Horsepower absolutely does factor in a locomotives pulling power. It's not just tractive effort! A 5,000 horsepower locomotive will pull more than a 4,000 horsepower locomotive.
A locomotives most important number is neither tractive effort or horsepower. The most important number to a...
When I found out they were re-releasing Titanic in 3D, I was livid!
This movie is a historically inaccurate piece of rubbish. Essentially the people who made this movie took an awesome tragedy in human history and added a whole bunch of fake characters and focused almost entirely on the budding...
Hardwood forests are the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. They support hundreds of tree species, tens or hundreds of other plants species and hundreds of animal species.
Broadleaves enrich soil and make it better growing matter than needle leaves. Needle leaves in fact have...
Tampering with natural fire regimes in any wild land is harmful. It is especially detrimental to the hardwood forest. Humans tamper with fire regimes in 4 ways: accident, arson, 'prescribed' fire and fire suppression.
Hardwood forests are not fire adapted or fire dependent ecosystems. At most...

I present to you what may in fact be the most powerful locomotive of all time!
This beast is the Pennsylvania Railroad Q2. It is a 4-4-6-4 duplex drive steam locomotive. She generated nearly 8,000 horsepower (7,987 horsepower to be exact.)
I only wish one of her kind survived.
This Goliath is the Electro Motive DDA40X.
This beast has has two V16 diesel engine blocks. Each produces 3,300 horsepower. Multiply that by two and you get 6,600 horsepower. This is the single most powerful diesel-electric locomotive on Earth.
My personal favorite diesel-electric locomotive is the Electro Motive Division SD70ACE.
It looks like this:
This locomotive has a 4,300 horsepower V12 diesel engine block. It generates 157,000 pound feet of linear torque (tractive effort)!
My first AMV post is about this AMV.

It is a fan made opening of the show Charmed made by
'leo201083'.
This AMV combines clips from the show with the song 'Ego' by 'Otto Dix'. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
The Following is the Electro Motive Division SD90MAC. This monster has a 6,250 horsepower v16 diesel engine block.
This beast produces 137,000 pound feet of linear torque.
The Mac Truck known as the Granite Elite is 440 Horsepower and 1655 pound feet of torque.

I want to study tornadoes not only to increase warning time and accuracy, but also maybe to do something about the tornadoes. Yes I do mean I...

No, I do not believe in evolution! I do believe that God gave animals the ability to adapt to survive in many environments!
It kind of goes back to Luke 12:6 which says: "6 Are not five sparrows sold for...

Does no one care anymore. Is everyone just a money hungry idiot?!
Monsters do exist. Although, they don't have sharp teeth or claws. Instead, they descend from very dark clouds. They destroy everything they touch. They even kill people. These monsters can grow to be 2 and a half miles wide.
The first monster I would like to talk about affected the towns of...

For most of the Church’s history, in many Christian denominations and movements, women have been denied the privilege of serving as leaders. This prohibition is due to the understanding of just one or two verses in the New Testament which do not seem to allow women to have a ministry which...
