That engine sound just does something to me every time. My bedroom window as a teenager was right next to a double tracked CSX mainline. Trains are nostalgic and calming to me. Have seen this many times. My house was across the river from a B&O signal bridge.
I completely agree with you
That’s cool! I find them calming too
I agree ...... it makes me proud to be an American ...... hard to explain. I guess I equate it with power !!!! LOL :-)

Now that was an engineer who had places to go and people to see! I had no idea a train that long could accelerate so quickly. That was impressive.
Length has little to do with acceleration. Weight and grade are the 2 major factors.
Tractive effort my fellow humans.
He's pulling empties, and has both engines online. That's why he's able to get moving
That train (an AC model without Distributed Power too) must have had a string of EMPTIES behind it to accelerate like that. If it (a DC model you can tell by the way it starts out) would have been with loaded cars and Distributed Power too it would start out more like this one here: ruclips.net/video/N3VjUp9oz8o/видео.html
@@chuxtuff They were all empties
The U30C with the 7FDL-16 the Southern Pacific had was always one of the best sounding engines out there.
Yes, I agree. A trio of U30Cs or a brace of C30-7s starting out under load was the best sound ever. Grew up in Galesburg, Illinois on South Broad st directly across from the yards in the '60s, 70s, and visited family there in the' 90s and the ground would shake when the GEs would throttle up. Unforgettable.
I've always been an EMD fan but you can't deny GEVO's sound pretty damn mean👍🏼😎
Same
Yes they do
Your room must be near the one the Blues Bros were renting?
"How often does the train come by here?"
"So often you won't even here it."
I hate to admit it as well, but good sand and tangent track and you can't get one to wheel slip
Yeah the GEVO sound has always caught my ear even since I was young and would hear amtrak locomotives with it. I also like to hear a GEVO juxtaposed with the screaming turbo of an EMD
Those two GE’s got after it! I’d pay extra to watch a “drag race” between two loaded coal trains, side by side, pulling from a dead stop, up Crawford Hill in Nebraska…one equipped with GE’s and one equipped with EMD’s.
I'd add a third competitor to that race... UP Big Boy 4014.
@@KingdaToro From stand still? Diesel got better traction & adhesion than a steamer. But from rolling start, my money on steamers.
That got up to speed pretty darn fast. That's a boat load of weight to up and move.
He's puttin' the whip to that lead phillie!
Music to my ears!! Pure power!!😁😁
love that double whoop at 2:22
Air compressors kicking on. Never heard a double like that.
@@DNR5586 because the second one is from the other locomotive
@@DNR5586 Thanks for explaining what that whoop sound was. I've heard it many times but didn't know what made it. Love that sound.
That part is the highlight of the video
The sound of a fighter jet or this here????🤔 LOVE THEM BOTH💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
One of my favorite quotes from Unstoppable, “I'm stepping in it, on it, around it, and through it” Another favorite quote, from Smokey & The Bandit, “Hold on to your ass Fred...” Hammer down and hang on! ❤
Love all those ex-CNW hoppers!
Wow! You are not kidding! Very impressive!
Even if all the cars are completely empty, that was some fast acceleration for a couple locomotives pulling that many cars
That's 8800 hundred horsepower pulling it
Man was he kicking ass, no hopping that train.
if you already did, you betteer hang on
That fire damaged GEVO, also keep on doing that and a knuckle will get pulled😂. Love to see the N-0 to N-8!
Violence or malfunction cause fire?
Didn't see any wheel slippage that's awesome
Nice catch.... you were not kidding...
We have these at work and they sound awesome, pity they are too gutless so we're not allowed to have them together any more. They have to be paired up with a sd70 or sd90
93 wagons, wow🤣🤣a beast👍👍👍🇬🇧
Wow, he had the highball signal and took care of it!
Nice video. The GEVO-12 prime mover has a noticeably faster load & throatier sound than the more clanky-sounding FDL-16 on older Dash 9s & AC4400s.
I'd guess because the 12 cyl isn't as heavy as the 16 cyl but I'm no expert
@@amessman The GEVO 12 is a heavier engine. It has better engine and turbo controls, thus it can load faster without smoking. If you load an old FDL too fast, it smokes like crazy.
Wouldn’t it have bigger pistons than the previous 16 cylinder?
@@bluegrassman3040 It has. Bore x stroke is 9 x 10.5 in for the 7FDL compared to 9.84 x 12.6 in for the GEVO.
My goodness, the power required to do that is insane.
The fastest, smoothest acceleration of a train of that length I've ever seen. He should have been in Hamlet in about 30 minutes.
