RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I get the general idea of what happened.......but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.COS Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 A guy at work explained it to me. Basically engines are linked togeather on the same throttle and one engine's throttle is out of sync. The train is stopped, but the wheels on one engine slowly turn and grind the rail. If nobody catches it then this happens. It's called rail burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODoyle Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 How does the train car get out of that? does it make enough power just to pull it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Umm, the other engines can pull it out, but I'm thinking they're gonna uncouple the rest of the train to avoid derailing cars in those...and the wheels on the locomotive had to have been prety well shot...I'm thinking they call in a recovery engine, hoist that bugger and replace those wheels on the spot...
