That was a pickup truck.

I work for GE and we build that Loco as for jumping out I think that's a last ditch effort. the front of that loco is built from 5/8" plate with a solid 1" crash bar running vertical across the front. it will survive a crash with a lot of different things but I don't know if a head on with another loco would be survivable . what is interesting is the rest of the loco ( other that the platform and the front end ) is all .090 sheet metal we actually have to put ballast in the frame to bring it up to traction weight. BTW the weight on those beast is around 400,000 lbs and they are putting out 4400 HP to an electric generator that powers the traction motors.Originally posted by Craizie View PostAre the engineers trained to bail like that?Last edited by longshot; 07-04-2015, 09:17 PM.
