For those wondering, the locomotives are GE BB40-9WMs. They’re identical to the classic North American Dash-9 (C40-9W), except that they’re fitted with a different wheel arrangement. These dash-9s have a B+B-B+B (4 trucks, 2 on each side, each truck with 2 powered axels, 8 axels total) wheel arrangement, which is made for Brazil’s narrow 1 meter (3 ft 3-3/8 in) gauge railways. The North American Dash-9s use a C-C (2 trucks, one on each side, each truck has 3 powered axels, 6 axels total) wheel arrangement, and standard track width in North America is 4 ft 8-1/2 inches. It’s cool that GE still makes the dash-9, but only for export. It can no longer be made for the US market as it doesn’t meet the EPA’s tier 4 emission standards. EMD did this with the SD70ACe, which also can no longer be made for the US market with its T3 engine. It’s now exported to Brazil as the SD70ACe-bb with the B+B-B+B wheel arrangement. This is hands down one of the coolest catches I’ve seen. Those big ass CAT 992K loaders were cool too. They’re close to some of the biggest loaders in the world!

Now apparently neither Caterpillar nor WABCO make any "EMD" or "GE" locomotives for the US at all, which is why we get stuck with lousy, ugly Siemens junk now. This country can't even retain its own locomotive manufacturers... Pretty pathetic.
Kevin Olschesky overseas markets don’t really care who your president is. We buy because it’s the most appropriate product for our purposes. Here in Australia, we buy from all over the world as well as make our own products. Pretty much all the motive power on our iron ore railways in north west Australia are pure US domestic locomotives. In fact, some have returned to the US, are refurbished and now operate on your own routes. You’d never pick them. We’ve been buying them like that since the 1960s because they do the job.
Actually Kevin, the EPA forced US locomotive manufacturers to limit pollution and increase efficiency. The manufacturers cried that it would kill their business. You know what happened? They met the higher EPA standards, by burning less diesel and in turn, made a product that is in demand around the world because of this!
Thank you for posting this excelent video. That is a good example of how a Latin American country could keep on working with US locomotive engines. I hope my country as Argentina could do the same.
@Jean Toronto Raptors no.... These are deisnged in the US and built in Erie, Pennsylvania (both domestic and export models). They are however in the process of moving manufacturing to Texas
Pretty neat. Reminds me of the time I came across a whole train of wind turbine components running from Nashville to Memphis. Too bad I didn't have a video camera with me. The Caterpillar wheel loaders were built at the plant I worked at, Aurora IL, though most of their output was sent by truck...guessing that they liked paying extra for shipping or something. Not much there now, most of the production was sent to Mexico, with only final assembly in a new plant in Texas. The track dozers were built in Peoria.
@@philipbrailey Because everything on the train was assembled in the USA, but the technology and electronics had to be purchased in Germany? Fortunately you now have the trump, so we can continue to sell you our old stuff :-)
Gross tonnage was probably around 7000 tons. The GE units and their trucks weigh about 200 tons each and while impressive the rest of the loads are not all that heavy, just bulky. The two EMD locomotives are 4300 HP each so that would be 8600 HP, far within the general 1 HP per ton rule of thumb. This would actually not be an easy train to run as there is a lot of slack in all those long drawbar flats.
Pretty cool! The main bodies of the locomotives first then the missing traction units following behind on more flats. Some assembly required upon delivery!
MAN that was totally cool all those brand spankin new GEs being transported atop those low slung flat car,s,must be a super deduper heavy load and they only used 2 GE locomotives too do the job,locomotive technollagy has come a long way within the last 30 some years A/C traction is where it's at impressive the loads they can pull!!!!😀😀😀....Frank misssssschief...thank you
I saw the same thing with a full track (66 cars) of John Deere tractors, combines, etc in 2009 when the U.S. economy took a nosedive. That was the last of the large John Deere orders i have ever seen.
1. 14 x engines = $42M 2. 4 Cat Loaders = $750K 3. 44 x Case farm tractors = $2.3M 4. 4 x Cat D9T bulldozers = $2M Combined will give a total price of just under $50M, that cargo is worth it's weight in gold. Wouldn't mind acquiring those D9T's and Loaders, plus a couple engines from that stock pile. 👍
Im pretty sure your math is off a bit... those cat loaders are close to 1m each...along with the d9s. The farm tractor ls range in the $200 - 300k each
je pense que des calculs de rentabilite ont été réalisés sur cette méthode de transport !!!:::: Vaut il mieux transporter beaucoup,et lentement avec de gros moyens de tractionou l'inverse.....????...
Locomotives and trains in general are amazing!! Its just unbelieve how 2 locomotives can haul over fifteen locomotives and their trucks effortlessly!
No hills to climb.
Not only the loco's but all the big Cat Dozers and Loaders and all those Case and New Holland tractors as well, they don't weigh light.
Theyd handle grades easily with this load. @roberthenry9319

It wont, god damned Socialists have won again.
It's amazing two locomotives can pull all that weight with such ease.
That's a lot of power. Beautiful equipment.
The only friction or resistance comes from air.
@@carrollcameron8650 That's the least of it,
there is also gravity and rail resistance.
? 1 loco pulls so much more than that. RC2, RC4 and RD2 locos pull more than twice that amount of cars in Sweden.
Unbelievable !

