Illinois Railway Museum - Even with a Cab Car, You Still Need a Locomotive

  • Even with a Cab Car, You Still Need a Locomotive! From Rail & Wire Issue 179, September 1999 by Peter Schmidt Metra 305 is one of the two commuter F-7’s that Metra recently donated to IRM.
  • . Any diesel unit in the Museum Collection equipped with standard MU cable connections could be used to propel the cars in push-pull service.
  • . But since the cars have sealed windows and depend on electrical head-end power (HEP) from the locomotive for ventilation, heat, air-conditioning, and lights, an engine with HEP must be used if passengers are to be carried in comfort.
  • . When the cars arrived, there was only one operational unit at Union equipped with HEP, BN-3.
  • . It certainly pulled early bi-level trains, with cars like our Cars 1 and 6, but not after they were converted for HEP.
  • . So while 1518 would look great pulling the train, it wouldn’t do if passengers are being carried.
  • . And Metra agreed to donate them to IRM! This donation went much faster than the one for the cars, and the two units were at Union for a formal dedication ceremony on Memorial Day.

  • . Information on the design details of the equipment - both for the carbody and for the interior arrangement - is developed for use in analytic models and in the fabrication of test articles.
  • . Information developed from accidents includes the damage to the carbodies, such as structural failure, and forensic evidence, such as blood, in the interior.
  • . In some instances, potentially effective changes in either the carbody structure or the interior arrangement can be directly inferred from accident consequences.
  • . For example, significant differences may be expected for a locomotive-led train colliding with another locomotive-led train than for a locomotive-led train colliding with a cab car-led train.
  • . Of particular concern are collisions involving cab cars as one or both of the impacting cars.
  • . In comparison to locomotives, cab cars are exposed to more risk in collisions.
  • . The presence of passengers, the cab car being of lighter weight and weaker strength than the locomotive, and the cab operator being placed at the extreme end of the car, with essentially no structure ahead of him or her, render the car vulnerable.

  • . When the gas pedal is pushed down, depending on the demand, the growl escalates; under full throttle, it's a racing-car roar, with every one of those 505 horses making themselves well known.
  • . Cornering is generally very good for a big rig, but by no means car-like; the Ram SRT-10 handles spurts of acceleration remarkably well, even on wet roads, but the heavy pickup body and adverse front-rear weight ratio certainly makes itself known around turns, especially under throttle.
