FOR ACS64 FANS: DOUBLE PANTOGRAPH, MOTOR SOUNDS and a MOTOR TRANSFER | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Good evening all:

The are had a bit of an ice storm today, which gave me a chance to shoot some ASC64s on the Keystone Corridor under a double-pantograph order due to the ice on the catenary. One of them was the 'Saluting Our Veterans' unit. There is more info in each videos 'Info' section. Some are not the greatest quality due to hand shake, which is a typical culprit with videos shot on phones. It was also quite cold, and I could not really feel my fingers as I was trying to focus.

This one was supposed to be a double-pantograph, but apparently the order was lifted around 5pm. I thought they were leaving, but they sat there for 1:20 before leaving. That gave me a chance to record some motor sounds.

The last link is what appears to be a motor transfer to Harrisburg. There were two ASC64s on the point, both powered up. Perhaps one was not loading; I am not sure. This was a surprise, and you can tell my hand was shaking. Sorry about that.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I didn't know that a pantograph could be in contact with the wire and not be taking juice.

Oh, it's taking juice, but is disconnected within the locomotive.
