    ▶︎ A little story about me: I am a retired shop teacher, I spent 36 years teaching Graphic Arts, Vocational Printing Trades, Photography along with extra duties like Drivers Education, & Yearbook Advisor.
    I started teaching shop in the fall of 1974. We had seven full time shop teachers. (Industrial Education)
    Auto Shop
    Construction • Built A House
    Drafting, Mechanical & Architectural
    Graphic Arts
    Small Engines • Marine & Lawn
    Metal Shop
    Wood Shop
    In the late 90’s Industrial Education had to deal with new state guidelines called: Core Curriculum. This put a strong emphasis on the college prep program for all Michigan Students. Needless to say the students had no room in the school day for elective classes and this put Industrial Education out of business
    I also took shop classes in High School. Mr. Pasternak and Mr. Mathers were my high school shop teachers and they got me started at Central Michigan University to become a Michigan Shop Teacher.
    I would not want to be a high school student today. No shop classes.

    Hi Gary, Good catch. I like the paint scheme of the engines. I can't help you why the wheels are sparking. Lert's, hope they know and will correct the problem.

    Looks like some major wheel spin! No traction on wet rails. Good catch Gary.

    Great vid Gary..
    What the problem is : The track cleaning wagon has passed through this line with a ton of Goo Gone recently and the fully loaded grain train has come up the line with not enough time for the Goo Gone to dry,
    This happens to my trains now and again...🤣

    Hey Gary, it looks like the middle engine's wheels are spinning much faster than the other 2 engines and that is causing the sparks, but it's hard to be sure. Take care and stay warm as the weather gets colder. Stay inside and play trains. Best regards, Joe.

    That was the HESR 810 job from Vassar Michigan. They had trouble getting around the curve in Durand. They had 90 grain cars with 3 engines. They almost didn’t make it through Flushing with the train.
    By the way, nice video.

    Is it possible that the sparking wheels on that locomotive are spinning faster than they should? Friction!

    Wheel slip, wearing out the wheels and the track. Wet track? Overloaded locomotive. Too heavy train? Sync problem? Hard to say without knowing more of the situation.
