M-497 Experimental Jet Train (Dubbed Audio)

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Project I took on in October 2020 to add sound to the classic footage of the M-497's test run near Bryan, OH in 1966. Contains mostly original recordings of mine (mostly rolling stock and sounds for the NYC Geep) but some audio is borrowed.

That channel is gone
The thing I find absolutely wild is the fact that this thing safely performed the way it did at such speeds along all jointed rail.
Nothings wrong with split rail
With high iron as it's called it'll be fine. Also, the lens forshortening effect makes the track lengths appear shorter than they actually are.
The fact that they strapped a jet engine to the top of an RDC will never cease to be the funniest thing ever.
Pretty insane that it ever happened

The most redneckist engineering ever done on the New York Central
@@TheMrPeteChannel lol exactly
@@compdude100 You too dude ~
So beautiful. So sad this engine was scrapped.
@octolia2024 I don't know who exactly, but it's still sad no one attempted to preserve her. A rare engine like that would get alot of attention.
@octolia2024doesn’t look very fast
It lasted until 1984, albeit returned to standard RDC form.
Air force learned to not leave their b47s and b52s parked around train yards
lol
B36, IIRC

Ah, i forgot about the 6 turnin 4 burnin
Custom made at the New York Central System's Collinwood Yard, Locomotive Shops in Cleveland, Ohio. Thank you Alfred Perlman.
The birds chirping in the background on that one pass is hilarious.
The guy who built the train was blowing the horn when it was flying by
Oh cool, where'd you find that out?
@@LotusbandicootRR Amtrakguy365
@@LotusbandicootRR I cannot remember for the life of me where I heard this, but supposedly the engineer was blowing the horn practically the entire time due to it being so extremely unusually fast
@@magnusaugust8489 I think AmtrakGuy365 said that
Must've been over 100 mph
Maybe around 140 mph
Thankyou for this beautifull video
It was a great experimental train and it performed well given that the rail system wasn't designed for such speeds, sad it was scrapped
Know this area well. I've heard comments from former NYC/PC Engineers that this was a favored area to try and make up a little time when running late as they knew the track was good for higher speeds.
Looks like Thomas and the Jet Engine wasn't as unrealistic as viewers thought it was.
The tree huggers would have a field day with that. imagine living in a small town near the tracks. It would be like living next to a runway.
Nevermind the tree huggers, NIMBYs would spontaneously combust out of sheer rage.
I certainly wouldn't want to listen to that thing going by closely.
@@AlpostponeCould we possibly use the combustion to power another train?
Hello, good video, one question, I could take your video to do a job that is another video of mine and I promise you that in the description of my video I will put the link of the video taken.
come on there is one positive thing, he cleaned the railway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When the TGV powered by gas turbine generates not enough thrust...

- точно. Давай поставим турбины.
Ya know, when they were making Chuggington, this would've made a better basis for Action Chugger than a high-speed train with unfolding jet boosters.

Can I pls. use that for the NYC song as wel as a mskeover?

Sikorsky did the right thing by moving these engines inside the locomotive. That is why his train existed for a long time - from 1968 to 1982.
Sikorsky made a gas turbine locomotive?
Just one bird strike and ?
This straight up looks like a paint can with a face screaming towards you from a distance
on my case, it's making that bruh face hence why i dub thee "bruh train"
Gee wiz , that's a really snazzy retro/futuristic rail runner, how that going to work out coupled propane/ butane tank cars, just saying.......
Neighbours love the sound????
max speed?
186.8 miles per hour
Looks like a heavily modified VW Bus 😂
It seems to make more exhaust smoke more than speed.

I guess somebody had to try it, if only to demonstrate in detail what a truly massively bad idea it would be.
I doubt it would have been fast under load.

295 km/h in 1966.
Cool! But a truly terrible idea.. any jet is bad for this, but they even used a turbojet, rather than a turbofan. The straight jet is especially inefficient at low altitude and low airspeed, and this was both. I see it reached 183 mph.. fast for a train, but slow for the jet.
The specific fuel consumption for that was about 1 lb per hour per pound of thrust..each engine is about 6000 lb thrust, so about 6000 lb kerosene per hour per engine. X 2 = 12000 lb fuel per hour.
So, in an hour, you'd travel 183 miles and burn over 1700 gallons of fuel.
That is about 0.1 miles per gallon.
The efficiency would be far worse at lower speeds, as turbines only become somewhat efficient (relatively speaking) at near maximum power, they are extra bad when run at low power.
Truly a terrible idea. I would have loved to have been involved, though, looks like fun!
The NYC had money to burn on stuff like this?
Well... considering Penn Central happened only a couple years later... probably not 😂
Very poor design. Who did it an intern?
Not sure what you mean as it was an economical method to get data on high speed passenger equipment on convention trackage, was highly successful and provided much of parameters for development of the NE Corridor Metroliner fleet.

What does it mean when it says launch the train?

An absurd experiment in what COULD be done vs the logic of what SHOULD NOT be done for all practical purposes.
