  • These are some routine clips of CSXT 1723 testing in Erie. The stillness and cloud cover allowed for better sound recording.

    The sound of the GEVO-6 reminds me of the early ALCO diesels that used a 6-cylinder turbocharged 539 engine. Very cool!

    If you ever look up videos of a British diesel called a Class 20, at full power they sound remarkably similar to this thing. Love the prime mover sound on these new units but I'm not really impressed by the horn.

      KLW rebuilds older EMD units with Cummins prime motors.The ST23-T4's are actually rebuilt by GE/Wabtec despite originally being EMD SD40-2's.
      Regardless,if this was a CAT/PRLX rebuild it would've been another failure just like the SD70AH-T4's.

      @Slim_Slid 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The SD40-3's from CSX,Norfolk Southern,Canadian Pacific,and Canadian National do just fine including all other EMD -3 rebuilds.
      I'm uncertain what these ST23-T4's will present in the future though...As much as I prefer the modern GE units over the newer EMD units because of traction,the GP40-2's & SD40-2's were always perfect as is...There never has been anything wrong with the EMD 645 series for the most part...
      Because of emissions regulations,I think this is a product that's an attempt at making something "better" when it's been reliable for many years with no issue.

      ​@@thedwaynerailfans
      Nope,it's emissions regulations that's the real reason for the ST23-T4's for CSX.The GP40-2's & SD40-2's aren't falling apart,they've remained intact for many years.In modern times where modern GE units overthrow newer EMD units for good reasons,that series has continued to outlive and remain reliable compared to anything else.
      There is nothing wrong with the 645 series except heavier carbon footprint which is why the EPA made sure EMD discontinued production even though the company was already making serious mistakes and falling behind compared to GE.
      This product just might become an example of trying to make a perfect outcome better when actually it's becoming worse.
