    Sorry to hear the passing of Timothy West today - he was absolutely hateful in this drama - yet not in real life - which shows what a decent actor he was.

    Love how loud and powerful diesel locomotives are. I don’t think people fully understand the pure power that these engines have.

    It looks as though Paul McGann is actually playing the piano, does it not? Talented!

    • @ricowilko
      @ricowilko 3 месяца назад

      Pianist here. He does play the piano an sing to it in an earlier episode of a pub song with simple chords but he is not playing the piano for this song. The arrangement is far more intricate and is actually accurate to the original sheet music. Also, for production reasons the voice would need to be recorded separately to the piano to get the correct mix. Great song though and excellently sung by McGann.

  • @kro0014
    @kro0014 3 года назад

    The math doesn’t add up. I guarantee, you will not start up 15k ton on a 2% grade in throttle 4. This train has 3 60’s, maybe a pusher set? But not 15k.

      Indeed. It's a pity most people think they're hearing the turbo. That's the main generator.

    • @westernrailroadvideos99
      @westernrailroadvideos99 8 лет назад

      That's the main generator, not the turbocharger.

    • @keithode1737
      @keithode1737 7 лет назад

      No, it's the main generator making that whining sound. Turbos don't sound like giant electric motors wound up to 900 RPM, which is what you're hearing. That "ying ying ying ying ying" sound you hear when an EMD is at idle is the turbo engaging it's clutch. Either way, you wouldn't hear the turbo over the traction motor blower in run-8.

    • @keithode1737
      @keithode1737 8 лет назад

      That's the main generator, not the traction motors.

    • @keithode1737
      @keithode1737 7 лет назад

      No. The AR10 main generator/traction alternator on 710 powered EMDs is loud as fuck. Foamy foamers keep thinking that whine is the turbo, bit it's not. Turbos don't sound like that under full load. Besides, how would you be able to hear the radiator cooling fans over the sound of the exhaust, main generator and traction motor blower from the back of the cab? Oh that's right, you couldn't.

  • @rob066101
    @rob066101 13 лет назад

    These EMD locomotives do sound great. Especially at notch 8 with the humming sound of the generator.

    • @keithode1737
      @keithode1737 7 лет назад

      Seriously. Tell these morons it's not the damn turbo. They forget the 'electric' part of 'diesel electric'.

    • @douglasskaalrud6865
      @douglasskaalrud6865 2 года назад

      ​@@keithode1737 It's not the generator. The sound is from the roof-top infinite speed radiator fans which ramp up from the thermal load. How to tell? Easy. When the load is taken off the engine the sound stays the same. That's because the cooling water is still hot after the engine slows down so the sound diminishes very slowly. If it was the generator that sound would die instantaneously which it does not.

    @themanfromvan I compare weights to things I know. Eg a car is about 1 to 3 tons, Truck 10 to 15 tons. I couldnt comprehend 23,500 tons. So I googled for things I could compare it to. That load you pulled was exactly half the weight of the Titanic =O . I know it depends on speed, but anyone any idea roughly for a particular speed, how many miles it would take a train with that load to halt on an emergency stop ?

    I am a Locomotive Engineer. Yesterday I brought a train into Vancouver, B.c, that was 12 500 feet long and it was 23 500 tons. Two units on the head end and one in the middle. They don't get much longer or heavier than that any where on the planet.
