And one of our young Canadian friends is about to land too. He has made a pit stop here at my house on his way to landing on his profile page.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Da Mitchell has landed. Some know him as Sask_Tinplater.

Alex, your turn.

....On the main line of the Pennsy that I am referring to as for heating the passenger cars....Yes, I am fully aware trains were pulled by steam...[K4's in this case], but heading east when one arrived at Harrisburg...the power was switched to a GG1...Electric for the trip all the way into NY Penn Station. Now I am sure steam was doing the job before it arrived at Harrisburg so I imagine it still had to be heated by steam from that point on so hence, a steam generator required in the GG1 to do the job....

Well we have old cars back from the 50's still in use.. they used to be PULLED by steam!! What heated the cars back then, i am unsure of, but what heats them now is an element, (not fan forced) along the side of the wall where the seats are.. now this is age old because the heater has 2 settings.. OFF and ON. supposedly they have a built in Thermostat, but some cars heat up to 120 130 degrees without turning off, so they have to be manually shut off, however i will look into weather cars where at one point heated with steam.

....Kevin, you're the railroad man and I am not. But tell me, as I mentioned in a post above of an Electric engine pulling a passenger train of some time ago.....What is heating the passenger cars...Wasn't it steam....

...Reference to Electric engines in above posts reminds me of an occasion many, many years ago traveling east on the Pennsylvania....and until we arrived in Harrisburg we were being motivated by steam, most likely K4's...and when we pulled out of Harrisburg to continue the journey east we of course then were being pulled by a GG1. To this day, and I really mean many years ago....I can remember the surge the electric engine gave us starting out from that stop and how it accelerated us was really noticable...It seemed to not quit pulling, just kinda pushed one back in the seat and then really put us through the flat eastern Pennsylvania countryside once it reached it's fast operating speed.

Depending on the engineer, it could be all the hot air escaping from the cab!

.....Oh there may be some steam....If the Electric is pulling a passenger train and the time reference is some time ago and it has a steam generator, it very well may be emitting some wafts of steam....

Actually, the college I attended was neither small or midwestern, but the school song does sound alot like "I've been working on the railroad".

Let me see if I can figure out how I put an address on the profile thingamajig

Enquiring minds want to know . . . which college?

Also if you will email me one of your email address I will put you in the address book and send you some neat "stuff". I currently am sending out a super cool helo paint job that you wouldn't believe. It looks real.
