Notch 8 Series - Zimbabwe Railways DE10A 1040 Tackles The Gradient With A Full Dinger

#ZimbabweRailways #Zimbabwe #GT22 #AfricaRailways Scouting for a better angle close to the flyover I heard an incoming train and then saw smoke and knew It was going to put on a show as it starts its climb of about 2km. Enjoy the sounds of a hard working 645! -------------------------------------------------- Portland cement clinker - Overview Portland cement clinker is a dark grey nodular material made by heating ground limestone and clay at a temperature of about 1400 °C - 1500 °C. The nodules are ground up to a fine powder to produce cement, with a small amount of gypsum added to control the setting properties. This page gives a thumbnail sketch. For more information see the following pages, or better still, the Understanding Cement book - links at the bottom of this page. Portland cement clinker contains four principal minerals: Alite: approximately tricalcium silicate (typically about 65% of the total) Belite: approximately dicalcium silicate (typically about 15% of the total) Aluminate: very approximately tricalcium aluminate (typically about 7% of the total) Ferrite: very approximately tetracalcium aluminoferrite (typically about 8% of the total) The balance is made up of alkali sulfates and minor impurities. The typical mineral contents shown are subject to wide variation. ---------------------------------------------------- LOCOMOTIVE GENERAL PARTICULARS - DE10A (GT22LC-2) Max Starting Tractive Effort at 25% Adhesion 231 kN Actual Tractive Effort, Continuous at 22.8 km/h 206 kN Design Tractive Effort, Continuous at 22.8 km/h 230 kN Max Running Speed 107 km/h Gross Power 1,678 kw Tractive Power 1,575 kw Total Mass of Locomotive 94.35 tonne Max Axle Load 15.725 tonne Lubricating Oil Capacity 806 litres Fuel Capacity 6,057 litres Sandboxes 4 per loco Total Capacity 0.377 m3 Bogies: 6 driven Axles Wheels 965 mm dia Axleboxes Roller Bearings Gear Ratio 58:15 Loco Numbers: U.S.A. 1001 ~ 1035 Canadian 1036 ~ 1061 ---------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2019 Zimbabwe Railways.
