Beat this Burnout Pic!

[69a100]

This is one burnout I would have loved to have seen. I bet it sounded awsome as hell too! Try and beat this?

I would think that something more durable than GoodYears did that!

Any story with the picture "69" ???

That's what happens when a train stops but one of the units keeps turning it's wheels. I think this was from CP Rail. They use a lot of radio controlled distributed power on their trains. Here's another shot of the same event.

That had to be expensive! Any pictures of the locomotive wheel sets? I'm sure the taper was shot if not the entire wheel set.

I've never seen the locomotive, perhaps 69a100 knows? At any rate I doubt the wheels were salvageable with all that overheating. The axles and gears would probably be okay, and bearings are automatically changed out when new wheels are pressed on. I don't know the cost, but here's a set of used ones:http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-SETS-38-ALCO-Locomotive-Wheels-Axles-/330280913162
Plus, the cost of labour to change the wheels - these are encased in a sealed traction motor casing and the whole motor and wheelset are dropped as a unit which has a lot of electrical wiring attached, and also the cost of the locomotive being out of service. It would likely have been pulled anyway to find the reason for the wheels turning unintentionally. The motor controlers include anti-slip traction controls that are supposed to prevent that sort of thing. The biggest cost to the railroad, if this was a main line, would have been the loss of use of the track for a few hours or so while the rails were replaced.

Six wheel burnout. Cool!

Me neither, would be neat just to see how jacked the wheels really are after something like this, I wonder how much time lapsed before they got the wheels stopped to do this? I am sure the wheels were extremely trashed.

that is proof of some torque id love to have!
