Mopac C36-7's in Estonia - August 2021 (Polski Sub)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- In today’s video we visit Estonia and check up on the (Ex - Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific) C36-7 loco’s. These locomotives keep charging on to this day, with their new owner being “Operail” having no plans on retiring them anytime soon. (Estii Raudtee dispanded in 2018 dividing the rail freight transport from the infrastructure group).
These engine’s were brought to Estonia by Ed Burkhardt’s Rail World, to replace the old, run down and failed 2M62 and M62 Class diesel’s built by the Woloszynowgrad Locomotive Works (Lugansk Locomotive Works after the fall of the USSR in 1991) in the 1970’s - 80’s. The C36-7 wasn't the only type of six axle GE’s to be exported to Estonia. 19 former Conrail C30-7’s we’re exported there as well, but in 2008 all of the 19 units retired by the Estonian Railways, cause of the engines being as well run down by Conrail.
Ed Burkhardt owned Estii Raudtee (Which was part of Rail Word). He aswell owned and Created Wisconsin Central, Rail Polska and in the UK, he owned the EWS Rail Company. You will find more information in the video I narrated myself :)
If I sound like an underage person in this video I DEEPLY apologize. I do not sound like this in real life. Not only that am I grown adult and for some reason my voice is still maturing…
Join Us as we Trainspot these historic foreign GE’s in a foreign land. This is the: “Mopac C36-7s in Estonia” (August 2021)
Enjoy this video!

W dzisiejszym filmie odwiedzamy Estonię i „wpadamy na odwiedziny” do amerykańskich lokomotywy serii C36-7 (Ex - Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific). Lokomotywy te jeżdżą do dziś, a ich nowym właścicielem jest „Operail”, który nie planuje ich wycofania w najbliższym czasie. (Estii Raudtee rozpadł się w 2018 r. dzieląc kolejowy transport towarowy z grupy infrastrukturalnej).
Lokomotywy te zostały sprowadzone do Estonii przez firmę Rail World Eda Burkhardta, aby zastąpić stare, wysłużone i niesprawne diesle serii 2M62 i M62 budowane przez Wołoszynowgradskie Fabryka Lokomotyw (Ługańska Fabryka Lokomotyw po upadku ZSRR w 1991 r.) w latach 70. - 80. . C36-7 był nie jedynym typem sześcioosiowych lokomotyw General Electric eksportowanych do Estonii. 19 sztuk byłych lokomotyw Conrail serii C30-7 również były eksportowane, ale w 2008 roku wszystkie 19 egzemplarzy zostały wycofały z Estońskich Kolei, z powodu tego, że lokomotywy zostały również zajechane przez Conrail w latach ich świetności.
Ed Burkhardt był właścicielem Estii Raudtee (które było częścią Rail Word). Był również właścicielem i twórcą Wisconsin Central, Rail Polska, a w Wielkiej Brytanii był właścicielem EWS Rail Company. Więcej informacji znajdziesz w filmie, który sam opowiedziałem ;)
Jeśli w tym filmie brzmię jak osoba niepełnoletnia, GŁĘBOKO przepraszam. Nie brzmię tak w prawdziwym życiu. Nie dość, że jestem już dorosłą osobą iz jakiegoś powodu mój głos wciąż dojrzewa…
Dołącz do nas, na Spottingu tych historycznych zagranicznych lokomotyw GE w obcym kraju. To jest „Mopac C36-7 w Estonii” (sierpień 2021)

: C36-7 Updates:
Update: January 2023
As of writing this, there have been speculations going around about the owner of these ancient GE's going bankrupt.
Sadly this fact is true...
Operail is going bankrupt and will most likely be erased from the face of Estonia by the end of this month.
Operail has lost a major rail contract involving transporting oil from Russia / Belarus to the ports in Tallinn and Padilski. This contract has been rewarded to Latvia's LDZ Cargo with them transporting now 57% of the trains in Estonia. Smaller private operators in the mentioned country for example GoRail have also taken over some segments of Estonia's freight service with Operail barely moving anything since the start of the War in Ukraine.
The oil transport contract has been given to LDZ Cargo mainly for one reason Operail has denied the transport of oil in tank Cars of Russian / Belarusian origin. And because of that, the company has lost a big margin of money and with this, another "Fallen Flag" will most likely be written into the history books.
What Will Happen to the GE's?
From what I've been talking with friends from Estonia, they say that they'll be most likely taken over by another carrier, some say scrap, some say long-term storage. Until Operail doesn't go bankrupt, we won't know the answer to this question. One thing is certain the rebuilt Conrail C30-7A's now C30-M's will still be running.
I wish luck to the company and its workers for the future and hopefully, things will change for the better 👍
Update: 11.03.23 / 03.11.23
Only 3 C36-7i left running in Estonia. The end is near ladies and gents!
Update! 08/05.23
6 C36'-7s have been reactivated! Operail regained half of its margin of the freight contract. They have started to transport goods in freight cars of Russian origin again. We'll just have to wait and see what will happen when Putin decides to do something stupid again....
Update: 11.25.23
Per a friend from Estonia via Instagram. The C36-7's fate has been sealed. They are destined for the scrapper's torch. With the Lithuanian LTG Cargo now coming into the Estonian Market, this will be the final blow for Estonia's operation. I've talked with a couple of friends about the fact that there is a chance to save one for preservation.
HAHAHA
No
Rail preservation in Estonia practically does not exist. It is safe to say that the era of the GEs in Estonia is over.
P.S
I wish I could buy off the Leslie's Horns and GE Bells lol
Update: 11.28.23
36 C36-7i's have been sold for scrap. They will be transported to the scrappers soon. 21 remain in Operail' roster

