- Russia is well known for many things. Vodka, its past, and well, them failing at war. One thing many people don't know is that a few of Russia's diesel locomotives ended up in the Land of Free, for different reasons. Both of which were short-lived.

ALL PHOTOS USED DO NOT BELONG TO ME, THEY BELONG TO THERE RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
The Russian units were sent here on the theory that they would be used on unit grain trains. But, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern and Santa Fe would not have allowed them on their tracks. The grain moved all right with Dash7’s, Dash8’s and SD60’s of all variants.
They don’t allow locomotives on our tracks because they use the SA3 couplers and They run on 1520 Gauge.
Very interesting episode! I knew about the stored engines in Houston, but Idid not know about GE importing the TE10s by truck to rebuild them for Russia. I wonder if they're still in service and how well they perform when compared to the non-rebuilt counterparts.
Would've been cool to see those Russian engines working here in the US. Makes me wonder how long they would've lasted, or what railroads would take them. It'd be funny to see the paint scheme of UP or Santa Fe on one of those.
What an interesting documentary ! Another fan mentioned your channel in passing and, since I had not heard of you before, I just had to check out your work. Excellent, professional and pleasing production work !! Thank you. James.
I did not expect Russian locomotives in America. Cool video.
It's always interesting to see a twist of equipments between US and Russia. Like GE's TE33A
Yes. That Dual cab Gevo locomotive. Same GEVO-12 prime mover. They do look interesting.
sucks that they were scrapped, would've been so cool to have in a museum!
TEM-7 seems to resemble the locomotive they were based off from the Alco RS-1/RSD-1. What could have been done to the TEM-7s was that they could have been sent to MPI Caterpillar EMD and Wabtec GE for examination and then ask the Russian builder for licensed production of the TEM-7 locomotive 2TE10 is a development of 2TE109 which is seen in Germany as DR Baureihe 130-132 & 142 DB Baureihe 231-233 & 242.

The P36 Locomotives are a lot like the Union Pacific 844.
I would have bought one for the hilarity’s sake in operational condition and probably give it to a short line to mess around with.
The TE10 could have been a prototype for the Mongolian 2ZAGAL or any of the other rebuilds on that chassis. Nowadays the power packs are sent that way and the locomotive is fitted with these locallt
Я из России, и мне этот видос зашёл на ура! Ты молодец Коул! я подписался на тебя и поставил лайк)!
Those TEM-7s sure do look like old Baldwin diesels.
In soviet russia, railroad, builds you.
We should purchase a Russian locomotive like what it was used in Anastasia.
Hardbass Americanized Locomotives
You call 8k an impressive amount? The M62 diesels saw a total of 7k single and 5k double units produced!
Diesel exports have come full-circle considering the TEMs are based off the RS series if I'm not mistaken.
nice but you forgot about the Russian 2-10-0 decapod
and the little joes
The problem is that we built them for Russia and never made it to Russia and stayed in the US for there working lives
@@gamerfan8445 some of the little joes made it to russia
@@themanformerlyknownascomme777 they didn't, they never left in american soil because the state department banned sales to the soviet union while production was underway and they were bought by the milwaukee road instead
@@unaizilla they left BEFORE the Soviet Union was a thing. They were shipped to the Russian Empire during WW1 just before the Russian Revolution. When the Soviet Union came and Congress banned exports the units that had not been shipped over/were in the middle of production ended up getting sold to various American railroads.
4th also can you do the prr s1
Halton I feel like we need NS Units (I done 2)
Many of these Soviet locomotives have outlived the GE U boats/Dash 7s and the SD40-2s in America and Canada. Basically European locomotives outlasting Canadian/American locomotives
Kinda funny because Estonia has dash 7's in freight service ruclips.net/video/UdKc4Y2zccA/видео.html
What about the milwaukee 'road Little joe's ?
Russian locomotives find their way onto North American soil. I don't know how they got here.

Ok
I guess the russian trains want to be free of communism😂
