TMTM Athearn’sAthearn’s Ready-To-RollReady-To-Roll BethGonBethGon®® Includes Prototypical Coal Load TM The New HO Scale Ready-To-Roll BethGon® Coalporter he Johnstown America BethGon® was developed for the power industry in the late 1970s as a more efficient means of transporting large quantities of coal. These high-sided gondolas incorporated a double tub floor design that not only lowered T the center of gravity of the loaded car, but also increased the hauling capacity by 21 tons per car. This new design was well-suited for use with automated loading and unloading facilities then being developed for use in the coal industry. By 1982, enough cars had been built that if coupled into a single train they would stretch from Pittsburgh to Chicago. Granted a patent in 1982, the design has continued to evolve. The aluminum version of the BethGon® now being delivered lowers the tare weight of the car while increasing the payload so the BethGon® design is able to carry almost five times its own weight. The Athearn Ready-To-Roll™ model features the attention to detail and operation that has become a hallmark of the line. The BethGon® model has exquisite detail incorporated in its state-of-the-art tooling. To complement the crisply molded body and under- frame, the car features separate stand-alone applied details as well as full interior bracing. A removable plastic coal load that is subtly shaded to fully capture the reflective nuance of real coal tops off all of the rich detail. Available in five-packs with each car carrying a unique road number, the new BethGon® will provide exemplary service on layouts from coast to coast. � 93000 - Undecorated - Single � 93001 - BN #1 - 5 Pack � 93004 - BNSF #1 - 5 Pack � 93007 - CSX #1 - 5 Pack � 93002 - BN #2 - 5 Pack � 93005 - BNSF #2 - 5 Pack � 93008 - CSX #2 - 5 Pack � 93003 - BN #3 - 5 Pack � 93006 - BNSF #3 - 5 Pack � 93009 - CSX #3 - 5 Pack � 93010 - APEX #1 - 5 Pack � 93013 - JECX #1 - 5 Pack � 93016 - CWEX #1 - 5 Pack � 93011 - APEX #2 - 5 Pack � 93014 - JECX #2 - 5 Pack � 93017 - CWEX #2 - 5 Pack � 93012 - APEX #3 - 5 Pack � 93015 - JECX #3 - 5 Pack � 93018 - CWEX #3 - 5 Pack BethGon® Coalporter features: Fully Assembled Full Interior Bracing Blackened Metal RP25 Wheel Sets Concealed Weights for optimum performance Automatic Knuckle Couplers Separately applied Metal Grab Irons Removable Cast Coal Load © 2003 Athearn, Inc.

  • LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER TRAINING HANDBOOK February, 2006
    LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER TRAINING HANDBOOK February, 2006 Locomotive Control Stand Orientation An important part of your Locomotive Engineer training will be operating locomotive simulators, and your first simulator activity will be very early in the class. The following pages are an introduction to some of the controls on a locomotive control stand. While there are some differences between locomotives, there are also many common items that are covered in the following pages. This material is intended more as an introduction; it will make your first simulator activities easier and will help you prepare for more material that will be covered in lessons on air brakes, preparing locomotives for service, dynamic braking and train handling. Your assignment for tonight is to read this material and answer the questions at the end. The assignment will be checked for completeness at the start of day one orientation. LET Staff The reverser handle is the lowest handle on the control stand. It has three positions: left, centered, and right. When the handle is moved to the right, circuits are set up for the locomotive to move in that direction. When the handle is moved to the left, the locomotive will move in that direction when power is applied. With the reverser handle centered, mechanical interlocking prevents movement of the dynamic brake handle, but the throttle can be moved. In such case, power will not be applied to the traction motors. Reverser Handle The reverser handle is centered and removed from the panel to lock the throttle in IDLE position and the dynamic brake handle in OFF position.

This program focuses on some of the mainline action on the Elgin Joliet & Eastern (EJ&E), Indiana Har­ • Locations include Rondout cross­ Abor Belt (IHB) and CSX's former Baltimore & Ohio Chi­ ing, Leithton, Hawthorne Hills, ca-go Terminal (B&OCT). The EJ&E is the outermost Belt West Chicago crossing, Eola cross­ line around the Chicago area and crosses every major railroad coming into Chicago! The IHB and former ing, Aurora, Walker Junction, B&OCT intersect with most of the major railroads closer Plainfield, Des Plaines River to and in Chicago. The EJ&E and IHB are heavy steel crossing, Joliet, Griffith crossing, haulers as well as providers of transfer service among Van Loon crossing, Gary, Whiting, the other railroads. Many of the major roads run road Hammond crossing, State Line trains and transfers on these belt lines and we capture the action. In addition we capture several crossing (lUIN), Blue Island Junction, EJ&E and IHB trains with their well-maintained classic EMD power and cabooses!

The goal of the Genesis line is to fully capture with exacting fidelity the many subtle nuances of this railroad classic. Response from model railroaders and industry experts alike proves that we have achieved our stated goal of manufacturing the finest model yet made in general production. ‘This is an excellent model that has significantly raised the bar for detail ‘Each model is molded and assembled to duplicate its prototype with "accuracy" level on ready-to-run locomotives.’-Jeff Wilson, associate editor, being the key word’ Ken Goslett, Railroad Model Craftsman, May 2002** Model Railroader Magazine, April 2001* ‘The elusive nose contours are captured extremely well, and there is no seam line ‘The new Genesis locomotives are just plain elegant.

The CSXTHS Convention opened Thursday night, 4 June, at the St. Albans Depot with two railroad related power point presentations by members of the St. Albans Depot Historical Society. The rest of the convention was spent railfanning former Chesapeake & Ohio Railway sites that are now part of CSXT. Thursday night after the meeting at St. Albans some of us went trackside in back of our hotel and shot some CSXT action. Friday morning we started our railfanning early by standing trackside in back of our hotel to watch Amtrak’s Cardinal roll by. Then we were off to visit CSXT’s South Charleston Yard where we were given permission to shoot photos of the Yard activity as long as we stood in the employee parking lot. Next we traveled south to CSXT’s Danville Yard where, from public right-of-way, we took photos of the Yard, which contained a work train and two sets of power. Then we ran south for Logan and its yard where CSXT granted us permission to photo the Yard from the employee parking lot. The Yard was empty except for a coal train waiting to leave and a lone locomotive.

However, the discriminating observer can note a wealth of detail differences, even on cars made by the same T manufacturer. This second glance brings into clear focus the variations among modern freight cars. The Genesis PC&F 50’6" boxcar duplicates these variations to a level never before available on a production model.
