Steamer, forgot to ask if all those cranes were praying over something you did?

Funny feeling when you leave work and there are cranes everywhere picking up what you did, whether you did it or not....

Yes Uke I am, it is a relic. The most modern unit we have is a SD40, a leased one, CITX 3032. We have a bunch of GP-9's paired with GP-9's converted to slugs, SW900's and MP1500's too. Along with 3 sd-38's its a regular zoo

During my tenure with BN, the push was ta "convert" Geep 9s ta 26-L brakes from 6-BL, and removing "dual-control" set-ups from a lot of SD-9s equipped with 24-R brake sets.

Thegoal was installing 26-L equipment in all BN's locomotives... And a lot of older GP-7s, GP-9s, SWs, and SDs were still being converted to 26-L seven, eight, nine years after the BN was created.

There was a period where BN couldn't supply all the backshops with the 26-L "kits," and they delayed the program for a while... So they stripped, and cannibalized damn near everything that was scrapped, or wrecked ta supply the most useful units with the "new" brake system.

Apparently 26-L was a pretty reliable brake system. Everything NYAB, and Westinghouse supplied the railroads with "emulate" the old system... The 30-RL, and the EAB both follow 26-L workings. In fact trouble shooting EAB, which is a "modular" system, ya damn near follow the piping of 26-L brakes.

I had pretty good luck working with 26-L brake equipment, and seems ta me anyway, most engineers liked running units that were equipped with 26-L.

we have 3 units left with a 6L brake. They are leased out for the most part, except for one that keeps coming back and I have used it 3 or 4 times. What a hunk of junk that is. The notches on the automatic are worn out, so after taking a application , you try and put it into lap, but its hard to find as its worn. @6L is what we use, and its great.
