hello am about to repaint a bachmann split box class 37 into mainline freight blue / silver and am trying to select a suitable subject. platform 5 book for spring 1996 lists 37109 as in mainline freight livery but it then seems to have very quickly become one of the first in ew & s red. did it ever actually get blue as pictures seem to be non existent and i am well aware that some livery codes in platform 5 books should be taken with a pinch of salt... tia !

john, i think 37109 only ever carried triple grey with mainline branding, hence why it was an early repaint into ews livery, however i can' t seem to turn up any pictures to back this up. for mainline blue split - box machines you have a choice of 37013, 37023 and 37077, all of which carried the full blue livery. the majority of mainline machines were centre panel fitted, though a couple of flush fronted 37 / 7s also carried the colours. hth

37109 did carry the full mainline livery (sort of... . read on), but almost immediately got repainted ews red. i saw a magazine picture of it at the time in mainline livery (i. e. blue not triple grey) but with ews maroon roof panel working a train. as an aside 109 lost its nose end doors at the same time, which is unusual as most of the split boxes that lost doors were done at crewe in the late 80' s .
originally the ab handled all principal express services and main - line freight services, until the advent of the k' s and j' s when they were relegated to to freight haulage on branch and secondary lines. they were rated to haul 700 - 750 tons on easy grades. every district, except wellington, had a quota of ab' s. both the north and south island had the ab .

a series of freight container wagon derailments over the last few years were caused by interconnected common factors. track condition (in particular track twist), a wagon' s wheel / suspension - sensitivity to sub - optimal track geometry and the uneven loading of goods in freight containers causes' wheel unloading'. this can cause wheel (s) to lose contact with the rail and lead to derailment. none of the incidents in 2014 - 15 caused catastrophic consequences but all had the potential. they caused damage to the infrastructure and vehicles, but no fatalities or injuries. other notable incidents in 2014 - 15 included freight containers being blown off a wagon in high wind - an issue we are monitoring .

throughout the early 1990’s into the mid 2000’s, the illinois subdivision remained a busy mainline and received a substantial amount of daily freight traffic; sometimes as much as 10 - 15 trains per day. csx also added trains onto the illinois sub from the parallel former l & n st. louis line to the south, which was severed as a through - route in 1989. mainline rail traffic ran from st. louis to points eastward such as louisville and cincinnati. this traffic included autoracks, intermodal, grain trains, pipe trains, windmills and even military transport. the route also saw occasional coal trains that were re - routed onto the line. local rail traffic however began to slowly disappear during this period as on - line customers became increasingly sparse. this was primarily due to csx phasing out lower volume, loose car service .

thanks for that, seems to generally confirm my suspicions that 37109 never actually got mainline freight blue despite what the platform 5 books say. 37055 is another contender for me to do, i am looking for one that still has its door fittings on the front end rather than a smooth panel like 37013 and 37077, 37023 was done by lima and you no one does the etched nameplates because of the reversed colours. another potential minefield is that a couple of the split box machines painted only had the boxes on one end, an important lesson to make sure you have pictures of both ends before committing the paintbrush to your model! ! 37055 it is then... maybe... perhaps ...
that’s what you want when you’re trusting your business or precious items to another company. that’s why at mainstream we have a no - surprises policy – keeping you informed every step of the way, and take every step to catch things before they go wrong. for freight solutions that really do deliver, talk to us today
in 1893, the o & m was acquired by the baltimore & ohio southwestern railroad (b & osw) which later transitioned into the baltimore & ohio railroad (b & o) in 1900. following the takeover of the b & o railroad, the illinois subdivision became the western end of the b & o st. louis mainline. this was the first railroad line to reach the mississippi river from the eastern united states; running west from grafton, west virginia to cincinnati, ohio, through the southern half of indiana, into southern illinois and finally ending in st. louis. during this period, the b & o mainline became an important route for freight and passenger traffic directed toward st. louis from the eastern united states. many of the communities that reside along the illinois subdivision route today owe their existence and history to the booming b & o railroad. a few surviving depot buildings still exist along the route today as reminders of the b & o passenger trains that frequented the line until the early 1970’s. remaining depots are located in breese, carlyle, salem, flora, sumner, vincennes, and washington .
rails were cut at both caseyville, illinois and just west of flora, illinois. all railroad crossing signals along this nearly 90 mile - long stretch were deactivated. crossing gates were removed, signal lights were turned 90 degrees, and “tracks out of service” signs were posted. this officially put the line out of service from caseyville to flora. from flora eastward into vincennes, the line is still in operation for a local grain unit train (j700) providing rail service to the consolidated grain & barge elevator in olney, illinois and for local industry in flora. csx is also utilizing the flora yard for storage of coal hoppers and boxcars. all remaining mainline freight traffic was re - routed onto the csx st. louis line subdivision (former conrail) to the north .

