Western Railroad Discussion > Wabtec 3000 sitting in TehachapiDate: 01/13/21 11:11 Wabtec 3000 sitting in Tehachapi Author: x9000 Wabtec 3000 WB has been sitting at the Tehachapi depot since 0944 local. Short train and looks like they are getting ready to set out a car onto a spur.
Backing EB at 1150 after doing some switching to move a2 flat cars of rails from between cement ACFs and 2 tankers to the rear. Loram WB at 1200 heading to the loop. And 3000 picked up the rest of the train and headed towards the loop 1225. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 01/13/21 12:30 by x9000.

This is independent of
MU settings and must have some pretty decent fuzzy logic to determine when to do so. Out Date: 01/14/21 01:19 Re: Wabtec 3000 sitting in Tehachapi Author: exhaustED PHall Wrote:

Multiple levels of Poe's Law in action. Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.[1][2][3] The original statement, by Nathan Poe, read:[1] : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law These days: /s Is the usual symbol to denote sarcasm Frankly, I had no idea if the question about being plugged in at the depot/museum was sarcastic. After all it could have been a newbie question -- like I would have made a half century ago. Brian Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 01/14/21 12:07 by choodude. |
