Around this time, last year. The worst parts got like 6ft overnight. It resulted in a hilarious chain of send one machine/loco to help another only for it to get stuck. gently caress snow.

100# rail, jointed every 39', no tie plates, empty cribs. I realize it's yard track in the picture, but I still don't understand how they got away running the speeds they did on the track they had at the time.

I wonder if easy availability of cheap manual labor had something to do with it. So poo poo broke a lot, but they had the manpower to deal with it.

Okay I know it is odd doing a picture request in here but thought I would give it a try after my harddrive crapped out on me. I had a picture of an old steam engine, facing head on coming towards the viewer, surrounded by trees/forest. It was great for a vertical monitor because it showed the full head of steam/smoke and was taller than it was wide. I thought I had gotten it from this thread and I am working my way through it now. Just wondering if anyone might have it saved out there.

Nope, that's EMD's new cryptolocomotive, designed to look just like a gondola car. It comes pre-graffitied so scumbags ignore it and tag other stuff.

I'll bet you drat near anything that it was that picture of Western Maryland Scenic Railway #734 that shows up in nearly every mobile wallpaper dump. Unfortunately, I don't have it handy.

BBC website has an article on the Pacer, even some video.quote:There exists a Pacer Preservation Society that campaigns for units to be maintained on heritage railways. The BBC made multiple efforts to contact the society to no avail. Some things are just too shameful to admit to.

Have any other local melbourne goons seen the new university ads plastered along the interiors of some trains? Have they not seen Community? I can't remember which university it was for sadly, otherwise I'd share a picture because it is loving magical. Connex.txt right here

That's pretty much standard practice at steel mills even today. Youtube has a ton of videos.

More like China being one of the last countries still using steam locomotives other than as a novelty. From the article below, they were still building new ones as late as 2002. http://www.aljazeera.com/blogs/asia/2015/04/china-steam-trains-approaching-final-destination-150404092530882.html

Some source claimed that particular mill stopped using them in 2008. Either way, here's a pretty cool video from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i62-0YZw6dM

I can't believe they were/still are using steam engines. No wonder pollution is so bad over there. Also, if that video about fire stoking a few pages ago was correct, that fireman sucks.

They have lots of coal, not much oil, and cheap labour, which makes steam very economical compared to the alternatives. Even now the emphasis is on electrification rather than dieselisation because an electric locomotive in a country like China is basically a steam turbine engine with a very elaborate transmission.
