My cousin on my mothers aunt side of the family was struck by a desil freight train and blew up like ziploc bag full of chicken guts. This was 44 years ago and still to this day skull fragments with chunks of hair turn up.🎉
What a beautiful sight to see and to hear. Thank god there are people out there who love and care enough to bring these pieces of history back working again and riding the rails again.
As a city boy, I remember these on country trips in the car, in the last days of Victorian Branch lines in the '70s. Looking across a paddock and seeing them towing a line of beaten up general purpose little wagons with fixed wheels and bouncing all over the place with a Guards van on the end with a little chimney. I imagined a guard in there, ciggie hanging from his mouth, boiling a pot of tea on a pot-belly stove and trying to prevent a disaster with the kettle sliding and rattling on the hot plate. I think it was about 1978, and it was almost all over. The branch lines closed one after the other.
With so many locomotives and even full trains being found abandoned and forgotten it makes me feel great to see old iron like this preserved and restored rather than being abandoned or scrapped.
Yes, very reliable simple engines. They are so reliable that the EMD 16V series 645 diesels are the choice for some large tugboats. I've seen TH-cam videos of one or two of such tugboats, with multiple engines, very impressive.🙂👍💯❤
Having spent many days of my professional life walking around Newport with the shunters there, and having had many trains moved by Y136 (as well as the occasional ride), that sound is so familiar.
Great video, I remember Y102 stored in the shed when I was there about four years or so back, good to see it fired up and running, some rust removal and a good paint job, which Seymour is renown for, will see Y102 good. The "Y" class, if my memory serves correct, used the old bogies and traction motors off the old Tait sets in order to reduce building costs back in the day?😉
I love this type of history. A train engine that is very old and still running. Keep this engine alive it's history. Fix this engine and let it run at times. People don't realize that this engine makes a lot of runs.🎉🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉🎉 It's American made with respect.
The reason why is so that Incase of a failure it's not on the main tracks. This not to delay freight or passenger Transit. Plus since it hasn't ran in a long time they have to test everything to see if it's working properly
My Great Grandfather was a Engineer on Steam Engines all his life, for the Brookville & Mahoning RR which ended up being the pittsburgh Shawmut line.. He Retired after making One Run on a New Diesel engine Out of Brookville Pa. I think around 1977. {this is a guess} i've been intrigued by Trains ever since.. I have a photo of him dismounting off the Diesel on his last Day... a Current engineer I know I showed the photo, He took me in and I got to go on a Ride on that Exact engine Many Many years after Great Grandfathers passing.. it's still being used..
I've had a Love and fascination for Trains since I was a Child . I marvel at the awesome power of Trains . To this day I am captivated by them !! Thank you for posting ❤❤❤ !!
Thanks for posting this - I wan't even aware of the centre at Seymour, so I headed up to the open day today and saw it in person, along with all the other stuff there.
Incredible that it works, thats excellent, and Wonderful to listen the Sound of the Engine. Similar machines worked in Spain. Best regards by Markus from Spain
@@duncantaylor2334honestly I wouldn’t mind a dirty and grimy Y class maybe touch up the on a few bits of paint and rust holes but try and keep it in a dirty vline livery
Mo mater where you are or what type of train it is, it's always nice to see them move under their own power again and knowing that maybe one day they will be nice and shinny again pulling coaches or wagons on a preseved railway bringing joy to many a person. Well done team.
There was an engine like that used on a small regional railroad close to where I grew up. It would sometimes sit idling for hours waiting to load up grain cars at the elevator. When it was a quiet winter night when the air was dense and the wind was right you could hear it in the farmyard like it was sitting in the yard. It's so good to see those engines still running. They may be obsolete but that doesn't mean they're unimportant or that we should forget them.
Great to see the old horse running under her own power. The sound is really nice on that old diesel. The VR paint on the black and yellow engine remind of the Erie RR paint scheme in North East USA in the mid 1950s
Some machine and I dare say some work done and yet to do! Just needing new seals on the turbo's, some new valves or the old ones cut in, some new piston rings but mainly, new fuel injectors and you're good to go...on with a new cab and body work. Great to see. We have many projects like that going on in the UK. Cheers!
when i was a young fella whenever i'd catch the V\line train i'd always try an make sure i was as close to the engine as possible even if it meant standing with the door open just to hear the grunt of the v8 diesel
An old beast roars to life once more. Y102 has been brought back after a while of being down. The condition doesn't look too good. It needs a new paint job
@@haddockface Injectors probably, but unless an exhaust valve is stuck open or a head is cracked, they’re good. They would have already known before they started it if a head seal was leaking water. Edit: They might as well change a whole power assembly if it’s leaking water out the intake ports.
Well if you ever wanted a subject to copy weathering on your model locomotives this is your example it’s got everything I’m definitely saving this video
Looks menacing with that patina. It's like a railroad version of the truck used in the movie Dual.
Killdozer!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love that movie
@@arthurmchugh5184u cannot polish devils dumplings, but can defo roll them in glitter..😊
👍👍👍
The fact that it still even exists is amazing. The fact that it can still even run after all these years is sensational.
Simple technology, no electronics, just reliable !
'93's not that long ago. Seems like yesterday to me
Almost amazing it's wheels/bearing were not rusted in place, until I saw the various dates, it had been moved etc.
My cousin on my mothers aunt side of the family was struck by a desil freight train and blew up like ziploc bag full of chicken guts. This was 44 years ago and still to this day skull fragments with chunks of hair turn up.🎉
Good heavens!
G'day from NSW. It is great to see any retired loco come to life again. Well done those who gave the old girl some life again. Mike in Oz
😁
Love the sound of those early EMD engines!!!! Thanks for the video!!!!
The sounds of a 567 based prime mover is music to my ears
It sounds like an old grain truck it's awesome.
Sounds like an old 251 Alco
Smokes like an Alco too
@@BryanPhillips-tk1km That's what I was thinking. All the EMDs I've ever heard have a turbo whine. The horn needs a bit of work on it.
What a beautiful sight to see and to hear. Thank god there are people out there who love and care enough to bring these pieces of history back working again and riding the rails again.

