Complete Shutdown Process of a 3800 Horsepower Engine EMD SD60 Locomotive

The entire process of shutting down an SD60 locomotive from running to completely dead. The entire process can be completed at the electrical cabinet behind the engineer's seat and at the control stand, with the exception of applying the handbrake. It is much faster shutting down an engine than starting it up.
This engine is an EMD SD60 (special duty) and has 3800 horsepower. It was built in 1986.
I do not work for the railroad in any way. This footage was given to me. I have more videos ready for release. Subscribe to stay in the loop!

This guy definitely needs to make more videos on the SD60, the current 3 are awesome.

[@RYNT1157]

We are told to leave MCBs on as they are getting damaged turning them on and off as they are trip switches.

[@bfapple]

Yes I am told the same. They’re for safety, not switching things off.

[@DLuxProductions]

I agree. Large engines like this are not designed to be shutdown and started up constantly.

[@masterbower6083]

Awesome. Never knew it was that simple or that they would use the Emergency shut off to kill them. Works ether way.

[@j.b.productions8479]

EMD though if everything 😉

[@ProtoV33MK1]

Plus it probably serves as a test to prove the button is working

[@irelandbloke]

Another great video 👍

[@Fuzzynutz117]

Thanks, now I know how to turn my locomotive off!

[@thelol1759]

Yo love the videos fam! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@randomguy5563]

i like how its faster to shut of the engine then to start it up

[@link12313]

What made that extremely high pitched sound as you were shutting off the breakers?

[@DLuxProductions]

That loud squeal was a safety device alerting the engineer that it has been shutdown.

[@link12313]

@@DLuxProductions Interesting

[@GearHeadedHamster]

@@DLuxProductions Just for clarification.
At 0:34 Engineer hits the E stop button and you can hear the engine winding down.
0:42 Engine stops completely and a loud beeping starts (about 4 beeps per second)
0:54 Breaker labeled "safety devices" is flipped and an extremally loud and high pitch wine begins. Lowering in pitch as it goes on.
1:04 The wine ends and only hissing air can be heard.
I can under stand the beeping at 0:42, but are you saying the wine at 0:54 was also an alarm? Is it a pneumatically powered whistle? or is it just a system that happen to make a lot of noise?

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

Probably with a railroad company, (if you want a job). If it's just a hobby then find a train simulator of some sort, they can cost a bit but if you find the right one you can get a very realistic experience.

@@nsrailfan2035 Your a foamer

[@Vortex001_MLG]

0:55 What’s that high pitched blowoff sound? 😮

[@DLuxProductions]

A valve releasing air in the control stand. Once the breaker is turned off and it loses power, it no longer holds back the air

r.i.p headphone users 😂😂

[@swan1098]

Now how do I do that Myself? I know it's pretty hard in my area to get into the railway company. I love trains man and being around them would be twice as better. Everyone always asks for a year experience but how do you gain the experience?.

[@LegoWormNoah101]

You'd volunteer for some heritage railway that has diesels most likely

[@cooltechmysterygaming1430]

Thanks now we can shut down train like mobile😂

[@FreemanWithrow]

Ditch lite ? Think it's ditch light..

[@Sharon_McCluskey]

It would be a lot more easier and time saving if we could just start the train with a push of a button.

[@LittleJimmyR]

Not really how it works though with a (I think?) over 40 year old train

[@2loco]

What's that big fuse for beside that single circuit breaker.

[@DLuxProductions]

Not sure. Never messed with it.

[@sandrawunsh2521]

WOW!

[@drteletubby]

Does using that E-stop damage anything long term?

[@DLuxProductions]

Long term, no. Short term, it's a possibility.

[@BillCarson-g4n]

Oil pump should be left on for the turbo charger!!!

[@DLuxProductions]

It never turns off.

[@mr.sir.]

Is this the guy from the other channel who did these videos? I subbed to him a while back and then his channel disappeared. #BCRAILPRODUCTIONS

[@DLuxProductions]

No. I'm a different guy.

[@m0cafet627]

Sooo fake! That runaway train movie from the 90s told us that when you shutoff the fuel it will still run for 1000 years until it runs out of fuel in the lines!

[@k5elevencinc0]

ASMR

[@bfapple]

The sound of tripping MCBs is the opposite of ASMR for me… they’re not power switches :(

[@Retrogen_boi]

Why does the turbo have a breaker?

[@DLuxProductions]

I'm not sure. It is more than likely something that has to do with the wiring to the monitoring components.
