Author: "wollffee" <wolfee@onebox.com>

Yes, thanks, one more thing. Air compressors. It seems to me they would consume a lot of horsepower making compressed air whether it was needed or not. Do they have a clutch, or something, that disen

Thanks. I think I am now a fully qualified engineer. Actually, I did get to ride in an F40PH cab once. From Lake Louise to Banff (somewhere around there) on The Canadian. I was kind of amazed at how

Jon, The Q didn't have any. My original question technically isn't a Q question. I asked it here because there are so many loco geniuses. er, let's make that geniuses at locos. I suppose one could sa

I see that the amount of horsepower developed from the 567 motor, near the end of production, jumped a lot when they started to turbocharge them. Were the locomotives equipped with turbos reliable? D

Bill, thanks. I would be interested to know the changes that occurred when the 567 went from "B" configuration to "C". Were these just minor details? Did all the 567's get upgraded to whatever the cu
