Some old locos like this have a transition lever for the traction motors and the engine has to be idled down before changing the lever. Kinda like a 4 speed manual in a way
We had this type of locomotive in New Zealand but on 3 axle A-1-A trucks. These were the DA class with the 12-567 engine. From memory they were 1,425 hp. Awesome to hear them working hard up a long grade. Apart from a few preserved locomotives they were all rebuilt in to the DC class with the 12-645 engine in the 1980's. neat sound
In Queensland Australia, we had the 1400 & 1450 Class that were identical except that the 1400 Class was A1A & the 1450 were co-co. Same Prime Mover as the one shown here. Awesome Sounding Loco!!.
@@fedegonzalez4378 Both yes and no, 567 Had both Roots blowers and Turbochargers, The turbocharged version was much more popular in Norway and Sweden, As for this T42 locomotive i do belive it has a roots blower
The EMD 12-645E 12 cylinder (roots supercharged) sounds almost the same. A great sound at full throttle. It makes modern locomotives sound like whispers.
One would think with a load like this they would have added a couple more diesel units to handle a train like this. More diesel units would also offer a greater air supply too/
small but powerful locomotives. in mexico existed with the series 58's shame that in our country are not interested in preserving the heritage and less rail, everything is for sale or scrap. Few are concerned. greetings from Mexico.

Is that the one that was given for free to the Swedish SJ as a demonstrator sometime back in the 1950's? If I remember it right, SJ tried it but decided that it wasn't the kind of traction power they were looking for and it was left to rust away somewhere in Sweden (Vislanda?) until it was shipped over to Norway. The Norwegians restored it and use it as a museum locomotive nowadays, right?
Halfway correct. It was in service in Sweden for a few decades, and then when it was taken out of service, sold/donated to a Norwegian enthusiast group, who restored it, operated it in Norway for around 15 years until the Swedish railway museum bought it back. And the SJ class 41, which they bought quite a few of, was based on the G12, mechanically almost identical, just with a cabin more suitable for Sweden than the US style on the G12. So it was indeed what they looked for, just slightly redesigned. The swedes also built lots of the round-nose locomotives with the same EMD tech for Norway, Denmark, Hungary etc.
The only thing I dont understand is why the engineer keeps changing the throttle, with that much weight he should keep the throttle in the same position in order to keep the power up
The GP15's are the MP15 high hood equivalent. I don't know if EMD actually made a true MP15 high hood. Since EMD does make export locomotives i guess there had to be an equivalent unit with most of the mechanical components based on the MP15 but the body of the car is different. A great American example is the F40C is an SD40-2 with a wide body and slightly smaller fuel tank than most SD40-2's. About 15 wears ago i saw a locomotive under a blue tarp that was in transit in the railyard. The shipping paperwork taped to the engineer's rear cab door window said in part, "going to port (on the east coast) to country (cant remember) export model XXXX". I also remember the carbody was different and the trucks and other stuff from the walkway on down was slightly different but, it has a 710 series engine which makes it in my mind an SD70.
Not even close. The 12-645s do NOT thunder the same way. I know because I used to live minutes away from Morris Park Yard in Queens and sometimes would see a MP15AC in action. I even heard one just idling at Notch 8 for the longest time and it wasn't this bad...although loud
1:05 It still wears its EMD demonstrator colors!
Sounded like an old cabover with a 8V71 Detroit in it shifting a 6+4 spicer! Love GM 2 stroke diesels no matter the size!
What a glorious sound, sounds like a v8 mack or scania
I was thonk this me too. 😂😂😂
12-567c
Almost sounded like he shifted gears lol

@@TheBeeMan1994 Do you have a video clip of someone doing that from the cab?

That has to be the best, the absolute best, 567 throttle up I have ever heard. That was amazing, great capture, fav'd and will watch again and again.

That has to be the best sounding G12 on the planet....I have happy ears!! Sweet!!
The 12-cylinder version of the 567 has got to be one of the best sounding non-turbo diesels ever made.
it is a 2 stroke 12 cylinder diesel electric engine with electric motors made by GM, we have old machines still running in srilanka 1955 models. M2 d.
It is turbocharged tho
@@norwegiannationalist7678 the g12 has roots blower not a turbo charger

It’s a Roots Blower, supercharger, not a turbocharger
Listen to the great power of the 567. Someone should keep making them Brian from Canada.

Omg that load of heavy cargo, the engine is really working at max there. Great sound!
Nice to see her still hauling freight!
My gawd, this must be one of the best (maybe THE best) locomotive sound I've ever heard! Many thanks for this.
Heading to the Ikea factory.
Vilket härligt ljud👏👏😀
Wonderful Sound !

Would limit the damage from all that thrashing, that's for sure!
Scania V8 with I-shift 😁😁
My best friend, It's always great. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
Essa G12 é fenomenal. Tem um ronco do motor muito bonito.
almost sounds like custom exhaust..lol
Sounds like it has a jake brake :)

Excellent 👍👍👍
That's quite the ask for an old 1950's loco
Sounds like a manual gearbox :p
Sick, best 567 thrash ever!
It oddly sounded like it was catching gears climbing the grade.
Sound kinda like Scania V8.

Awesome video!

Sounds badass

That's, a lot of wood..
Fedt fedt fedt, tak for videon :o) *****
Sounds like a Peterbilt
Big sound !!!!!
Sounding like detroit truck
COOL!!
i dont remember 567's sounding this throaty! does it have a damaged exhaust?
This locomotive doesn't have a sound muffler/silencer. Or it may be something else.
Gammhärka gammdieseln! Gissar att entusiasten vid 0:58 är halvirriterad över flinten som cyklar förbi! :S
Wow...he needs more power
It sounds pissed! Lol
É só eu que tive a impressão que ele veio empilhando dê marcha???😅😅
Sounds tough as fk
Sounds like a YaMZ-238, KrAZ-255/256/257/258 engine
We have the same in NZ but modified cabs and with a 645
That’s a G22AUR model. Yes rebuilt from the G12 but it does have its own model designation
we have the same thing in victoria, we call it the T class. edit: nevermind the T class is the G8
FOO listen to the power

Bästa musiken!
Is he snatching gears in that thing ?? Thing sounds sweet, never heard one of these.
what? a 5-foot gear stick would be needed.
Sounds like manual transition to me.
It's all electric. The Diesel engine is just generating electricity
is this the 12 - cylinder version??
yes
Heavy logs.
Awesome . . . I always think when the engine is working that hard something has to give!
🇸🇪👍🏻
Hi, is this unit still in service?
Yes
The only thing I dont understand is why the engineer keeps changing the throttle, with that much weight he should keep the throttle in the same position in order to keep the power up
Same here! I wonder too ??
@@MrMurrekatt maybe he was just showing off
Probably due to wheel slip or traction motor time limits at a specific current draw.
Diesel Power
Is this is turbo or non turbo 567
its a roots blower emd 567
Sound of helicopter .
sounds more like an MP15 AC to me.
Your right... it does.

Incredibly stupid title.
whats so stupid about it
@@voidjavelin23 your diesel engine is throttle equiped?
