I have no clue what the RRHMA is, but looking at the turnout they should consider more promotion next go around 😜

It’s just 2 engines permanently attached to themselves. Which the railroads quickly realized was a bad idea

I will begin working at illinois masonic hospital soon.

My GOODNESS, she’s gorgeous!🤩

I thought the centennial 6936 went out of service?

What an awesome piece of machinery. It’s massive!

A Dodo. Flange wear would have been terrible and lots of fun at points.

being the biggest, it still has the same horsepower as a ge?

I wanted to see the cars it was pulling.

Is it kinda like welding two locomotives together? Wouldn’t it have been easier and cheaper to just use two separate locomotives coupled together than to build this expensive monstrosity?

that loco was an abject failue, the 4 axle trucks would walk the rail on anything but a gentle curve, they were close to 100ft long, 2 -3khp motors, if 1 failed the other fell on its face. terrible in yards, mainline power only

What a beautiful locomotive, that engine blows anything ge ever built right out of the water.

We want to hear the engine, not the bell ! For bells I'm going to church 😂

But a Big Boy IS a completely different calibre;Europeans Electric Locomotives have even more Power and travel at 250 km/h.Thats true, You welcome😮

Not small is it?

So two made into one..

TAKES HALF THE VIDEO TO PULL IN THE STATION-----------BAD VIDEO---TAKES HALF THE VIDEO TO PULL IN THE STATION ---TAKES HALF THE VIDEO TO PULL IN THE STATION

Nice job on video.

Has the the second DD40X been started on restoration yet

Thanks, teamsters.

Why is the world’s biggest diesel pulling three passenger cars?

Great Video Thank You Trains Are Work Horses! Muscle Behind Rustle! And Thanks Too Railroad Industry Women and Men Godspeed!

Bigger is not always better, case in point that huge over weight rolling stock acellerates infrastructure damage to ballast, joints, turnouts, rails & bridges. That's why Europe runs lighter rolling stock.

USA USA

How is this better than the old "cow & calf" engine pairs?

This viewer is always looking for new ways to travel to the next Ms. Angelina Jordan's next magical Jazz & Pop Music Concert.!!! Yes.!!!

Given that this is essentially a two part vehicle, I'd like to introduce you to the SBB Re10/10 double traction electric locomotive of 11,597 hp at up to 140 km/hr.

could have been half as long video with the same out come

' just wonder how many trailers without loads a train 6936 can pull

Man oh man. Thats one BIG BOY !!

TO USA RAILWAY , IT SHOULD 50 , 000 HP DIESEL TRAIN ENGINE . - AVY ✨

Look at those Foamers foaming lol

They did a lot of work on it since I saw it last. When I saw it it looked like it was ready for the scrap yard

Centennial series locomotives built ca. 1969 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the driving of the golden spike. When I was in the air force, I did some temporary duty at Nellis AFB near Las Vegas around 1981 or so. There was a long line of these Centennial locomotives in storage on a siding just outside of the city. Very impressive locos.

In Europe , the strongest single unit diesels , had app. 4000 hp

Totally cool!!!!!

That bell! 😡

AWESOME!! I didn’t think I’d ever see one of those units in motion. Thanks for posting!

I've ridden a UP excursion train from Denver to Cheyenne and return that was pulled by one of these locomotives, known as "Centennials" by Union Pacific. I believe UP has - or had - a total of 11 of these. 6,600 HP. I believe all of them are now retired from regular service.

DDA40X

Vote Trump

wow. being in Roanoke, Virginia a N&W spot ive seen alot of trains thru years wether i wanted to or not lol. that's the longest engine ive seen. i imagine it's wild to see in person

This is the LongCat of diesel locos.

I have a couple of O scale models of these. At about 2 feet long, they're a trifle awkward to carry. Bought a non-powered unit to accompany the powered one. It was so heavy I bought _another_ powered unit to help schlep it around. Having all three running together...Tim Allen would approve 😁

There’s one at Portola California rail museum you can get up close and personal with it

hol' up ain't that choo choo basically the " BIG BOY " of the diesel era?

Very impressive with its two GM two-stroke V-16 diesels, each about 10,645 cubic inches and 3,300 hp each.

Let me get the story straight, UP had this built then realized it was to expensive to operate? Never see it pulling freight cars on RUclips.

It kind of looks like a 70ace got impaled with 40-2

I had a real high end ho scale model of this baby as a kid.....man i wish id have known.......
