i'm not happy with that answer.

 

I'm sorry you feel that way. Perhaps if you find the idea of reverse-piloting a train that repulsive, then you should contact the train operator.

 

Actually, though the power is generated by a diesel engine, the actual drive in a locomotive is electric, not diesel. the diesel engines simply generate the electricity to power the electric drive motors.

some engines are placed in the rear because the drivers are better liked by the dispatchers and if they run the train in to something, they are less-likely to get in jured if they're in the back. Duh!


Sorry Unki Trunkie...


I guees it was not my place to barge in here...

 

gott in himmel! You aren't going to laguna?!? Q1. For some chick??! Q2.

I'll even be there to cheer on Audi.

Dismissing initial causality for secondary??? How do you get there from here (softball)? Q3.

 

i pooped.

 

No problem.

I know how a diesel locomotive works, but that wasn't entirely germane to P_C's question. I wasn't even going to try to begin to explain it given the nature of the initial question.

 

Why is oil per barrel going down yet gas prices remain somewhat constant?

 

Dude, I've got rehearsal. If I want a fighting chance of conducting this group next semester (or later), I've got to be there.

That's just icing on the cake. If I conduct this group, the freshmen sopranos are mine. . . ya hear me!?!?!?!?! YA HEAR ME!?!?!?!??!

FAIL begats FAIL. The FAILBOAT must FAIL because it's the FAILBOAT.

I can only hope that I FAIL'd in answering that question. . .

 

YMMV. Our gas prices have gone down quite a bit.

 

Is circular rationalization its own relegion, or just supporting religion?
