Nostalgia & History > Engineering oddities (Worlds most powerful grill)Date: 02/10/04 13:54 Engineering oddities (Worlds most powerful grill) Author: highballmfr Sometimes the Engineering engineers get a little carried away. On a beautiful fall day last year when we were testing, the (external)dynamic brake grids ended up being used to grill lunch.
Yes, the hotdogs were eaten.  Date: 02/10/04 14:51 Re: Engineering oddities (Worlds most powerful grill) Author: MTMEngineer ROFLMAO!

Please post a few more pix of those old SD60MACs that you have out there on the DOT Test Track! Do you folks still have a U30C and GP40-2? Photos of those would be especially appreciated. Thanks! Cheers, Harry Date: 02/11/04 06:49 Re: Engineering oddities (Worlds most powerful grill) Author: prionw I particularly enjoy "engineering" aspects of railroads and trains - the technology, components, design, manufacture, testing, etc. There doesn't seem to be an appropriate category to post such topics - perhaps we need a "Technology" discussion group?

Whether it be steam cooking a can of beans with the tricocks, a can of spaghetti on the exhaust manifold or dynamic brake dogs nothing can keep a hungry railroader from his food. Any of you who have met me will attest.