That hogger must have been a former AT&SF engineer hahaha.... By the way, he most like notched up in accordance with good train handling techniques, meaning he didnt just slam the throttle to Run 8, he notched her up and watched his amps start leveling out and then grabbed another notch and so forth, newer GEs like those would have pulled a knuckle or even a drawbar out.... It was obviously was a train of empties, depending on the grade there he might have not even grabbed all 8 notches ....
Not bad for a couple of DC EVO's - suspect terrain was slightly down hill.
Lol with a tailwind
Engineer looks over to the right, "Hey, bud! Wanna drag?!" Conductor looks to the Engineer, "Smoke 'em!"
That's some Cole Trickle dropping the hammer right there. LOL
Hear those gennies kick on. He had the gigawatts.
Normally because they’re so common I’m not a fan of newer GE power, but I will admit they make a pretty good noise
Perhaps that damage to that cowl paint job is a testament to the turbo section catching fire. I wonder if those traction motors are hot?
Now that's pulling power.
Well... Dang. I'm impressed.
Drive it like you stole it!👍
now we are rolling
Now that is what I call highballing
If you entertained thoughts, mon ami, of it accelerating so rapidly, you should of had a chequered flag to wave 'em off !
Dope catch!!
Great video, but please cut the intro. It's fully 15% of the whole thing.
Pull on em’ high ball
Those sound like a gigantic V6 - although they are probably not that exactly.
They are turbocharged V12s. Total displacement is 188 liters or 11,500 cubic inches. 4,700 net HP at the crankshaft at 1050 RPM.
Now that was awesome
Damn. What about the coupler slack!?!?
If it’s an empty train they can take off pretty fast. It’s it’s loaded down. It’ll take a while
93 loads starting out that fast? That's approx 9,300 tons. I'm thinking they were empties. If those were loads. It's likely he would have torn the train in half
Nice
Wooooosh!
Wow diesels............
Assuming, since there were only 2 locomotives, that most of that was empties.
Two locomotives would still pull that train full loaded. However, it would take a lot longer to get up to track speed.
Impressive.
Notice 5308 has been on fire as has many NS engines of the same model. Do the railroads make so much money that they don't see this excess fuel as money down the drain and this repeat problem as a reliabiliity issue?
Engine room fire, typical on GE units.
@@leebuck180 more common on dash 9s as they’re nicknamed ge toasters
Looks like 5304 lost a turbski at some point in time!🤔🧐
Headed to the Monroe yard?
is a ES40DC a GEVO?
Pretty much yes it’s a Tier 2 Class GE
WOW!
Ge’s almost sound like the deltics when they’re chugging
Are those V16 diesel electric hybrids?
They are not hybrids. The run a V-12 diesel. General Electric is the builder.
Looks like it burned at one point
Good way to shake off those pesky bums..
He has her hooked up for sure
How many megawatts does one of those engines produce ?
About 3.5 million watts gross output per unit.
1:59
There had to be a lot of emptys
burh he said f*ck this and yeeted him self
You take off like that with an empty unit train and a "high steppa" intermodal train or amtrak is right behind you
He hit the nitrous button about 4:00
Yikes!
😁
*Looks like she had a farr on board...*
Too bad the video couldn't stay with the units when they were roaring full tilt. The Gevo's are nasty sounding with the knocking echo of the cowl fans following. Nothing else sounds like it.
Get down and out of town.
First time I've heard a train video made into a music video, don't like it
A 40 second intro? Really? Lost my interest at 20 seconds just stuck around just to see how long it would drag on
Don’t you think it’s kind of creepy and weird to put someone’s name in the title of your video? Do you even know this person???
Yessir I Know Him Very well
Wow ! Zero to sixty in about 2.5 ..... minutes ! Actually , that's the fastest locomotive launch I think I've ever seen .
Yeah but you don't consider about terrain on this track..
Homie did a boosted launch 🤣
Cars are all empty, there is a huge difference between loaded and empty cars.
Even with a lot of power, a train accelerating this briskly means the cars are mostly MT
You mean "empty". Spell it out like a real person. These abbreviations just kill me.
They were full. Look at the springs on the cars. It must have been a down hill slope. Those were full heavy cars.
"MT" is a common abbreviation in the rail, barge, and trucking industry.
@ToxicTommy, exactly what I use in the trucking world. My company uses MTY abbreviation as empty.
Most Def.
"Awesome catch. I like how it just took off from a complete stop to full throttle."
