The tiny switcher ("S" for six hundred horsepower, "W" for welded frame) was EMC's first truly mass-pro- duced loco, the first with Electro-Motive's own elec- trical gear, and the first mass-produced engine Tpowered by the 567 diesel motor — which would become the backbone of first-generation American diesel power. Popular with railroads large and small, the SW1 stayed in production for 15 years, and many remained in service for three or more decades. Our RailKing Scale SW1 has everything you'd want in a switcher: front and rear remote Proto-Couplers, smooth performance at any speed down to 3 scale miles per hour, dual-motor power, and authentic EMD sounds.

The 6,750 h.p. E8 A-B-A arrangement was known for pulling passenger trains on most major express routes at speeds up to 100 mph. This streamlined beauty was one of the last Tlocomotives to sport the Bulldog nose look that EMD popularized a decade earlier.

During that time, there was a shift to more utilitarian general pur- pose locomotives, which went on to dominate the railroad landscape for two decades. Once again the E8 returns to the RailKing line complete with all the big fun and excitement that this able handler of passenger trains provides.

The first SW-class engine, the 600-hp SW1, appeared in 1939, and the SW-units remained in the EMD catalog until the 1,000-hp ESW-1000 was finally retired in 1986.

  • Locomotive Cooling Water Temperatures
    LOCOMOTIVE COOLING WATER TEMPERATURES An engineman's guide to proper control of engine cooling systems and maintaining optimum cooling temperatures during standard operation of locomotives. This document is intended as a guide and reference of locomotive engine cooling water temperatures. All attempts shall be made to make clear the various key temperatures, when and how they should be achieved, as well as the various terms used throughout the document. The astute engineman reading this document may note that certain themes, subjects and terms are repeated throughout. This is quite intentional, and serves to increase exposure of subject material for attempted retainment by the subject. In addition to cooling water temperatures, there will be included a section regarding the draining of the air reservoirs on page four [4]. Terms, Definitions, and Explanations During the course of this document there will be some terms used which may cause confusion as to what they infer. To avoid undue confusion said terms shall be listed and defined below, and some may include exceptions and/or informative additions on a case by case basis as they apply to certain locomotives. There will also be a basic overview of how the diesel prime mover and it's cooling system work. The engineman should come to know these terms and the applicable definitions, as well the various important differences between locomotives for which exceptions may apply. Load: Increasing the amount of work required of an engine. This is more or less when you place the locomotive in "run" and apply power via the throttle whilst a direction is selected with the reverser.

  • Jackass & Western Railroad
    Introduction During the height of operations in the 1960s, the Jackass & Western Railroad, located in Area 25 of the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), formerly know as the Nevada Test Site (NTS), was the shortest and slowest operating railroad in the United States. However, it was the railroad’s important mission that made it such: the railroad trans- ported research reactors, NERVA reactors/ nuclear engines, and equipment between facilities at the NTS Nuclear Rocket Development Station (NRDS) in support of Project Rover. Project Rover researched the adaptation of small, powerful nuclear reactors for long-range spacecraft propulsion. Background To accomplish its mission, the Jackass & Western Railroad traveled nine miles of track between three NRDS test stands: A, C, and The 80-ton diesel-electric locomotive sits in the E-MAD Engine Test Stand-1; the Reactor as it is prepared for its journey. Maintenance, Assembly, and Disassembly facility (R-MAD); and the Engine Maintenance, Assembly, and Disassembly facility (E-MAD). Although small, the railroad had a rolling stock consist- ing of four locomotives that included the fleet work horse: an 80-ton diesel-electric locomotive; as well as a 17-ton electric prime mover, a 25-ton diesel-electric switch engine, a gas-powered "speeder" track mainte- nance locomotive, four specialty cars, ten flatcars, two dump cars, one railroad crane with multiple track maintenance cars, and multiple engine test cars. The Jackass & Western Railroad 80-ton diesel-electric locomotive was specially modified and reconditioned by the General Electric Locomotive Works at a cost of $117,126 in 1964 for use at the NRDS.

He was ably assisted in certain activities by the lower animals the beasts of burden that have served especially in transportation and agriculture. The changeable and fitful wind was also long utilized, especially for pumping water and propelling ships. Small water-power plants were developed and used for sawing lumber, grinding grain, carding wool, weaving cloth, and other small industrial processes. But the universal supply of energy for productive work was furnished by human beings, fre­ quently by slaves, and so long as this condition prevailed the human race was able to produce only the bare necessities of life, and famine was forever stalking in the background of existence.
