Local Crane Service was called to retrieve the wayward locomotive. Tim W.   Date: 06/03/19 19:00 Re: CSX 3007 go for launch... a trip into the TT pit - 03 June 20 Author: highgreengraphics "Check it" - - How about adding "chock the wheels" ? === === = === JLH

Neat shots of an interesting occurance. PQM Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/03/19 20:12 by BNSF-6432. Date: 06/03/19 20:18 Re: CSX 3007 go for launch... a trip into the TT pit - 03 June 20 Author: The-late-EMD Time for a whiz-quiz for somebody.
Posted from Android Date: 06/03/19 21:44 Re: CSX 3007 go for launch... a trip into the TT pit - 03 June 20 Author: gbmott With fewer and fewer turntables remaining, the odds of an accident like this happening have become pretty long. Will this one mark the end of a long railroad “tradition”?
Gordon Date: 06/04/19 01:58 Re: CSX 3007 go for launch... a trip into the TT pit - 03 June 20 Author: ajgreen Maybe CSX should adopt the BIG 5 (additional one being "Turntable in alignment").....
Easy way to drop out an axle for a motor change? Allister Date: 06/04/19 03:19 Re: CSX 3007 go for launch... a trip into the TT pit - 03 June 20 Author: ST214 gbmott Wrote:

Maybe the csx guys decided to do the same and put the locomotove in the launch position too Pedro Rezende Vespasiano MG, https://youtube.com/c/minasgeraisrailways1 Edited 1 time(s).

Posted from Android Date: 06/04/19 13:40 Re: CSX 3007 go for launch... a trip into the TT pit - 03 June 20 Author: wabash2800 That's probably one more reason that turntables are much less common these days. And you notice the edge of the pit seems to always jab the fuel tank...
