Long Empty Train Headed For The Masvingo Branch Line

#ZimbabweRailways #Zimbabwe #GT22 #AfricaRailways Recently GT22s (DE10A) have started to venture on the branch line pulling CAR & CFR type wagons to be loaded with the chrome at Lalapansi. The Masvingo branch line has very light rail about 20kgm. This means a huge locomotive like a GT22 is heavy for those rails and it can only travel at very slow speeds to avoid coming off the tracks. Hopefully next time I will be able to catch it on the actual branch line. --------------------------------------------------- Uses of Chrome The chromium extracted from chromite is used in chrome plating and alloying for production of corrosion resistant superalloys, nichrome, and stainless steel. Chromium is used as a pigment for glass, glazes, and paint, and as an oxidizing agent for tanning leather. It is also sometimes used as a gemstone. ---------------------------------------------------- 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.
