Hi, Romanian here. The pantograph is correct. The Contact Area is the entire top "bar" part. The overhead wire is meant to go from one side to another, to spread the wear evenly on the head, otherwise it just becomes a saw. As long as any part of the top of the pantograph is touching, you can have current in the locomotive.

Hyce does PTC measure distance in miles/feet or in meters? Example, our ATP used to measure in meters, even with the UK ECTS, though they use mph, the system measures in meters as far as I am aware. We use the measuring feature when the train dives underground and it becomes time to announce the station as one function. I used to think ATP is not such a cool thing but then I rethought about my position and that no one complains about pilots getting extra safety features, we as train crews deserve the extra help too. Safety is a good thing.

ES&Dynamite was one hell of an amazing surprise!

I honestly don't have anything against oil burners as I am in the same state as the Mt. Rainier scenic railroad. I am only ranting about the Historic Landmark side as the protections provided by the Historic Landmark would play a huge role of keeping the place/vehicle of historic value from being destroyed, but have a side effects of being strict against modifications. Like if the Historic place/vehicle did have modifications prior to becoming a historic landmark then it will be limited to the period, but if the historic place/vehicle didn't have modifications prior to becoming a historic landmark, they are screwed. So, I strongly believe that changing fuel source can have effect with the Historic Landmark, since Durango & Silverton didn't burn oil prior to becoming a historic landmark, I think soon it won't be the ridership or cost that will bite it. In the end, it still matter if the place/vehicle is a Historic Landmark or not. Virginia & Truckee for example historically burnt wood, coal, and oil so it will be easy for them. If I were to find out about this before the oil conversion, I would state my concern as the protections provided from being a Historic Landmark still play a role of keeping the railroad alive for future generations. So, I only fond out when this video came out. Also, in regards to the White Pass & Yukon route, they will end up facing the same risk as the Durango & Silverton because of the Alcos they sold after they became a Historic Landmark.

That system is really cool honestly, and I can definitely understand the drivers worry about losing jobs, but I honestly don't think the public would allow trains to drive autonomously when its not like an airport shuttle or something.

Imagine if 491 could talk. If you blow her new whistle, she'd said: "Mark, wtf is this stupid whistle? YOU DON'T EVEN ASK ME TO PUT THAT WHISTLE." So that's what i would think if she'd says that. 😊

It's so tiny! Good on them for saving it!

You have sacrificed JohnDoes sanity for our general amusement and im all for it. Though i did thank him for his due diligence to make sure you pay debts on time.

Can we get life of Boris? We have life of Boris at home. Life of hyce: Haha love it

Proof that men and women are different. Only men seem to like this stuff.

Interesting. However, I think it might get more views if you edit it down to 20 min.

Where is the hook coupler ?

Hyce!!! You should visit the Old Niles Canyon Railway in Fremont, CA. Definitely some interesting things to see.

me before clicking the video: "heh, he probably means it humourously and NOT literally." me after clicking on the video: "o h ."

Day one of Asking for an Auxiliary Tender 101 video

Wonder if you could do a 'S282 without a tender' challenge - basically run a job with whatever water you can squeeze into the boiler and only as much coal as you can fit on however many loose shovels you can lying on the floor of the cockpit? 🙄

Hyce fun fact for you. Its been awhile since i played DV because i need to upgrade my computer to continue handling it but unless they changed it the last time i played you can stand on the cab roof and use keyboard controls to control the locomotive. Same with anywhere on any locomotive. As long as you were on it you could use the keyboard to control it. Might be handy on certain occasions your on the roof and find yourself in a pickle.

Absolutely incredible and equally inspiring. I complain I don't have the space. I need to shut up and do something!

Sounds like a very crappy day

I definitely liked the AC/DC parody! Keep the fun DV content coming!

vacuum brakes better? Hell no! Even in the 1930s, the LNER was considering Westinghouse brakes due to the ineffectiveness of vacuum brakes at high speeds.

hyce i think there is a you tube video of a man who made an electric guitar out of ramen noodles it turned out great

what refrieded beans again

The new theme song for the ES&D

Any comments on ETCS? It's currently being tested here in Finland.

I’d Love to see more of these K-37 Kitchen videos. As im the only one in my family with an interest in trains this helps get the rest of my family involved as they watch alot of cooking stuff. A best of both worlds

We here at YOU saw NOTHING Services. We Take pride in knowing that happy accidents can always be fixed. Exploded a harbor? No problems. Multiple epa hazards and bio hazards? We got you. Blood inside that coach? Naw man. Thats jam and in 5 minutes you wont see it. Cause YOU saw NOTHING. We look forward to future business

Clear back in the 40's, Pere Marquette was using ATS (Automatic Train Stop). The FRA ordered the 1225 crew to remove the no longer functional hardware. I assume ATS was a neanderthal ancestor of PTC?

The start of this video I thought Hyce has finally lost it, then saw the yard and was "Ahhhhh, yes, Splody Bois... so no minds were lost, but Kenoshas will be smelt soon!"

The 4-4-0 American C has the most class.

That is my new favourite ACDC song/cover. Please tell me it's on Spotify

😂 tick...tock. More C o S less DV

answer: Smelly. lol

An easy way to test if the train stops is to pull the brakes and see if the train stops.

I'm currently working on a recreation of the Colorado Railroad Museum in Roblox, and this video not only helps with figuring out the museum layout, but also how the train rides are run. Each explanation you give in this video regarding how trains run on the loop is critical to my efforts in simulating them in the virtual world. Looking forward to more content on the museum and its operation soon! Cheers, Tetsu

The Boom Box Bois couldn’t contain their excitement it seems… ;)

Hey, big boy,,,, come up and see me. I've crawled 4012 when in Vermont, as a kid. was fun. they had to move it kinda often, it always sank in one spot

Lube me up, babe, lol

I loved hearing your song in the video. I was screaming ES&D 🤟🏻😂

first time hearing mark sing, was not disappointed

When Leighton missed his head with the limes, I couldn’t stop laughing 😂

In my country its called wessel not switch

*Listens to start of video* Huh, I didn't know Palpatine played Derail Valley!

So, I doubt you're probably going to read this message, wouldnt be surprised if you have me blocked because of how much I comment, but I digress. I was curious about boiler thickness. So I work in the school bus industry. We have a few propane buses with twin tanked under them. The tanks are rated to something like 350 PSI, I might be wrong on that number, but its pretty high, although the safety valves dont let it get above a certain threshold, I believe 140 PSI, again, might be wrong on number, but close. It shocked me to learn that the tank was around 3/16" (0.1875" ) thick. When you were working on 346, I was seeing numbers around half an inch, sometimes down to like 0.420". Why are the boilers on these locomotives so much thicker than these propane tanks? I have 3 main theories; heat, size or diameter of the boiler, metal composition. You can also add structure in there as the boiler needs to hold itself up by the firebox, but I dont think thats a primary factor in the thickness of the boiler. regards

Thanks Hyce, as a Railroad Conductor currently this is exactly what PTC does. It’s not Full proof but it’s a backup. Still as a conductor I still have to know my territory and use the timetable charts and know where Quiet Zones are or speed restrictions are at to let the engineer know. Can’t be over speeding going into a siding. When there is a restricted speed going In or leaving out. Sometimes PTC does crap out on us so we have to follow through timetable and get word from Dispatch. But it is what is.