this is a railfan website dedicated to the history of the illinois subdivision railroad line; the westernmost segment of the former baltimore & ohio (b & o) st. louis mainline. the line is currently owned & operated by csx transportation and runs from east st. louis, illinois to washington, indiana; a distance of approximately 159 miles. at it’s eastern end, the illinois subdivision crosses with the csx ce & d subdivision in vincennes, indiana and eventually transitions into the indiana subdivision line in washington. at it’s west end in east st. louis, the line meets the western end of the csx st. louis line subdivision (former conrail and prr mainline) and the terminal railroad association of st. louis. between o’fallon, illinois and the indiana state line, u. s. route 50 and old u. s. 50 parallel the tracks. train operations on the line are controlled by automatic block signaling (abs) .
i did 37055 by buying a mainline blue vi trains body of 37371 and heavily modifying (bodging) by adding the ends from a 37055 and modifying the roof. it wasn' t easy but for me was much cheaper than getting an airbrush which i am loathe to do at the moment. it sits on a bachmann 37 chassis and all lighting works as the light bar is situated in the nose. 37065 is an interesting one to do as it had one end rebuilt due to a collision. regards, lukasz
following the demise of coal trains in 2010, overall traffic on the illinois sub began to heavily decline. this was mostly due to csx diminishing support for the line as a through - route in favor of the former conrail line to the north (st. louis line subdivision) which it acquired in the 1999 merger. the st. louis line offered a faster through - route that could handle longer trains than the illinois sub. as a result, the majority of freight traffic that had once crossed the illinois subdivision slowly began to be re - routed onto the st. louis line. up until 2015, there were only 4 daily freight trains left on the illinois sub, which included csx q234, q247 & q265 (eastbound autorack trains from st. louis to louisville) and q204 (westbound autorack train from louisville to st. louis) .

a distinct feature of the b & o mainline during this era was the unique color position light (cpl) signals. cpl’s were exclusive to the b & o railroad and an innovation in signaling following their design and installation in the early 1920’s. cpl’s were designed to simulate upper quadrant semaphore blade signals that were the standard across railroad lines at the time. the rounded cpl’s used color lights along with positions that provided extra safety in case one of the two lamps went out. these signals were located nearly everywhere along the route up until being phased out and replaced by 3 - color lights in the late 2000’s .
the mainline vessels are our largest ships and typically take more than one day to travel between start and end ports, that provide road access. these vessels offer all the amenities needed for passengers who may be onboard overnight or for multiple days. cabins are available for rent and cafes and restaurants offer food for purchase. for the more adventurous, who prefer to travel without a cabin, set up a tent on the upper deck or bring your own sleeping bag for a night or two in the covered, heated solarium. public showers are also available onboard. interior observation lounges and outside decks provide amazing views of the passing landscape .
evidence: our work was focused on analysing the ability of freight operators to deliver excellence in driver management, but more specifically, in key areas of their management maturity in support of driver management techniques. we used rm3 to promote operators' systematic analysis of their management systems to help us identify areas of improvement as well as good practice. we also looked at governance, policy, leadership, securing co - operation, competence and the development of employees at all levels and the planning and implementing of risk controls through co - ordinated management arrangements .

ab663 history the ab locomotives handled all types of services, on main lines, secondary routes and branch lines. until the 1930' s they were the main express and freight locomotive for both islands, and could handle 700 tons on easy grades. many were transferred to the south island from the 1950' s and even as late as the 1960' s, an ab would be used on express workings. ab663 was the first ab to reach auckland, replacing the a class pacific' s on the express train duties and had the honour of hauling the royal train for the prince of wales out of auckland in 1920 .

