Never tried to pound in a nail with a Tuna before, or would it be better used sawing a board.[:D][:D][:D] Sorry, I guess I put on my smarty pants by mistake this morning.[:0]

Ok, I will now go to the black board and write' Never, ever, tease the great and wonderous Mookie' a thousand times.[:I][:I][:I]

Just remember you can tuna piano, but you can't tuna fish. I know that stinks, but hey - what do you want for free!

[?] OK Next question. The Pic of the day is 3 steam engines all triple headed pulling one train. How did the engineer in the first engine let the other 2 engineers know when to go to the next trottle position and when to apply the air brakes? My guess is with the whistle but what would be the different signals involved? Any ideas would be interesting. And the truth even more so.

Skeets would tell you that they put a switchman or brakeman out on the side of the train and they would wave signals to the next locomotive! Yes he would!

....And don't forget there may have been one or two more on the rear of the [or any], train to enter into the equation. I do understand whistle signals were used but what specifically they were, I don' know.

....A bit more on getting started with multi engines on the train...Steam engines, that is....Used to be in position to observe coal trains restarting after adding some cars from a mine, and you would hear the engine[s], up front whistle...and in a moment whistling coming from the engines on the rear and momentarily the train would start with both engines in front and the ones in back blasting up the stack getting the train started.

[CSSHEGEWISCH]

On a steam doubleheader or tripleheader, brakes (except in emergency) could only be controlled by the engineer in the lead. Locomotives have a doubleheading valve to cut out the brake stand when in a trailing position.

The double heading issue (or was it helpers, or both?) has been discussed recently in Trains. Whistle signals were used, as I recall from anything I've read. There is a specific sequence of who applies power when.

.....The signals had to be from whistles...There wasn't anything else. If train was wrapped around a bend there was no line of sight signals, for sure. I do remember hearing quite a bit of whistle activity between the front and pusher crew in preparing to start out a load.

I have a new question. I am wondering why Trains stop before decending down a steep grade (mountain grade). I live near the Horseshoe Curve, right atop the Gallitzin Tunnels in PA on the NS 3 track mainline. I watch trains all the time. I am aware they stop to cut helpers off, but most trains go right on through with the helpers still attached to help slow down on the decent. So what I am asking, what are the Engineers/Locomotives doing when they stop briefly, at the peak of this Mountain Grade ? ? ?

What they're doing is stopping all momentum. It's much harder to start moving with out momentum, and takes a little longer to build it up. It's also a good thing in that they'll know the brakes work.
