bentone Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 yup, that about sums it up. most modern trains run on diesel. older trains would run on coal and steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaBar2 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Third World shitholes tend to still be running steam locomotives from 60 years ago or more. We still had steam locomotive passenger train service in Houston, Texas in 1953-1954. I rode one with my grandmother, when I was three or four years old. This is the great Union Pacific "Challenger", UP 3985, the largest steam locomotive still running in the world. Cab ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Former Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 go china! At a fill-up, i asked and was told that an engine holds about 5,000 gallons. Think then about how many engines are used to pull a line, at least three, i've seen up to eight, and you realize that's a lot of fuel. i wonder soemtimes how effeicient freight really is. I've never seen an in depth story about that issue. If anyone knows of one, i'd like to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
