Electric, Diesel and Steam Locomotives

I used to work in a shop where the owner deliberately kept the toilet nasty as possible because he didn't want his employees taking long breaks.

And GE stack fires are attributed to poor programed maintenence. Toilets: check out the sites that sell chemical toilets, like Prime inc. I would not reccomend looking at photo's from the forum folks unless you have a strong stomach. I don't know what you are talking about with the control stands.

Joe was 5110 hp and approx 110600 lb of tractive effort. They were originally meant for USSR but were later sold to MILW ,some other railroad i frogot :p and Brazil.

As for the rating on the engine - it is approx 10-15% higher then those for traction (eg SD70ACe is 4300 for traction so 4900 real). But much depends on humidity, temperature etc. Anyways - what really can be achieved of these engines is a mystery since they are computer controlled with some safety margin to assure high reliablity (if you really wanted then 8000 hp of those engines is quite possible - the big question is for how long ;) )

Was told by railman that viewings were higher out here, i guess so . . .

The Little Joes were built for the USSR but the sale was blocked.Most went to the Milwaukee Road, Three to the CSS&SB, and five went to Brazil.They had 5000 Horsepower.

One electric locomotive that I am curious about are the Milwaukee Road's "Little Joes." What was their tractive effort, horsepower, use and original use.

Are there any real reasons why GE locomotives seem to have turbo fires?

Does anyone know if there are design papers for the control stands knee knockers and all the others?

Does anyone of good websites of pictures of locmotive toilets? Some have appeared writing as being unkempt in adequacy.

Does anyone know the maximum horsepower ratings for SD70ACe, SD90MAC, GEVO44AC and AC60CW before parastical loads?

Oh too any of those who want ot put questions go right ahead, I am willing to share my whole head of knowledge!!!
