      Ran 4 16 cylinders and 2 12 cylinders on my drill ship, running each EMD 3 days 24 hours a day, or when moving the ship run all motors together cantilever we arrived on drill site. We NEVER ever had any leaking oil problems. But, we pretty much rebuilt each EMD after 300 running hours. Easiest motor I ever worked on. EMDs' will be around a long time in the USA, no matter what the Clean air supporters say or do, no matter the extreme advancements in Electric Motors, you can not electrify the US rail system, not the whole thing, it's way to large. BUT that's not the real reason for not electrifying the system. The real reason is Nation Security, consider the foreign power that hacks the system. Also, a EMP bomb would shut down America. But a rail system that relies on thousands of independent Locomotives are pretty safe. Europe lives in la la land. They have only had peace for about 60 years. They had at lest two world wars, and dozens of border conflicts. The Ukraine, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus have had invasions just recent history. So, their all electric rail system could easily end one of them. Maybe 200 years with no wars or border conflicts we will go electric. Until then I bet on EMD's.

One of my cousin' mechanic'd on ALCo's, GE's and EMD's and said the EMD's bar-none the best overall running engine out there. Like to know more about your experience about "leaking" EMD's. Pielstick engines leak drip oil like the exxon valdez. Boils down to proper maintenance procedures (competency and actually giving a fk) when assembling an engine to keep it from being a leaker.

Sometimes the porta-potties at the local event are much more cleaner than up toilets. The pandemic changed things for about three months then, after that the crap just oozed downhill. I've seen more spill over from toilets than i care to see.

      Sanding gear applies sand to stop wheel slipping - especially to get the train moving. Also, adhesion - there would be 25 tons plus, on each axle and 3300 horsepower. This SD40 loco would have no trouble shifting 1200 tons plus train.

      That's because the engines in EMD locomotives are Detroit Diesel...That's why it's a two stroke...General Motors created and founded both Detroit Diesel and Electro Motive Division.
      The labeling of the engines are the same as well.The numbers "567","645",and "710" refers to how many cubic inches each cylinder has.Then the numbers "12-" "16-" "20-" refer to how many cylinders the engine has itself.Just like how "8V-71","8V-92",or "6V-53" means you have six or eight cylinders and 53,71,or 92 cubic inches per cylinder.The same thing like I said applies to 16-645's,16-567's,or 16-710's.
      Detroit Diesel is now owned by Mercedes Benz and EMD is owned by Caterpillar,that's why the SD70ACE-T4's have Caterpillars in them.

      The GP60's & SD60's were the first units to have the 710-G3A's.The 710-G3C's had the highest horsepower rating in the SD75I's & SD75M's.The biggest variant and for most horsepower was the 20-710 G3B-EC's in the SD80MAC's.The SD9043MAC convertibles had 710-G3B's like all other SD70 variations but that was suppose to be briefly because the units still had extra motor mounts for the bigger 265H's if those weren't failures which did happen.
      The GP50's & SD50's with the 645F3's were the last units to have that series and were just the beginning of EMD's downfall.That was the result of too much horsepower,overpromising,cutting costs,and cheap electronics.EMD vaguely attempted to make up for more horsepower after what happened with the 20-645E3's in the SD45's,F45's/FP45's,SD45-2's,SD45T-2's,
      SDP45's,and SD45M's which had numerous crankshaft failures.

    • @BilgeDweller
      @BilgeDweller 6 лет назад

      These are sweet running engines. As it is a 16 cylinder two stroke, there is a firing impulse for every 22.5 degrees of crankshaft rotation, so they are very smooth for a big engine, very little vibration.

    • @martihill3611
      @martihill3611 6 лет назад +1

      Yes, about 3200 HP. They can be tweaked to 3600 with the excitation control, but that is a lot for those Dynamic grids. 3000-3200 is good for longevity.

      @@martihill3611 Not sure where you're getting those numbers from. I've never heard anything other than 3000hp quoted for an SD40. The SD45s used a 20-cylinder version of the same engine to get 3600hp but those were unreliable and most of them were either derated to 3000hp or re-engined with the 16-cylinder engine of an SD40.

    You can't tell me that isn't a GM Engine. It's even Green.
    Just like a Detroit.
    Just a big Detroit 2 Stroke
    Diesel. 16 Cyl two V-8 blocks bolted together.
    Even the side plate inspection covers look about the same. If you pull one off you can see the Piston. I drove many Detroit's 31 yrs. Drove one that was so worn out. You could pull the inspection covers off & the Rings were GONE... it Smoked Bad had no Power. The 2 strokes had no torque on low end. The power band on those engines was between 1900 & 2350 RPM'S they are History Now. I am not so able any longer but I spent 31 yrs running through the Night out there over the Road. Hope someone enjoys reading about these Great American Engines

      Well yea if you look closely at those they are two V-8 blocks bolted together. Or it looks to be welded together. Also if you Google who built EMD Train Engines GM GENERAL MOTORS built them. Detroit's also were. I never was a Train Anything. I just sorta figured slot of this out. & Drove Trucks 31 years & many Detroit's. All these Train Engines are 2 strokes.

    Why can’t we put EMD tech in road vehicles? This technology has been around since the 1920s, and has been in use basically since the 1940s. Right in plain sight most people have no idea how trains move, and don’t know that trains were basically the first hybrids and with a technology way older than they would guess if asked. In theory wouldn’t a modern sized car engine be able to drive a generator able to power electric motors to the wheels of a car?

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 2 года назад

      They're not hybrids -- there's no battery. (Well, there is a battery but, like an ordinary car, it's used for starting, not for powering the wheels.) There's no reason to use a diesel-electric transmission in a car, as a mechanical transmission through a gearbox works fine. That doesn't work on a railway locomotive because putting 3000hp through a clutch would be a nightmare.
