Nice to know some of our old InterCity locomotives still runs around the world. They used them on the DSB InterCity service at 140Km/h when I grew up (70´is)! The whisling sound of the engines when caling at a station was like music.
I live in a travel trailer in an industrial park 40 feet from the tracks.. some of the long heavily loaded trains go by hammer down heading out of town.. you can feel the exhaust pressure of every cylinder firing.. you can also see the effects on the pages of my calendar which vibrate in sync with the pistons.. it's just as cool now I'm 50 as it was when I was a little kid..
These are impressive locos! Sixteen of the MZ series III locos made it over here to Australia a between 2006 and 2008, all run still by Independent Rail. They sound so awesome!
An Australian railway company (Independent Rail) bought I believe 16 MZ units from Denmark. After a little work and a paint job they are running around the Standard gauge lines from Newcastle to Melbourne. These locomotives are not bad for 3000HP units.

I don't know if I misunderstand you.He isn't saying that the train was struggling. He's saying that the locomotive doesn't seem to have trouble pulling such a heavy train, and that it is just as powerful as an American train is. It's a compliment to your trains.
@CMI1986X64 well in Germany the trains are also shorter than in the US, but the reason here is the partly very high frequency of trains, on some trackes they run the possible maximum of trains, every few minutes a train is passing. And another reason is that they are very fast (normally faster than in the US,), they often run also on highspeed tracks which are normally used by e.g. the InterCityExpress
For those of you not in the know. That is an SD40-2 with a forein carbody on the top. The same can be said for the SD70 with the 710 series engine. EMD and GE do make SD40-2's and etc. with or without North American carbody styles for other countries. I personaly have seen a foreign unit under a blue tarp with a 710 series engine. The great tipoff for me was it had SD40-2 trucks and a lower carbody than usual. I just had to take a look under that tarp because i knew it had to be foreign.
Well to be honest I am advocate for railway electrification and was happy to see that this line is indeed electrified. I am marine engineer. Thus I work around marine diesels. I have been watching diesel locomotives for their medium speed generator sets (essentially most 'diesel' locomotives are run by medium speed diesel generator sets producing up to 600V/0Hz) for traction motors on bogies. Hence other than few diesel hydraulic locos, vast majority of so-called 'diesel' locos are actually diesel-electric, they simply generate their own 600VDC potential onboard. (Electric locos are rolling step-down transformers and rectifiers, with control units, as well as auxilliary needs, such as lighting, air compression, electronics, etc). Now, many larger ships have multiple motor generator sets for internal power production whilst underway (generally 480V/50-60Hz in MW). This in addition to one or more M/Es (main engines). Scandinavian countries has great deal of electrification as with rest of Europe and Japan.
IKEA is located in Sweden, this is Norway. The timber goes to biomass production. Some of this ends up in toothpaste, and even in the vanilla ice cream. Many products derived from timber. No tables or chairs this time.
@JohnBee76 So lucky you are. It does not run so often around here. The track is designed for electric locomotives. This is a private company, which has several diesel locomotives, which operate here now and then.
@JohnBee76 I live in Australia and I see them on 234 cars. Unfortunately the 336 car trains don't happen any more but I did get some on tape before they finished.
Thank you for sharing this video I love the sound engine's working hard keep sending the videos doesn't make any difference which country they are In, sounds great to me.
Some of these old MZ's have made their way to NSW, Australia, and are in regular freight service here. Got the chance to have a peek in the cab of one a while back, all the instrumentation and labelling is still in Danish!
Here in Norway we have our cars running just fine themself up the mountains, so we don't need em to be driven by trains... But lumber, it doesn't move uphill much...
FULLY LOADED HIGH POWERED DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE AT FULL THROTTLE UP A STEEP INCLINE. THE STRAIN ON THE ENGINE MUST BE INTENSE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKEN BRUTAL !
I thought that puppy was haulin' ass with the load it was pulling. Nice sound, but she sure didn't sound like she was struggling to get up the hill. By North American standards, that was a whisper. I'd say that pound for pound, that engine matches equipment we use in North America.
Nice, but it's just not the same as it would be if you were on the engine. Rode on a pair of MP-15's once, while helping an out-of-route coal train up a hill. T-Bone ramped her up to #8 & threw the switch for transition, and those engines started to cry... first time they had been under full load for any length of time in several months. All the built up carbon started to burn out of those engines, and for about three miles we looked like a huge fireworks fountain with six feet of flame blowing past the spark arresters. Traffic on the road parallel to us was pulling to the side in order to watch. I loved riding the thunder during my railroad days. Probably why my hearing is getting so poor now...
Hærlig lyd mann!! hatt ett noen slike oppi distriktet her også. gikk nå'n Petersons, over røros bana, tøfft og høre, når dem kommer på full guff i motbakkene. :) Takk for att du delte med oss! :D
this is in norway come to america are trains are so loud when there full throttle u can here them for miles they are so powerfull and loud when they pass by slowly they still shake the crap out your car..its insane...
Well, it weighs in at 116 metric tonnes and has 6 axles, so it does have a fair bit of traction, especially once it gets up to speed - It's listed as having 390 kN (88,000 lbf) traction force. Though I am not sure if that's enough for that load. That said, it is indeed a diesel/electric train, so it could be either way, it depends on the carriages.

