- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2011
- A collection of the most action I've ever seen in one afternoon on Pan Am.
A few things you'll see in this video:
-Two GP9s helping three SD40 varients restart their train, with copious smoke.
-Two sections of MOAY, one sporting rental power and one with a pumpkin.
-A meet between two manifest freights on the bridge west of east deerfield yard.
-A wide variety of semi-uncommon cars (for new england anyway) including lots of gondolas of scrap, recyling, wire, ties, wheels, and water, plus a canadian cylindrical hopper and many coil cars.
-An empty Bow coal train with a standard cab dash-9.
-A stationary Sperry inspection car. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

That poor old GP9 is literally pouring her guts out to get that thing moving! well done, and kudos to the engineer for handling it like a champ!
Moving freight and keeping the mosquitoes down...
That’s what Alcos are for
@@josherickson6862 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Guilford still doing it's part to save the environment!
Yes. Trucks give out more fumes per ton mile!
@@Isochest😂
There's some real wear in the cylinder liners and rings of that lead unit!
It was great to see that Guilford took the "West Nile" Mosquito virus seriously back then with their GP9 Sprayer conversion !! Lol : D
That spray unit worked well ! , all mosquitos have been eridicated , well done 👍 😂😂🤣🤣
@@davegeisler7802 👍 🦟🧬🧪🔬😜
Those poor old Geep 9's sure do have some miles under them!
The 51 gave a lot of parts to get the 52 operational.
Talk about blowing the carbon out. 🤪
Damn, I miss that sound of a Roots-blown 567!
The GP9 mosquito fogger was working as designed. ;^)
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love the growl of BNSF 4198 as it passes underneath. Mean!
I liked the video and the sound captured was good. Love the EMD's.
Love all the smoke!
Ya I love all the pollution being pumped into the air! It’s awesome seeing the sky getting filled with heavy pollution! Makes me smile!
Great sound, especially with headphones!
Thats an awesome camera you have! Both the audio and video quality are amazing. Nice job catching the 9's, they sound incredibly good!
My god the audio quality is insane! Hearing the 567C like that is absolute harmony to the ears
How well this steam locomotive is filmed pulling many freight cars along a wonderful route!
Awesome video!!!!
I could be wrong, but it really looks and sounds like that leading GP9 is the only unit cut in. I would believe it too, I personally had a GP9RM drag 125 loaded tanks uphill in the yard by itself because the previous crew left the trailing unit isolated and forgot to mention it at trade off. They can pull some weight for sure! Awesome video.
While it certainly wouldn't be out of character for Pan Am, I can definitely see exhaust coming from the stack of the rear GP9 a couple times. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the units are out of commission though. It's not uncommon for them to put 3 units on a train just to be sure one will still be working when it reaches its destination.
that smoke is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL..............the only thing that would have made it better would be if it was ALL PURE BLACK SMOKE AND TEN TIMES AS MUCH..........I'M NO TREE HUGGER...AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CLIMATE.....
I definitely agree!
thank you!
i love GP9's anyway!
Dude, you get the best shots.
Must be nice having connections 😉
It's funny, I really don't have very good connections. I have some friends who know railroad people and get me information sometimes, but I don't generally know them myself. This was pure luck, I was out in western mass visiting family and took a trip up to East Deerfield on a whim. Sadly shots like this just don't exist on Pan Am anymore.
EARTH ANGEL 😇THESE ARE NICE SHOTS! I HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO THE DEERFIELD YARD!
Nothing worth seeing now
It's like watching: The Angry Engines!
The great thing about PAS is that NS helps haul their old junkers around
Geesh were those SDs helping at all !! ?? Lol
They are Pan Am SD40-2s, although some of them do have SD45 locomotive bodies.
The SD45 looking ones are called SD40M-2.
Man, how steep is that grade? Brutal.
Lots of unburned fuel and oil in the manifolds, it gets a heavy load and it burns off because of the higher heat levels under full load.
Now the GP9's are history, the 51 was parted and scrapped, the 72,52,77 were sold to the Heber Valley RR, the 62 and 71 were parted out and are awaiting shipment to LTEX or the scrap pile.
72 went to the Conway Scenic Railroad.
They were built as SD45-2s for the Santa Fe. However they were re-engined with 16 cylinder prime movers before they were sold to the Trona Railway, which had the orange and silver paint scheme u see on two of the locos in this video
618?
@@district2productions yes
Great shots! I want to come visit this yard but I can only get out on weekends, how active (trains in and out) is it usually on Saturday/Sunday?
