Me bored at work on the 36 class locomotive... How I love nightshift
Ready for the day's work... and what a day it was!! 
Ah, you have Amps and Volts in there too! And BOGIES....what are those?
Lol yep
this is a 18E electric locomotive.. it basicaly has 4 traction motors driving 4 wheel sets and its paired into 2 bogies... so a bogie would have 2 traction motors conected with 2 wheel sets.. those guages show me the amps im pulling when in motion and the volts the traction motors are getting when im in a series/paralell or rheostatic motion
Oh and speaking of volts and amps... this locomotive is running on 3000 volts DC... max current draw on the bogies according to the meter is 600 amps.. 1 of these locomotives pull about 700 tons of load.. heavyest 1 locomotive can pull on a level surface is about 3250 tons..
This is what they look and sound like

Nostalgic....nothing as soothing as the sound of the wheels on the rails.