That's an amazing train load, well done for catching this, I would have been in my element's seeing these.
What a great video, but I'm amazed that only two locomotives were able to move such a heavy load!

Thats a seriously high value cargo

Each one about $2-3 million X 50 ish
Just those CAT loaders and dozers alone are a few million. Then another easy 3 Mil or more worth of farm tractors.
@@trainguy1017 Only ONE of those tractors are worth around 300k each
Fantastic transit! Greetings from Italy. Ciao, Stefano

I have been watching trains all my life & this is a first.. Thanks for sharing very cool.
Alot of money there. Good video
Ficou top esse vídeo! Parabéns @Vale 🇧🇷
Fu**ing awesome!!! Thanks 👍👍👍 for uploading!!!
These units of VLI are called Dash 9 here in Brazil. particularly in São Paulo
Minas🤙, Dash 9 BB n roda em São Paulo, lá roda as AC44I
Uma incrível composição levando locomotivasda vli, ainda bem que as outras são produzidas no Brasil, como as ac44i, e agora essas são feitas aqui
MG!
Quite the shopping list!
Brings on a new meaning to the term, 'Train Hopping.'
Coolest train I have ever seen. If you saw it on a model railroad you wouldn't believe it
Wow way cool. Someone put in a very large order.
I know there powerful but 2 units pulling that lot is very impressive!
That's my thought too.
Vejo varias Locomotivas da VL! aqui onde moro em Campinas - Brasil.
Coolest consist ever! Would be awesome to see done on a model railroad!
Òkò

Can you imagine the weight of that pull!
The Power in those Machines are un godly brotha.
Still get a far away look in my eye when I hear an old train in the night!
Wow such a Powerful Machice these Locomotives are man.
USA exportando modernas locomotivas para o Brasil. CAT e GE possui fabricas de locomotivas em Minas Gerais-Brasil desde 1970.
Nice engines
Valeu pelo comentário 👍
Verdade

Frank Mosch those were EMDs pulling this train
Whoever the salesman was that put that order together can retire now for life off the commission. It's amazing how much of our stuff the world needs.
I saw the same thing with a full track (66 cars) of John Deere tractors, combines, etc in 2009 when the U.S. economy took a nosedive. That was the last of the large John Deere orders i have ever seen.
I wonder how many people are going to get that reference, Legend.
Parenthood? lol
BossSpringsteen69 now their overpriced and overrated shit sits on lot.
Good old Jew Deere.
Those weren't JD tractors they were case
Wow Awesome. That much load pulled by only 2 Units of locomotive.
' .
Sd70s gets the job done
and all the GE's could not stop the 2 EDM's
Very cool. Not something I've ever seen before.
Awesome catch.
Now that was one interesting train!
Must been one hell of a ship to carry all of that
1. 14 x engines = $42M
2. 4 Cat Loaders = $750K
3. 44 x Case farm tractors = $2.3M
4. 4 x Cat D9T bulldozers = $2M
Combined will give a total price of just under $50M, that cargo is worth it's weight in gold. Wouldn't mind acquiring those D9T's and Loaders, plus a couple engines from that stock pile. 👍
Obama probably gave them away !
Im pretty sure your math is off a bit... those cat loaders are close to 1m each...along with the d9s. The farm tractor ls range in the $200 - 300k each
Your math is way off like pointed out some of those cats are far more then 750 and those are case Optum series and are over 200,000 a pop.
Fuck you, this is transport
SIMPLY SUPERB. All the best.
my favorite brazilian trains on the exportation
Anyone else find it funny how they used EMD locomotives to pull a train with GE locomotives loaded on it?
It’s sad that the units being exported are not EMD? Looks like a nice order for GE
@@ed777tx-edward8 yeah, but in the long run they’ll crap out and the old Sd40’s will still be kicking

Vaut il mieux transporter beaucoup,et lentement avec de gros moyens de tractionou l'inverse.....????...
train to indonesian what?
Cool catch! Those looked like 4-axle trucks though. Never saw an 8-axle truck.
yeah your right I think they look strange
I bet it is to distribute the weight around more evenly. It kinda sounds like they might have older lightweight rail in Brazil
Narrow gauge. You need 16 axles for the weight of the locomotives. Two four axle trucks at each end with a span bolster to connect them.
8=4
Just as it should be...Two beautiful SD70's hauling GE's around .....
Whatever sales man got that order is one lucky person lol
0:34 Your shipment of irony has arrived...
Quiet pleasantly surprised that only 2 locomotives could pull all that weight....lot of power....
It's nice to see American exports going out. Wonder what the total insured value was on that shipment.
Wow, those locomotives got Do-Do wheel arrangement from the wheel sets seen in the trailing flat-bed cars.
Actually, they have an B+B-B+B arrangement.
Thats a sick load!!!
Theses VL! locos are active on the tracks here in Brazil where in the city where I live.
This is heavy metal babe! They working on Brazil(Brasil)
BEAUTIFUL, LOVE TRAINS!!!
Wow that is a lot of potental horse power.
A total of 9000HP cuz both Locomotives can go up to 4500HP is the limit.
What a powerful train head.
very good video a lot of freight there for 2 engines,,,,they are doing good
This is like the opposite of a funeral train.
It is more like a stork delivering a brand new locomotives instead of babies.
You talking about when NRE gets old locos delivered top their yards?

Billions of dollars probably
