006, converted from a CNW SD38-2 but with completely new cut-down bodywork. The point of slugs in general is that power = force x speed. There's only so much force you can put through six axles before the wheels start to slip so, at any given speed, there's a maximum power you can apply before the wheels slip. At the low speeds used in switching, that maximum power is a lot less than the 3,000hp available from an SD40-2. Adding a slug doubles the number of axles, so doubles the amount of force that can be applied, and lets you use more of the available power. The down-side is that the maximum speed of the slug set is much lower than a pair of SD40-2s, but that's irrelevant for switching.

    • @jefftoft5568
      @jefftoft5568 Před 5 dny

      Thanks for the info, I know most of that except for the cut down slug. A lot of times people don’t even read the description they just watch the video. So I try not to get too carried away in the description. I figure most fans know an SD40. But the info is appreciated just don’t know how many would take the time to read it in our quick scroll world these days. Thanks for watching.
