They say the diesels are there for braking and power supply for the passenger cars. Plus the length of the entire train isn't that long. If I sound like I know what I am talking about I don't!

My buddy said something about the dynamic braking of the diesels they had to control it somehow not sure how so not to slow the forward momentum. It's something I d like to find out. Why it stopped in Latrobe dont know as it was not scheduled. As we asked the one engineer in Altoona. Now the Big Boy seemed to be running a pump at the station.my buddy heard on net that Big Boy used more oil than what they planned coming over the mountains.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