I agree with you, when I first watched the old iron horse i was horrified because it makes me think that the things we have are taken for granted.
Wow, 31 years. Amazing work to get it turning its own wheels again.
I'm a V/Line orange and gray era fan, but there's no denying that T382 is a classic. (Ken in USA)
Such is the resilience of diesel locomotives. Thank you for bringing us this excellent video presentation which is very much appreciated.
Made my day...and I'm in the USA. Big smile.
Ich liebe diesen Typ von Loks und ihr Geräusch traumhaft😆
Nothing compares to an EMD 567. Two-stroke cycle, 45° V, Roots blown magnificence. Love those engines.
Yes, very reliable simple engines. They are so reliable that the EMD 16V series 645 diesels are the choice for some large tugboats. I've seen TH-cam videos of one or two of such tugboats, with multiple engines, very impressive.🙂👍💯❤
Thank you for making this fabulous video. Congratulations to the mechanical staff who got this loco running.
Great weathering job ! I can easily image the thrill when the wheels started turning !
I'm an Alco person, but the resilience of these old EMDs has to be admired and respected 😊❤
Will be great to see it get some attention and a new coat of paint
Painting that engine would be sinfull
The wraspy Sound of the Exhaust Love it ;) .
This is absolutely wonderful. Beautiful video! Truly magnificent documentation of a momentous occasion. Thank you for sharing!
That is just amazing seeing this old patina covered Loco move and work like it was brand new. ^5
Having spent many days of my professional life walking around Newport with the shunters there, and having had many trains moved by Y136 (as well as the occasional ride), that sound is so familiar.
This is the locomotive that chases you in your nightmares.
OMG...just watching this video, I could literally smell the exhaust fumes!! Superb...now look after her!! ✌️👍👍👍👍.
EMDs never die! Wow
I was a shunter at Tottenham yard in the early 70’s. I’ve most likely worked with that engine.
A most satisfying video! Thank-you.
Great video, I remember Y102 stored in the shed when I was there about four years or so back, good to see it fired up and running, some rust removal and a good paint job, which Seymour is renown for, will see Y102 good.

Yes they used bogies off the withdrawn swing door motor cars. 1918 technology still going.
We must be in Australia. I’m in Chicago! Great video.

Looks like they were having a great time running it up and back. now that is what I call playing with big boy toys!

It lives!
At 7:44, that was awesome hearing and seeing it running like that.
Loved all the different on board angles.
Great video, glad the ole girl, still chugging along!!!!
Heavy metal thunder. Fantastic!
Definitely dignified decay. It sounds wonderful. 😊👍
I'm 65. I'm stealing that line for my gray hair/beard and wrinkles!!! 🤣
@ljosephdumas3113 You're welcome🙂
Great seeing Y102 at the Open Day in November. I hope it's restored in true VR royal blue and gold colours. 🙏
That's what I miss about modern locomotives - the sound.
It's SO good.
Incredible
Well above average. Magical diesel sounds.
Amazing video! And great work from the volunteers who helped repair this beautiful piece of history.
I really enjoy your videos. What a beast! Can’t wait see it for myself
Great to see Y102 has been reactivated. Looks and sounds very nice, hopefully the paint and body work will get fixed up shortly.