Yes. I saw them as kid boarding a ferry at nyborg when I was on holyday in Danmark. Love the heavy sound. Best sounding dieselloc ever

Very cool. Trains really are ridiculously powerful machines.
The best video I've ever seen that shows the brute force of these engines, amazing!
These are impressive locos! Sixteen of the MZ series III locos made it over here to Australia a between 2006 and 2008, all run still by Independent Rail. They sound so awesome!
Fed video Jack, herlig lyd :)
unbelievable. that engine is incredible! i bet your chest hurt after that pass. beautiful sound. diesels have the best sound in the world.
By US standards, that thing was quiet. I work two blocks away from the main line in town and even old SD-40s will make the floor shake.
This engine IS essentially an SD40, same engine block
WoW that puppy is Haulin' Freight! I expected to see a pusher!
Greetings from Denmark, glad to see the MZ still in action in Sweden.
An Australian railway company (Independent Rail) bought I believe 16 MZ units from Denmark. After a little work and a paint job they are running around the Standard gauge lines from Newcastle to Melbourne. These locomotives are not bad for 3000HP units.

What a superb piece of film. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that.

We have that same model (General Motors GM26T) here in Spain. I love their sound. Great vid!

One locomotive pulled that up a hill at that velocity? How much Torque does that THING develop... It must be out of this world!
how can you not love that sound ,,but your game standing that close, phew
Great shot, great sounds. The LIGHT instead of the horn was cool. Thanks.
that is the sound of an EMD 16-645 prime mover manufactured by Electro-Motive Diesel In LaGrange, IL best sounding locomotives if you ask me!!

That's an impressive load for one engine! 😳
That thing has GIANT BALLS! Amazing they fit under the cowling!
Thank you Jack for the information
Holy crap what forest did they chop down?
Well, to put it like this: how many trees are there in Sahara?
julian lujan svenska skogar
Great video....it's hammerin' along the track very nicely.
Powerful sound coming from an EMD 16V-645-E3 engine.
Thanks for your support. Compared with America, we are small but there is no problem. He can have whatever opinion he wants. It does not bother me.
Fantastic sound of the diesel turbo ❤More power ❤
IKEA is located in Sweden, this is Norway. The timber goes to biomass production. Some of this ends up in toothpaste, and even in the vanilla ice cream. Many products derived from timber. No tables or chairs this time.
Si claro! MzII is built by NOHAB and Frich in Sweden. Motor GM 16-645 E3 Performance 3300 hk/2426 kW....so you are quite right.
I think it was for me, because I was the only one on the spot.
Nice with a greeting from the train drivers.
@JohnBee76 So lucky you are. It does not run so often around here. The track is designed for electric locomotives.
This is a private company, which has several diesel locomotives, which operate here now and then.
now THAT is the sound of combustion pressure!
Yes I did like it including the backdrop. Thank you
Excellent video,best regard from Indonesia
@JohnBee76 I live in Australia and I see them on 234 cars. Unfortunately the 336 car trains don't happen any more but I did get some on tape before they finished.
Wow,impressive speed for such a load!
Thanks!! Good that you liked it.
Thank you for sharing this video I love the sound engine's working hard keep sending the videos doesn't make any difference which country they are In, sounds great to me.
If the maximum axle load is 25 tons, it it quite easy to calculate the approximate weight of the train. The loco is pulling a heavy load.
20 timber wagons pulled by only one locomotive, amaizing!!!
@ANBratlie Hei! Takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding.
Du har så rett. Dette ble filmet ved Aspedammen.
i think he was trying to say " if your standing that close, your in for it" haha. Damn EMD's are loud.
Some of these old MZ's have made their way to NSW, Australia, and are in regular freight service here. Got the chance to have a peek in the cab of one a while back, all the instrumentation and labelling is still in Danish!
It really does sound good, man made machines can be works of art just like nature..
just one engine pulling that load?! thats amazing.
I love it! Look at all them logs! Whoohoo!!
Wow this mugg sound BEAST. Gotta love it :-D