2te116 locomotive was the next step in the development of the locomotive with four diesel and transmission of variable - dc locomotive engineers for the design of the plant started in august 1970, working drawings arrived in shops in 3 - 4 months, and in the beginning of 1971 - the eve of the opening xxiv congress of the cpsu - locomotive 2te116 - 001 brought to moscow from the donbass coal in surplus to the train. in the design of the locomotive 2te116 been used by many of the previously built locomotives te109 .
power, kw (hp) - 2 * 2250. 6 (2 * 3060) .
the diameter of the wheel rolling circle at sredneiznoshennyh bandages, mm - 1050 .
tractive force continuous operation, kn (tf) - 2 * 255 (2 * 26) .
2te116 locomotive consists of two identical sections odnokabinnyh controlled from one (any) post of the cab and the united sa3 coupler. if necessary, each of the sections can be used as a separate locomotive. to move from section to section in the back of the door and there are sections of the transition area, closed with a rubber souffle. all power and auxiliary equipment located in the body, made from the carrier main frame .
removable roof section with located in these filters allow air to freely seize the main body of the power equipment. spacious and bright cabin, high - performance thermal insulation it from dividing and vestibules create favorable conditions for the locomotive team. the front cab windows with wide safety glass provides a clear path. the cabin is equipped with air conditioning, heating and ventilation installation, speed indicator, alarm and locomotive hitchhiking continuous .
the body of the locomotive to the base frame is designed anew and in contrast to the body of the locomotive te109 full use of railways gauge 1520 mm (1 - t). carts are made according to the type of carriages and locomotives te109 2te10v. reducer of traction motors sided, hard, gear ratio 17: 75 = 1: 4. 412 .
the locomotive has a similar diesel locomotive te109 (1a - 5d49), traction generators (hs - 501a), pathogens (cs - 650), the starter - generator (stg - 5), batteries (68tpzhnk - 250). straightening current setup used uvkt - 5 having in each arm of ten parallel chains, which included two overhead valve 200 - 8 series. the total number of valves to install - 240 diesel generator 1a - 9dg consists of 1a - 5d49 diesel engine and traction generator gs - 501a .
diesel and traction generator mounted on a single engine subframe welded and interconnected semi - rigid plate clutch. over the years, to create a range of diesel engines d49 employs a team of kolomna diesel locomotive plant, headed by chief designer sa abramov (1955 - 1966), merlisom pm (1966 - 1969), ea nikitin (1969 - 2001), who became in 1989 a laureate of the state prize. 5d49 diesel belongs to the uniform number chn26 / 26, which means - a four - turbocharged, bore and stroke of 260 mm. eds - electric remote using the controller installed on diesel four electromagnets receiving power from the controller and the driver are included in various combinations. office of the locomotive driver controller having reversible and the main handle .
the scheme of electric transmission - standard soviet variable - dc also implemented in locomotives tep70, 2te121, tem7 .
after the release of the locomotive №001 voroshilovgradsky plant produced in 1971 two of the locomotive, in 1972 - 19 and 1973 - 23 locomotive. the first locomotives were produced with high roof of the cab, in 1973 it changed to use in locomotives 2te10v. with the locomotive cab №742 changed again. not less than 11 locomotives had 2d70 diesel engines .
in locomotives 2te116 a number of design changes to improve the reliability of individual equipment and find the most suitable for the operation of technical solutions. for example, in locomotives №002, 011, 020, 030, 076 have been installed 2d70 diesel engines with the same parameters, as well as diesel locomotives 2te40. with locomotive number 26 instead of double spring spring group, giving the static deflection of 101 mm were installed trehpruzhinnye sets the static deflection of 126 mm. with the locomotive traction motors instead №052 ed - 107a applied electric ed - 118a, as well as in locomotives 2te10v. rechargeable batteries 68tpzhnk - 250 replaced the battery 48tn - 450. with locomotive instead №026 motor fan cf - 2 puts motor fans mv - 1 reduced from 21. 5 to 18 tilt angle of the blades, and with the locomotive number 043 - motor - fan cf - 11 .
in l ocomotives to number 728 (except number 715, 717, 720, 725) installed diesel generators 1h - 9dg first performance, starting with the number 728 (1982) - the second version (1a - 9dg2) with diesel 1a 5d49 - 2; the latter have a steel crankshafts with counterweights on each cheek, the cylinder block with a flat seam suspension pistons with increased gas - tight, refined oil supply system with two pumps and other improvements .
diesel locomotives to the number 740 was placed joint control 7rs - 2, which had the device for limiting the fuel depending on the charge air pressure and protect the diesel engine at low oil pressure. in locomotives with number 740 on the combined number of 800 was set regulator 3 - 7rs - 2 having a device for limiting the fuel depending on the charge air pressure; in locomotives with number 801 is applied regulator 4 - 7rs - 2, which has also protect diesel engine at low oil pressure .
in 1978 was redesigned body on the trolley poles; applied to the so - called combined support whose lower part is in the form of rollers placed between the baseplate and the upper rubber consists of seven elements. this design supports have also been used in locomotives 2te10v, 2te10m, zte10m, 4te10s .
in 1976 the crane operator' s number 394 and diffuser № 270 - 005 were replaced crane № 395 - 00 - 3 and air diffuser № 483. 000 .
the locomotive number 532 was introduced with compressed air drying; in locomotives with number 759 is used rheostat start motors and compressors oil pumping delayed after stopping the diesel engine. motor edt - 5 to drive the compressor replaced 2p2k motor (37 kw) .
on separate locomotives 2te116 applied design solutions, require verification in an operational environment. thus, the locomotive number 348 traction motors were installed ed - 125 is an advanced type of motor ed - 118a and designed in the future to replace the latter. the locomotive number 465 and 475 are supplied for testing rolled wheel centers. also for testing locomotive number 741 refrigerators have only two motor - fan instead of four in series locomotives. fan wheel diameter of 1600 mm provided with blades used to vary the angle of their installation, depending on the temperature of the working fluid .
the first locomotives 2te116 arrived at the depot bukhara, tyumen, ishim, pechora, and then in sverdlovsk - sorting depot. currently 2te116 locomotives operated on the volga, south - east, october, sverdlovsk railways .
voroshylovgrad factory team headed by the director of the plant turikov na was awarded the right to produce diesel 2te116 with
quality mark

