Videos of Trains

It just occurred to me today that today's locomotives are driven by an independent electric motor on each drive wheel. The electricity for these motors is produced by on-board generators. I am sure that they produce a large amount of electro-magnetic disturbance.

The magnetic field around Diesel Electric Locomotives is big and they use huge traction motors with VA loads that are jaw dropping. I was an Electronics Tech with the Railroad and getting within 50' of a locomotive is asking for a com link disruption. When trackside in the RR truck, the screen on the laptop would rock and roll bobbing like a boat on waves as the locomotives passed by. There is a lot of wind turbulence around the entire length of the train, especially around container double stacks, they can suck you in.
