What has been read cannot be unread Kudos!

It’s an infraction and he’ll likely get more ground schooling time to pound it into his head “Read Back!”. Also the controller should have prompted him for a readback confirming he received and understood the taxi clearance, or lack thereof. The AWOS usually has and admonition to “read back all taxi and hold short…

Modern diesel electric locomotives have resistor grids mounted on top of the engine that dissipate the braking current generated by the traction motors as heat (think “toaster”). These grids are accompanied by a cooling fan to draw air over the grids.

Yeah, just like we’re doing with the Webb telescope.

I’m the happy owner of a V-Rod, and looking forward to HD’s upcoming new generation of watercooled bikes.

Meanwhile, Voyagers are travelling interstellar space and might possibly outlive our solar system. 

And then Porsche showed up.

Thanks.  I knew it had something to do with braking and the FRA.

UP and GE utilized three generations of gas turbines for a reason: They ran on heavy residual fuel oil, which in the late 50s and early 60s was considered a waste product of oil refining. Throughout the 60s improvements in refinery cracking technology gradually made heavy residual fuel oil more useful, and thus more…

Freight engines don’t produce head-end power. UP has dedicated power cars (“Howard Fogg 209") lashed up to their business car consists to provide power. I was told modern diesels provide better brake pipe pressure plus can act as backup in case of breakdown.

Germans are tilting dangerously close to “Screaming Eagle” territory.

I’ll see your sportbike “attention” and raise you:

Great, another “I Hate Harley” thread.

Thanks for your factual postings. All ships entering U.S. waters, regardless of flag, must comply with our federal and state clean water regs and emissions regulations.

Who are called “investors”. Returning excess retained earnings (directly via dividends or indirectly via buybacks) to the shareholders allows *them* to make more investments in their own portfolios.

To be replaced with what?

Harley’s original Revolution, Revolution-X and Revolution Max engines are all 60 degree, water-cooled and OHC with an integrated transmission. And they’ve been making this architecture continuously since 2001 in one variation or another.

Yup. 73 cents a gallon, state and feds.

Pendantic, but it’s a Stromberg CDSEV. Constant depression. And remember to check the dashpot damper oil.
