CB&Q E8 9976

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9976 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 7, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1953 ( c/n 18318 ) on EMD Order 2059A for eight E8's ( #'s 9970-9977 ), became BN 9976 sometime after the March 2, 1970 merger. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District on April 1, 1977, and was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen in Boise, Idaho, swapping out it's twin 12-cylinder Model 567B prime movers for 645E's and changing out it's twin steam generators for Detroit Diesel powered HEP units. It appears this unit went on to a brief career as MARC 68, and now resides at the Illinois Railway Museum, Union, Illinois. In the background is Train #11, the Nebraska Zephyr. Assuming everyone is on time, 9976 is on Train #109, due in Naperville at 11:32AM, #11 is due at Aurora at 11:37AM.

M'n eerste Mamiya, een 645E, een occasion. Ik fotografeerde er alleen mee in Japan. Fotolab Kiekie in Amsterdam ontwikkelde de films en maakte contactafdrukken. Op sommige foto's uit Japan is een vage streep te zien, een lichtlek bij de fotoback van de camera. Deze werd gerepareerd door een handelaar in occasions aan een gracht.

2018.10 那覇大綱挽

Naha’s Tug of War (Naha Tsunahiki) can be traced back to the 17th century.

The rope is usually around 200 meters (650 feet) long, weighing around 90,500 pounds, and around 1.56 meters in diameter. The tug-of-war takes place each year, and the rope is rebuilt—and stretched a bit—each and every time.  Tons of straw are painstakingly hand woven into strands, with each 40 strands being twisted into a thin rope.  Nine thin ropes become a larger foundation rope used to form both the main ropes, each about 100 meters long, and to accomplish a band wrap around the bundled individual main ropes [Source].

For more information, you can read about it on Visit Okinawa or Naha o-tsunahiki.

Day 5: EMD SD45

Info from Wikipedia

The SD45 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1965 and 1971. It has an EMD 645E3 twenty-cylinder engine generating 3,600 hp (2,680 kW) on the same frame as the SD38, SD39, SD40, and SDP40. As of 2021, most SD45s have been retired, scrapped or rebuilt to SD40-2 standards. 1,260 were built for American railroads before the SD45-2 replaced it in 1972, along with the related SD45T-2 'Tunnel Motor'. SD45s had several teething problems. Reliability was not as high as anticipated; the twenty-cylinder prime mover was prone to crankshaft failure from engine block flex. Though it produced 600 horsepower (450 kW) more than the 16-645E3 in the SD40, some railroads felt the extra horsepower wasn't worth it, even after EMD strengthened the block to eliminate crankshaft failures. At low speeds, when tractive effort was adhesion-limited, the SD45 provided no advantage over the SD40. Buyers included the Burlington Northern, Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Pennsylvania Railroad, the Great Northern Railway, Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific Railway. Many SD45s still exist, some rebuilt with sixteen-cylinder 645s for lease companies. SD45s and SD45-2s owned by Montana Rail Link retain their 20-cylinder prime movers. Wisconsin Central used to roster a large fleet of SD45s, but its sale to CN has resulted in the retirement of the entire fleet, with mass scrappings. Montana Rail Link is also starting to sell some for scrap.

Preserved SD45 locomotives:

Great Northern 400, named "Hustle Muscle", was the first production SD45. It is preserved by the Great Northern Railway Historical Society, based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was in active service on the Minnesota Transportation Museum's Osceola and St. Croix Valley Railway until it suffered a crankshaft failure in its original 20-645E engine, requiring a replacement engine to be installed. BNSF Railway overhauled a 20-645E engine from a retired ex-ATSF SD45-2 and donated and installed the new engine in January 2019.

Erie Lackawanna No. 3607 is preserved at the St. Louis Museum of Transportation. Restored to EL colors, this unit is a static display.

Norfolk and Western No. 1776, a high-hood unit, is a static display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation.

Northern Pacific 3617 is preserved at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. It has been restored to active service.

Seaboard Coast Line No. 2024 is preserved at the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum.

Southern Pacific No. 8800/7457 is a static display at the Utah State Railroad Museum.

Wisconsin Central No. 7525 is at the Illinois Railway Museum and is operable. It is one of two WC SD45 units to be painted in an Operation Lifesaver scheme.

Kansas City Southern No. 1200 is at the Rail Museum of Heroica Matamoros in Matamoros, Mexico on static display