at uz locomotives operated on the south, the dnieper donetsk, south - western railway .
after 1996 lugansk plant produced several locomotives for estonia, uzbekistan and private carriers, as well as the overhaul of the old locomotives, giving them new numbers. after becoming a part of the russian company
transmashholding
resumed deliveries of new locomotives for the railways .
2te116 locomotives are still in good condition, as well as satisfy the most modern requirements. this model has a lot of modifications, modified in accordance with certain aspects .
3 locomotive 2te116m with hydromechanical drive a number of units instead of an electric, as well as with resistance brake released in 1974 - 1975 years .
a feature of the circuitry of the locomotive is to preserve the power of asynchronous three - phase motors of the auxiliary machines and traction generator during braking electric and electric braking mode control using a system of automatic control of braking (sart). the system allows, in particular, automatically maintain the set speed on descents. maximum power at electric braking according vniizht amounted 2553 kw at a speed of 58 km / h .
4 locomotive 2te116, unified with the first
eight - thousanders
2te121, built in 1981 - 1982 gg .
body sections locomotive made by body type locomotives 2te121. they have tselnonesuschuyu design and made of low - alloy steel, removable roof blocks are made of rolled aluminum. separately collected cab mounted in bodies on rubber shock absorbers. the frame body is used as a conduit for supplying air for cooling of electrical machines and the rectifier unit of the total fan (centralized air supply). at the ends of the frame are available niches for battery. placing it in the body is similar to placing it on the locomotive 2te121 .
consists of 3 sections - two diesel (as on a conventional locomotive 2te116) and a cryogenic gasifier. the locomotive used diesel engine generator 1gdg with electronic control, regulation and protection of diesel (skrdz - 3) introduced additional water supply system and gas of the gas equipment, control and protection, alarm, turn on the gas (
shield - 2 - 1
), ventilation elektrootsekov and gas equipment compartment, unhook the diesel remote sections of cryogenic. however, to achieve the calculated power failed .
one utility locomotive 2te116up electropneumatic brake and increased power diesel engine was built in 1996 .
diesel power increased to 3600 hp locomotive equipped with rheostat brake and electric heating system composition. traction unit consists of traction and auxiliary synchronous generators, mounted in a single package. auxiliary generator through a rectifier provides power passenger train 3000 v dc power of 575 kw each section on the nominal mode. tractive force continuous mode 2 * 323 kn (2 * 33 ton), construction speed of 120 km / h .
the locomotive was commissioned by the ministry of railways, but remained in the ukraine. in 2001 it was bought by
linkoyl
and converted into a pure cargo .
more than 50 locomotives for rzd 2te116u poosnogo with traction control and modifications to the cab with the installation of air conditioning, with dynamic braking, with increased power diesel 3600 hp and microprocessor control and diagnostics (msud) was started in 2007 .

