There's more to worry about with the nations Class 1 Rail Carriers than hazmat derailments. Runaway train carrying iron ore derails in San Bernardino; hazmat crew responding

You got it! The Government and the RR's are joined at the hip! They have been throughout history. Did you know that during WW II the RR's wer taken over by our Federal Government? This amounted to the Fed's managing the RR's. They needed to get troops and equipment across the country as...

America's Class I railroads guilt as charged! These carriers have been doing this sort of thing for decades! Hopefully it has finally bit them in the rear!

I reside in the desert southwest and yes pollen does exist in February. Is that the case here? :rolleyes:

Some of the comments here in this thread point to corruption and coverup. These hit the nail on the head! THE NS railroad is responsible for what happened here make no mistake about it. Having said that, make no mistake that the current administration holds big responsibility in it too...

If it were me I would test the voltage output of the POE at the camera. If it is near or less than the camera requires add an injector. Some POE switches provide poor documentation on rated POE output so if you are at the edge of sufficient an injector can solve the problem.

In the design of the eDumper vehicle it is a 100% certainty that going down hill produces the generating required for the battery system as well as the braking force required to control the machine. EV uses an inverter to run the electric motors powering the wheels. The eDumper does not use an...

Then you add https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124478_world-s-largest-ev-never-has-to-be-recharged Proves my point. This concept is not new either. Heavy equipment has been using this for decades. What is new is the introduction of the battery pack. It would not require going down hill...

Not to sharp on mechanics huh? Back in the old days of early automobiles manufacturers where making starters (motors) and generators (power sources) all in one unit. These were mounted on the front of the engine and powered by the engine crankshaft during operation. The same principle can be...

Lol, no. A generator to charge the batteries much the same as an alternator does on a gas vehicle.

Practical? No. Fun? extremely! The most interesting part of the article is: "When at full speed, the Zombie generates enough power to light a hospital. " If the geniuses behind EV would design a generator attached to a creation such as this, to keep the batteries charged, we might see...

Build a REAL electric vehicle! https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/texas-mechanic-builds-an-electric-mustang-that-goes-0-60-in-2-4-seconds/

Exactly! Well said.

What changed is that demand for electricity has remained relatively constant for the past 4 years now at roughly 4 trillion kWh. Meanwhile, plant closing have continued due to regulation and new plant construction has not kept pace with demand. Alternatives have not filled the gap either so we...
