[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by TheAntiGates</i> <br /><br />The tunnel motor design had nothing to do with the location of hot exhaust gasses while <i> inside </i> the tunnels. <br />It was all about their ability to cool down faster while <u>between</u> tunnels. <br /> <br />Former EMD guru Jack Wheelihan covered this in an earlier issue of trains magazine. <br /> <br />with the force of exhaust flow and the air turbulance caused by the trains movement inside the tunnel, the fact that 'heat rises" is not by itself sufficient to keep the heat stagnated near the top of the passageway. <br />[/quote] <br />if that is true then what is the design advantage of the tunnel motor configuration