Aaron Smith Honestly I don't get out there often enough to say for certain. Some days I've seen nothing but a little switching, and then there's days like this.
the exaust on the first one was the best lol
Great vid! How did the "GEEPS" help start the SD-40's?
When the clip first starts is Guilford engine 51 the only engine doing all the work? Its blowing a lot of exhaust which i love and to be on a bridge with the engine belching right below you would be rush!
at 11:37 when 614 throttles up I love the engine noise.
More please.
72 was working as well. If you look closely you can see its stacks smoking but it does seem to shut down before it reaches the bridge. Sadly this isn't something that can be seen on Pan Am anymore. The last of the GP9's were sold in 2018.
@@NorfKhazad lol I thought mosquitoes like the smell of burning toast
They got sick engine
72 and 618 appear to be not running at all. Typical Guilford/Pan Am practice. Lash up extra engines because you know at least one will break down.
And now they have mostly GE junk that will catch fire.
Front Engine working way, way to hard...Horsepower completely out of sync. ...
Something way off on that lashup.....
@@CyberSoldat GE is better than EMD
@@minnesotarailfan11 Reliability? no. Rebuildability? No. Lifespan? no. There are more old EMDs in service than old GE's. Hell there are more ALCOs in use than old GEs. You saying GE's are better is just an opinion. As is mine. GE today seems to have the lead over EMD.
@@CyberSoldat I’m talking about the AC4400CWs those are reliable but if we are talking about that than sure
Man, it feels like just yesterday I was seeing high hoods leading pan am trains, but now, Conway has the last Guilford high hood from what I know, and now with csx buying pan am, soon the PAR FP9's might be history as well
I heard a rumor that NS's current management is upset that the previous management sold their F units and they may buy PAR 1&2 when CSX sells them. We shall see.
@@NorfKhazad yes we will, so Norfolk southerns f units were sold?
Yes, 2 or 3 years ago I think.
@@NorfKhazad dang, I never even got to see them myself, were they scrapped?
No, I believe they went to a couple of tourist railroads, though I don't know which ones.
There slipping pretty good at start then he gets them hooking.
Saw this great vid, again. Them "GEEPS" were "smoking" literally.
Were 619 603 SD-45-2s?
Thanks!
#604 - SD40-2 without Dynamic brakes
#603 - SD45
#616 - SD45-2
All have now 16 cyl. 645B3 3,000HP Engines
Some say the SD45 are now SD40-3
and the SD45-2 are SD40m
Nifty video. Any idea where all the reels of wire on the first train are headed?
The lead engine is doing some huffing & puffing. Great sound tho.
thts cute, a diesel pretending to be a steamer xD
@Isaacstuff No, its a blatent theft of identity
No, more like the EMD thinks it has a 10d100 engine (out of a 3te10u locomotive, from Russia) - though those smoke a *LOT* more than that first locomotive.
Little late to the party, but great video!
both of them were working
That GP9 was really coughing out the soot. Unfortunately, they're gone now.
SOLD OR SCRAPPED????
@@thomasabramson100 All the GP9's were scrapped except for 52, 77, and 72. 77 and 52 are at Herber Valley in Utah in heritage paint.
@@BranchlineGeepProductions 72 at north conway
I didn’t know PanAm Railways existed! Neat!
It does - unfortunately!!
Not for long, sadly. I'll definitely miss it when CSX takes over. It may be a poorly run railroad, but damnit it's MY poorly run railroad.
May I ask what model camera you have? Very nice images.
Yes it is a great sounds with headphones on I have a pair on so I don't disturb any one trying to watch television 📺
The 9s are the only thing on line.
Looks like 51 is the only one running. Rest were dead in tow? What's the point of hammering a GP9 like that. Was that the governor causing it to rev up and down?
Ha ha screw the EPA!
Ikr
AMEN HIGHLIFE
Only got two in the whole bunch lit up..
Its an honorary steam engine
GP9 cosplaying as a Soviet opposed-piston locomotive
Yep, pretty much!
3te10u, with 10d100 engine.
“Smoking fit for Russia…”
Guilford (Pan Am) has never had the best quality track...just look at those locos and cars rocking from side to side.
Jointed rail. They probably never saw a reason or interest in installing continuous welded rail. Jointed rail will cause harmonic rocking.
No, it is ex- Trona Railway.
is the 617 an ex FRISCO ?
Looked like it was about to blow a turbo at the 45 second mark
The EMD 567 engine is Roots-supercharged, and does not have a turbocharger. The smoke is probably from a couple of problems - damaged piston rings or power assembly, damaged cylinder liner, and possibly a fuel rack problem.
Alco says nice try rookie , I will show you how it's done 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Great trains In My Neighborhood!! - www.hooksettfireworks approves!!
