Trainwire,

Now I see what's going on with the traction motor and the resulting release of smoke!

and a GE 44 tonner. (the shorted one, it was wide open, we were plowing snow with it, and one of the brush leads shorts to ground. Blue-green
smoke everywhere.)

In the words of Homer Simpson... "Dohh!!!"

Curious to how long it took to fry with full throttle at low speed against the snow. You would think a switcher could take that task easilly. Maybe you need to put a slug with that 44 tonner, then take a crack at the snow!

ATSF had an Alco RSD-15 and a slug [cut down from another RSD] that worked the Hump Operation at Barstow, Ca. classification yard. Never left the hill, just kicked cars!

Very cool list of equipment! If I ever travel your way [eastern seaboard], definitely gotta look you up!!!
