Stack talk
Просмотров 9096 месяцев назад
60 seconds of idle stack talk from an EMD SW-1 switcher. Pre-war straight block 6-567 from 1939. They were putting Winton 201-A engines in these locomotives only a year prior. Injector racks need adjustment but makes nice sounds.
Watching the controls
Просмотров 3866 месяцев назад
Just two minutes of watching the field contactors and reverser drum in a locomotive during some crew training exercises. Filmed on private non-interchange track outside FRA jurisdiction. Yes, I see the 12 gauge wires tapped off of the battery knife and the open ground relay cutout. They are on the to-do list.
Cleaning out the pipes

Quite literally burning out accumulated carbon, oil and fuel residue in the exhaust manifold of a severely wet-stacked diesel. This was done in the dead of winter with snow on the ground for obvious reasons.

15 minutes of soothing mechanical music produced by an ALCO S4 diesel locomotive.
Waking up a sleepy ALCO 539T after 3 years. S4.
Просмотров 11 тыс.Год назад
Various audio samples taken during attempts at getting an old ALCO S4 to fire up after 3 years of storage. Takes a great deal of cranking and lopey idling on 1-3 cylinders for the old girl to finally fire on all 6. Video was not usable so I inserted some POV photos instead.
EMD 16-567C exhaust note. SD9.

16-567C with 645 power packs. Freshly timed injectors.

Mechanical heart working ❤
Poor old thing wants to go to work, making all that smoke over nothing 😂
This idling sound is around 240rpms. Top speeds of the 539T are around 750rpm. A service manual I once read mentions bore versus stroke was 13" bore X 12" stroke. (L don't believe it to be voce bersa.)
Nice video. Cool to see it running.
What is it powering
Right now it is simply idling. But, it does provide electricity so to power the locomotive's traction motors, all four of them located within its "trucks" below.
The Little Old Engine that Could and Did! I think I can, I think I can, I know I CAN.....now get outta my way and Let's Rock!
I can't lie, I nodded off with the peaceful, relaxing "soundtrack." ALCO at its finest ❤
Music to my ears!!
Well...four's better than none!
Worn-out cam follower pin. You can hear it rattle every time the roller comes off the lobe. Alco 251s had a big prob with those, too
As in the cross-pin through the cam roller?
Absolutely smashing
Dear cameraman…….on a cold start like this always locate the camera to show the stack.
cool video!!
Utterly beautiful music. Multi-layered depth and rhythm.
awsome sound
At first you could hear those giant injectors popping off ! A old mavy diesel man knows it would run ! Just need a little bit of heat on those jugs
EMD 12-567B?
BC IIRCC.
@@heavy-ironYup, has the water jumpers. Still a square holer though.
At my place of work we have a completely unscientific but effective method of checking valve lash passed down from the old heads. You stick your finger underneath the valve bridge when the engine is running and if it very slightly grabs it, you’re good. If it pinches you it needs adjustment.
Nice job and diesel sound!
ALCO 539T 400 rpm+RSD-1(0-6-6-0)+train+railway track, with interchanges and crossings="Bleed".
Veeery good sounds! Really great video! Greetings from Poland!
" Isn't there another, better engine you guys want to crank on? WHY ME?! GO AWAY!
Super. Some of the cold starts that I have seen on RUclips were like this. 💙 T.E.N.
What a waste of 10 minutes.
Better than listening to Taylor Swift!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yet, you watched.😅
Only if you don’t like the sights and sounds of ALCO Locomotives…
And what an utterly pointless and unhelpful comment.
@@NejMoss4873 better then going to ANY social venue and listening to people
She got some horse power
The 70 ton on the E. St. L J RR was the same on winter mornings.
Tthat's exactly how I felt THIS morning! Dont blame ya old girl!
Had a V16 Alco on the LASH ALANTICO as second generator.
When I was growing up in Denver CB&Q, D&RGW, and UP all ran these engines.
Classic large bore inline 4 cycle engine.
😂 real tired 😴
Rectangle crankcase covers?
Straight 567. Prewar. 1939. Wintons were discontinued only a year or so prior in early 1938. So yes. Square covers, mechanical shutdown, pneumatic throttle, the whole nine yards.
@@heavy-iron Nice rare engine
Thank you giving us the sounds of the machine without stupid music in the background like so many others
Pure ASMR... I could fall asleep to this wonderful sound
Still a small number of ALCo's running in Australia, mostly "World Series" DL531's and a small number of DL541's plus DL500G and CE615 (MLW), slowly disappearing into the sunset they are. Plenty of video on my site of anyone interested under 48, 45, 44, 442 and 80 class. Great clip, enjoyed it.
I love this, been a long time since I’ve heard that sound. Very few left in running condition. I remember seeing S2s working on the Chestnut Ridge Railroad and at the New Jersey Zinc facilities in Palmerton, PA. Also had an up close experience with CNJ 1067, also an S2 working on old Lehigh and New England trackage in Nazareth, PA in 1972. Became friends with the old L&NE crews so I got a short ride while they drilled cars in town. BTW what’s the heritage of the loco and where was this located? On another note a former L&NE S2 #611 is being restored locally by a group. It’s the only surviving L&NE diesel locomotive that I know of. Thanks for the memories.
Several of my wife’s family members worked in Schenectady building these. I’m an engineer on a railroad which had mostly Alcos back in the day, and her grandfather used to tell me stories about building these.
Ah my favorite time after doing spark bins
Guess the fashion now is to make engines scream and roll coal, but I've always been more impressed with one purring along smoothly and quietly. Not a thing wrong with this baby, ticking over like a watch and purring like it came out of the plant yesterday. These old Alcos are great, have got some real character to them when they're running.
