I was there but this appears to have been about the time I left for lunch! Great catch

If I may make a correction, the National Weather Service report for Spencer, NC for the third lists the high for the day as 95F, rather than 106F.
|
The forcast was that, but with the heat index & the humidity, the weather on the ground was 106F
|
Glad NS took the time to make sure things broke down when it was the PC units turn, very authentic!
|
Having lived near the PC mainline growing up, it would've been more authentic if the PC unit was derailed...

Humidity does not affect the temperature of steel. The heat index is how the temperature feels to humans, not to rails or locomotives. Regardless, the photo is a very nice action shot with the sparks flying off of the cut and the full complement of supervisors looking on!

Excellent image and probably the best unit to have in the background to capture the sparks flying!

Nice shot! I find it appropriate that maintenance is being performed in front of the PC engine!
|
I was there and I'd say 106 sounds about right, especially in the sun.