Update: 01.21.2024
THE SCRAPPING HAS BEGUN!
The first 8 out of 36 - C36-7' are in the process of being scrapped in Tapa behind the Operail shops.
Yesterday on the 20th of January 2024 - C36-7i #1520 departed Muuga's Freight Yard with C36-7' #1530, #1510, #1515, #1550, #1525, #1548, #1557, #1534, #1506 & 13 Freight cars bound for Padilski. The mentioned C36-7 were en route to Padilski for scrap.
MAJOR NOTE:
21 Units will remain in the Operail fleet in operable condition. Currently, 9 are active. 12 are in storage. There isn't a big enough volume of traffic to keep up maintaining these units hence why many of them are heading for scrap. But the C36-7 era in Estonia won't last for long cause Operail tested two of their C30-M locos for mainline freight service recently and the tests were successful. It is only a matter of time before the C36-7' will be replaced completely. Let us wait and see what the future will give us.
If you're reading this and you always wanted to head to Estonia just to catch these beats. Do it now before it is too late. With the war in Ukraine and Russian politics still being little b*tch boys. It is very unlikely traffic will rise again. Time will only show.

Something big is coming onto this channel in 2024!
As of 7/10/23, the operail locomotives are still running
F
Ok with this news, MEGA F to pay respecrs
I never knew they exported the u-boats. How cool. Thank you so much for this footage.
Why did they put air whistles on the c36-7s locomotives
@surplusgear3545
It's obligatory in every former Soviet Puppet State. Think of it as the Bell used on US Engines but used as a horn.
Do they still have their rs3l horns
@@marcleslac2413 Yes they do. Although many of them have SP Nathan P3's.
3:54 rs3l are beauties
@marcleslac2413
Can't agree with you more
Stark contrast to the soviet air whistles and european horns.
Do these c36-7s still have their bells
@erro_xred3746
Yeah they do :)
Hey! You mentioned you went to the Tapa depot for a tour. I would love to visit, how do you get permission to go there?
Piękny materiał i super się ogląda z Twoim lektorem , nie wiem czego chcesz od głosu bo właśnie bardzo dobry jest 👍🙂
Rewelacyjny jak i ciekawy materiał, wielki 👍 się należy 🙂💪
18:24 a little correction, this is a akron fertilizer train headed to Muuga.
And I thought Brazil was Florida for old GE locomotives
GE's sounding great. Good edit.
👍 Świetna produkcja, zasługująca na miano małego dokumentu.
I saw these when I visited Estonia
A to ciekawe- w Estonii amerykańskie lokomotywy zastąpiły M62, które w Polsce prywata wręcz kocha i ściąga za wschodniej granicy kolejne.
@TSZSpotter
Bierz jeszcze pod uwagę że faktycznie ściągają z za granicy Gagariny. Ale je natychmiast modernizują po tym jak wjedzie na teren Pesy. Z tego co mi wiadomo, tylko 3 byłe M62 kolei Estońskich jeżdżą w Polsce z 14D40. Reszta to już zmodernizowano, albo siedzą we Włoszczowicach na terenie Rail Polski zbierając rdzę do kolekcji.
@@lhsboyproductions3446 Panie, pomyłka- nie we Włoszczowicach tylko we Włosienicy :) Uznajmy, że chochlik Ci się wkradł.
4:20 is that a horn? If so sounds weak.
@Mansfield_Depot_Connecticut_Rail_Productions
No it's a air whistle. All rail vehicles that run in Russia, and all vehicles in the former USSR puppet states, require to have at least 2 sets (Or 1) of horns on both ends, and 1 air whistle on both ends as well. But that depends if the engine has a cab on both sides.
@@lhsboyproductions3446 thanks for explaining bud