Pan Am rail is not the owners the new name is Pan Southern, the new owner is NS this happened in 06, NS owns control of all former Gulford holdings
How big this locomotive when compared to CC 201 Locomotive Indonesia?
If you mean the GP9s, I think they're taller due to the larger US loading gauge, but lower horsepower and probably shorter in length.
@@NorfKhazad yeah that's what I mean, so the gauge is different in US If compare to Indonesia rail gauge? how wide gauge in US?
@@fadlitv9353 I meant loading gauge, not track gauge. Loading gauge is the size of the clearance envelope around the tracks. It determines how large railroad equipment can be without hitting line-side equipment, bridges or tunnels. That said US track gauge is mostly different from Indonesia as well, we run standard gauge, 4 feet 8.5 inches.
cc 201 classes/ GE U18C size are comparable with small US switcher locomotives
Caralho, um trem a vapor, que queima diesel 😂😂😂😂😂😂
72 was running they turned it off
51 definitely isn’t running right.
Time for some piston rings in #51
Haha yeah, either that or a new turbo
@@jetstream454 no turbo on a GP9
Money days then
they turned one gp9 off
poor gp9's the sd40's were idiling!
Sometimes grampa's gotta show them whipper-snappers how to get it done.
Blowing smoke i like it cos only with smoke does it look like a real engine.Electric type no.
At about 12:10 anyone else notice all the bugs flying around in front of 614
I think those are dandelion seeds.
wheel slip @:36
Why so much smoke? Era?
This was shot in 2011, or are you asking about the locomotives? They were built in the 1950's. As for why there's so much smoke, because they're old and poorly maintained.
@@NorfKhazad locos from that era did that sortuh thing? Still, gorgeous
@@rottkrasnyii8436 less so when they were new, but for being nearly 60 years old the fact that they were still running at all was a marvel.
I love seeing old engines like this running...But...I don't think it was ever normal for a GP9 to smoke like that...That engine could really use a little tune up on the old diesel to keep it running right!
Maintenance has never been Pan Am's strong suit.
Unfortunately many companies think PM means P;$$ing Money and avoid it at all costs ( pardon the pun)
@@crabcake43011 that may well be true about their beliefs, but isn’t that “penny-wise and pound-foolish?”
@@dennisyoung4631 Sure is.
No new train vids in a while
Yeah I haven't had much time lately to do any filming. I actually have several new videos worth of footage which I just haven't gotten around to editing and uploading yet. I'm going to try to get it done this month, but work has been crazy.
My Lungs are hurtin
I much prefer Turbodiesel EMD locomotives over roots blown
Question....What is meant by roots blown?? I admit that I'm not a typical rail fan, but lately I have grown an interest in watching various train vids. I'm at least somewhat familiar with turbo power, but the term, roots blown mystifies me. Very curious to know what that is. Can a true rail fan explain it to me?? Thank you so much, SAFE N HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
@@kevinporter6426 Hello! Thanks for your question! I am not sure where exactly the term comes from but it basically means that it is not turbo charged. Hey Siri....
Thank you, James Tyree II ! Happy Holidays n STAY SAFE,Sir!
@@kevinporter6426 you’re welcome!
@@kevinporter6426 Two-stroke diesels need some kind of forced aspiration to operate, as there is no exhaust or intake strokes to empty and then refill the cylinder with clean air. General Motors two-stroke diesel engines (Detroit, Winton/Cleveland, EMD) use a Roots blower (a lobed air pump) to force pressurized clean air through the cylinder and clear out the exhaust in an instant as the piston reaches bottom dead centre at the end of each power stroke. Turbocharged EMDs have a clutch on the turbo so that it will be kept spinning even when there is very little exhaust pressure coming from the engine (idling or low throttle), turbocharged Detroits have both roots blowers and standalone exhaust-driven turbos.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots-type_supercharger
All the OIL, probably from a bad turbo 🙄
There is no turbo on a GP9
GP 18’s and up turbo
My friend was an engineer on B&M and I was glad to see this as I modeled some places even from Dole Jct. to Keene on the Ashuelot branch.
I assume these guys are hourly ppaid as they are so slow I had to checked youtube settings as I thought the video was running in 25% speed. My GOD, they must taking this freight to China on a slowboad to China. This was painful to watch and even the death groaning waas terrible. As friends in Newfoundland I have say: SOME SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew! I bet biden was involved in this in some way!!!
It was slow because half the locomotives were shut down and they were terminating in the yard.
These are supposed to be cleaner than steam engines and I think that this pollution is worse gas burning is worse than steam vapors crazy..
