Nostalgia & History > Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction MotorsDate: 11/17/20 20:02 Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction Motors Author: MacBeau Okay, so it's three and a half minutes of your life you'll never get back, but then again it's a whole train video including the mid-train help. The eastbound featured at Walong was recorded April 1993.

Love that you framed the shot with that tree and rock Love that you included the whole train - no unnecessary editing Love that you locked the tripod down and didn't pan, zomm, shake or jitter Love that spot. Lot's of great memories from that exact place. Great post! Thanks! Date: 11/17/20 21:21 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction Motors Author: oyw Great show!

Date: 11/18/20 17:39 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction Motors Author: Milwaukee It seemed like the lead units of the helper were screaming out a different tone than the other EMD's. Did others hear the same and if so any idea why those units may have sounded different?
Great video. It's too bad we can't hear thunder like that any longer even if normal people might consider it noise pollution. Date: 11/18/20 17:53 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction Motors Author: WAF I think that is the recording that changed the sound
Date: 11/18/20 18:40 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction Motors Author: srman Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 11/18/20 19:27 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday: Lumber Loads and Traction Motors Author: MacBeau The lead unit on the helper team soundes like all the cooling fans are at full speed.