Great video...thanks for sharing
Glad you like it!
Wig-Wags and blinky bobbins. Hello! good day to you.
@Jonern67 Takk for det Jonern! Ja,det hadde vært stilig med den som ringetone.
Here in Norway we have our cars running just fine themself up the mountains, so we don't need em to be driven by trains... But lumber, it doesn't move uphill much...
Nothing like being there in person.
consider the environment before printing??
EMD D77 is the axle traction electricengine
Hear those traction motors howling!
I know I'm from New York. The SD40-2 is a type of freight locomtive produced in the 1970's.
Ahh - god old 1405 with the EMD 16-645 E3 putting all 3300 hp to work
Some of them had 20-645s too didn't they?
The MZ serie l and ll had the 16-645 E3 and MZ serie lll and lV had the 20-645 E3
A single locomotive pulling a load like that, impressive.
It's a sad reminder of the vast quantities of raw materials modern society depends on for our daily needs 24/7
Yes. Does the country have any trees left after that load? ;)
@Trainhobby98 Takk for det. Ja,her var det mye lyd som hørtes lenge før den endelig kom.
FULLY LOADED HIGH POWERED DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE AT FULL THROTTLE UP A STEEP INCLINE. THE STRAIN ON THE ENGINE MUST BE INTENSE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKEN BRUTAL !
@tostog123 Takk for det! Filmet Mz 1405 ved Aspedammen,mellom Halden og Kornsjø
Snart 70000 visninger, bra jobba !
A RAW VIKING from my country Denmark !
@wildwizardplanet
I totally agree with you. 40 years ago, the train carried large logs.
Now they carry toothpicks.
Still, thanks for watching
Very nice video, thanks.
music to my ears..great video!!
Awesome sound !

Wow! Definetly pedal to the metal. Hammer time!

Do you think so. Maybe he recognized me.
Norway's a small country you know ... hehe..and you're absolutely right .... EMD machines are quite loud.
Thank you!
Is it going to ikea,and is there another train hauling allen keys?
Awww, he flashed his lights a you.
great video
@ttrainmixx
Takk for det. Snart 72000 nå.
Har vært heldig med den.
Hærlig lyd mann!! hatt ett noen slike oppi distriktet her også. gikk nå'n Petersons, over røros bana, tøfft og høre, når dem kommer på full guff i motbakkene. :) Takk for att du delte med oss! :D
this is in norway come to america are trains are so loud when there full throttle u can here them for miles they are so powerfull and loud when they pass by slowly they still shake the crap out your car..its insane...
Just one power unit on that train? What happens if it fails going up grade?
Please can I use the audio of this in some of my projects?
Please do!
What does that have to do with your ESL problem?
So unusual to se a diesel loko in Norway, all we have is electrik that goes 250KM and without spilling the coffee.
i bet all the existing trees love seeing that thing drive by,
THIS LOCOMOTIVE IS FUCKEN TUFF !
EMD645 screamin' hard!
"Struggling up the hill?" Looks like he's doin it pretty easy to me.
Thank you watching.
MzII is built by NOHAB and Frich in Sweden. Motor GM 16-645 E3 Performance 3300 hk/2426 kW,so Pilotguy251 are quite right.
Well ... bodyrelated ... and trains of course.
Thanks for visiting my page anyway.
Definitely diesel sounds - EMD diesel in particular. I didn't see any pantographs on that loco, either.
Well, it weighs in at 116 metric tonnes and has 6 axles, so it does have a fair bit of traction, especially once it gets up to speed - It's listed as having 390 kN (88,000 lbf) traction force. Though I am not sure if that's enough for that load.
That said, it is indeed a diesel/electric train, so it could be either way, it depends on the carriages.
Isn't that an EMD 20-645 ??
var dette filmet i halden området?
@CMI1986X64 No problem dude. Norwegian trains are much shorter than the train in the United States. Small countries, small train.
sounds like an EMD prime mover. It sounds exactly like the SD40-2.
thats one tough engine....wobblefluff got it right.........the little engine that could!!!