Bad Ass Bro… Loved seeing this video !!
I was a fireman in the 80 s i remember working 102 around sth Dyson and Tottenham yards. Thanks for the memory👍
The SOUND❤❤❤❤❤❤
A truly heartwarming experience. Thanks for making my day!❤
I've had a Love and fascination for Trains since I was a Child . I marvel at the awesome power of Trains . To this day I am captivated by them !! Thank you for posting ❤❤❤ !!
I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!!
Thanks for posting this - I wan't even aware of the centre at Seymour, so I headed up to the open day today and saw it in person, along with all the other stuff there.
Fantastic to see a 'retired ' loco back under power. Well done to all involved.
A testament to the engineers who put her together years ago👍👍👍
Wouldn't have been fun sitting out on the front platform of a Y with a beer in your hand travelling the track to Cudgewa.
Missed these coming thru my town late at night when town was dead silent , and emd was all you heard, no leaking manifold in those days
Looks and Sounds like something out of Mad Max!! Love it. Ty for your Work to get it running! 🚂
Incredible that it works, thats excellent, and Wonderful to listen the Sound of the Engine. Similar machines worked in Spain. Best regards by Markus from Spain
The next step is to get it looking nice again! Nice video mate
Nope
@@duncantaylor2334honestly I wouldn’t mind a dirty and grimy Y class maybe touch up the on a few bits of paint and rust holes but try and keep it in a dirty vline livery
Maybe one day Y102 will be given an ICE Radio to join the others on excursions
Looks absolutely perfect as it is..... Too many shiny and clean loco's out there, need some worn, grimy, dirty, rusty ones too!
It's a good pressure wash and some cab plates away from an authentic in-service look
Great job. Very nice video. Greetings from Germany, Andreas
Now that's a patina.
That's so cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for showing us the interior and Engine.
Mo mater where you are or what type of train it is, it's always nice to see them move under their own power again and knowing that maybe one day they will be nice and shinny again pulling coaches or wagons on a preseved railway bringing joy to many a person.
Well done team.
Choked it with the layshaft lever, good night little engine …
Good to see the old girl up and running 😊
Wonderful to see and hear - look forward to seeing livery restored (although I prefer blue and gold!)
Great video. I love how she sounds like an old truck.
I love the sound of a old EMD
a beast awakens!
Bravo and thank you for saving her, she is a beast that deserves a second life, she looks beautiful despite her worn dress.
Que motoron. Buena resistencia. La estructura. Restauradita. Y queda bien padre.
So glad to see a work horse back at work beautiful
Thank you. Mick Australia 🇦🇺

So cool !!it's like the train version of the truck from the movie Duel!!
I like the '80 orange and grey paint scheme,but the " classic" blue yellow also looked pretty good as well.Great vid.👍🇦🇺
Great video! So excited to see ol rusty Vline moving abroad!!
Great to see the old horse running under her own power. The sound is really nice on that old diesel. The VR paint on the black and yellow engine remind of the Erie RR paint scheme in North East USA in the mid 1950s
Looks like an old S-1 to me. Love the weathering. Cheers from eastern TN
It's a GM/Clyde E6B. It has an EMD 6-567C marine V6 and, oddly enough, GE traction motors. The engines were originally designed for marine use.
No EMD - 8 in service?
yey VLine.not surprised at all. Bit of smoke here and there. Nothing to worry about.
Some machine and I dare say some work done and yet to do! Just needing new seals on the turbo's, some new valves or the old ones cut in, some new piston rings but mainly, new fuel injectors and you're good to go...on with a new cab and body work. Great to see. We have many projects like that going on in the UK. Cheers!
That's what I was thinking too.
Pretty good for a prime mover designed 85 years ago hooked up to bogies and traction motors over a centruy old. Makes J515 look like a spring chicken.
when i was a young fella whenever i'd catch the V\line train i'd always try an make sure i was as close to the engine as possible even if it meant standing with the door open just to hear the grunt of the v8 diesel
An old beast roars to life once more. Y102 has been brought back after a while of being down. The condition doesn't look too good. It needs a new paint job
It needs a lot of boilermaker work done to cover up all the rotted steel before a DuPont overhaul can be contemplated.
@@ralfie8801 Cylinder head stuff like valves and injectors too.
@@haddockface
Injectors probably, but unless an exhaust valve is stuck open or a head is cracked, they’re good. They would have already known before they started it if a head seal was leaking water.
Edit: They might as well change a whole power assembly if it’s leaking water out the intake ports.
I'm an EMD man, myself. But, Gawd O' Mighty, that's sweet. You go, Ol' Girl! Go! Go!! (And thank you so much for the video.)
Awesome Machine Back To Job❤
love the rusted look
😊 beautiful, more mechanic than electronic, it will last longer than my car
tuuuuffffff as guts good to see it getting a run
This video just makes me happy!
Rock on!!!
What a sound👍
Nice, now Seymour Railway Heritage Centre now has a locomotive to shunt their carriages after an excursion!
Their

What a tough old beast. I love it ! 💪 ❤
Awesome
EMDs are hard to kill

Can’t wait to see it at the open day in November!
Update: I cannot go : (