Yessir Me too
Total skill from that engineer 👏
I can't imagine feeling the ground shaking
Actually its more like 0-3-7-8. In that order. Notch 3 to get it moving without wheel slip or breaking a knuckle pulling out the slack. 6 or 7 then 8. You just don't go 0-8 on a freight train for too many reasons.
Finally! Someone who knows what they're talking about.... Thank you....
@@2flyabove Dad is a retired train engineer. Grew up with going to the yard with my mom dropping him off, picking him up and grew up a railroad bratt. I have 1 brother who currently works for CSX in Jacksonville. Almost became one myself but I didn't like the time away from home and remember what it was like growing up with my dad spending so much time away. Went through most of the railroad course work and everything and finally decided that it Wasn't for me. I know as much as they know though!
@@nbagoats4819 Thanks for sharing the history with your dad and growing up in that environment. Very cool, being a boy with trains in your life. I was fascinated with locomotives from a very early age. Back in the days of steam, though, lol....
@NBAGOATS, what’s the highest train operators make a year? I’ve been curious as I love trains myself despite being 31.
@@steveanderson5244 Depends on your work ethic. If you work, you can make way over a hundred grand. If you're like some of the "part timers" as we call them, you'll make around 65-80 grand.
Those GE Locomotives sound's absolutely awesome in notch 8
Holy smoke! That’s a badass performance.
Typical GE performance, "Eight and Wait". That's what I loved about running the GEs in that as soon as you saw the EOT device start moving on an empty train like that just put it in the 8th notch and wait for the power to come up to full tilt. EMDs need more notch by notch, GEs you can just sweep it to Run 8. (Note: Not a company approved method)
So basically you just floor it and dump the clutch, but in a locomotive.
That's pretty dope.
Wow! That really picked up speed quickly!!! So powerful!
He Was the main line with that stop and evidendtly he had to get moving to avoid backing up the line on that stretch of track which evidently had a 60 mph speed limit
Music to my ears!!!!! What a gorgeously AWESOME sound!!! And, enhanced by my studio headphones ....total eargasm!
Hahaha appericate it
@@apply3stepproduction903 lol, I watched it like 10 times in a row! I really enjoyed this video. Thanks! And subbed!
Turn up the bass
@@ellisjackson3355 I did! It was spectacular! Lol
Man that was nice! He stepped on out of there.
That train is straight flying at the end. I tried to use a calculation of length per second but my numbers seem pretty astounding.
I did to. Trying to count from knuckle to knuckle across the grade and it was too fast.
Man I had forgotten about that rocket blast off. Thanks video.
Yessir No Problem & Yall Boys Sure do know How to Get outta Dodge
It takes about that long to get my fully loaded semi up to speed!!👍
I see they had a genuine GE toaster in the lead! :-)
So that's what you call one that has had a fire on board?
@@JungleYT Precisely!
@@LUVEMDPOWER aren’t burn marks more common on the dash 9 series than the gevos I see them on dash 9s more come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever seen. Burn marks on a gevo at least not irl
@@ShazzledWolf32 Have seen plenty of GEVO's, including some ET44AC's, with burn marks. Not as many as the -9's, but, have seen them.
@@LUVEMDPOWER figured personally I like the dash 9s more than the gevos to me they have character ig because they’re older
I think a turbocharger fire is like a right of passage for a GE
Lol. That'll explain the scar on the first locomotive. I was wondering what that was
That was quite a treat! Loved the “turbo char” on the side. Are those cooling fans kicking in (2) at 2:22? Oh to be there to hear the engines throbbing. Nothing like it.
Air compressors. Electrically driven.
The cooling fans are the buzzing sound you can hear. The big radiator fan is relatively quiet for it's size... the buzzing fans are the intercooler fans. The double "whoomp" is the compressors.
Thank you both for the responses. This is a duh moment. Brake release depletes reservoir air, therefore -- Yup!
You'd feel it in your chest to
MORE COWBELL...........................
Railroads sure have come a long way Haven't they. That was impressive 😮.
Sir they are empties not loads
Its G968 That's what Hamlet Runs there Grains Locals as Cause there's Was 3 after this One
That was unbelievable. Now I know what high ballin' looks like.
Empty or not. That was awesome brother!! Very nice catch 👏
To get going that fast so quickly, the grain cars were most likely empty.
burnt carbody doors. yep its a ge
Ten to 1 it’s an empty train,! Had he had that many cars full of grain, he’s still be crawling by!!
Impressive acceleration but they are empty I believe? What do 88 empty wagons weigh? And what would they weigh if they were full?
Empty they weigh about 30-40 tons. Loaded about 130 tons.