this venerable rail line was built and completed by the ohio and mississippi railroad (o & m) in 1855 and later directly connected st. louis, missouri with cincinnati, ohio in 1857. the track was originally constructed as six foot broad gauge but was later converted to standard gauge in 1871. the line became especially valuable during the civil war years; allowing for the transport of goods and supplies as well as west - bound settlers traveling from the east. the railroad also served numerous coal mines that were being developed in the area .
from the early 1970’s until the mid 1980’s, the illinois subdivision was utilized by the chessie system following the mergers of the b & o, c & o and western maryland railroads. the chessie system locomotives of this era were notorious for their extremely colorful, eye - catching paint schemes combined with the now famous “ches - c” logo, which incorporated the outline of c & o’s famous “chessie” kitten’s into the “c” emblem of the railroad’s name. in 1987, the chessie system was absorbed into csx transportation, who then became sole operators of the line .
these upgrades that csx made to the route were in anticipation of additional coal traffic. until around 2010, the illinois sub was frequently used by union pacific coal trains received in interchange to csx in st. louis for points south and east. however with the demise of the coal industry, the extra coal traffic never materialized .
in november 2015, csx formally filed for a discontinuance of service exemption on the illinois subdivision between milepost bc 304 near aviston to milepost bc 327. 9 near caseyville with the u. s. surface transportation board (stb); effective january 2016. the stb is an economic regulatory agency affiliated with the department of transportation for administrative purposes such as having jurisdiction over rail restructuring transactions like mergers, line sales, line construction and line abandonment cases. the discontinuance removes common carrier obligations for this section of the line .
in august 2016, csx filed an additional discontinuance of service exemption from the stb on a further segment of the illinois subdivision line; between milepost bc 244. 7 near flora and milepost 304 near aviston. this officially went into effect in february 2017 .
at this stage, the fate and future of this historic railroad line is uncertain. csx has stated that if traffic levels rebound, the line could be reopened in a relatively short period of time .
no matter what lies ahead for the illinois sub in the future, it’s place in the history of this region will be remembered as being significant. under the o & m and b & o railroads, the line played a major role in the economic development of the communities along it that were founded and settled following its opening in 1857. the majority of these communities owe their existence to this railroad line.
