The shear brutality of that brilliant sound from the mighty “40’s” is truly incredible!!.....pure EMD muscle at its best!!!! 🇺🇸💪👌...........they certainly don’t make power like that anymore 😔
Having also heard GE chug and Alco warbling up close (and Baldwins in video), I have an appreciation for all of them. It's like ice cream - I have my favorite, but some days I feel like changing the flavor up a bit. That said, this clip is one of my personal favorites.
Boy O' Boy.. Sounds like me today.. I am pushing my P&S camera to the limits and need an SLR to continue, and my camcorder is aging, tripod is wearing down, scanner is about to bite the dust, still 15 and can't find a darn job. Boy do I wish I was alive back then and there..
the 6660 - 6669 I believe were the only 45's that were helpers in the early 90's, by then they were gone.. I'm surprised by that, figured you'd have some dirt on me being and oldie moldie fan. Haha.
8 years later and I still love this vid!
BoringTrainFilms same lol, nothing beats the humming of an EMD imo.
NOW 12 years later!
Wow! Outstanding EMD sound!
A fantastic sound!

Those SD-40's scream like that shoving ore into Beth Steel dumper. EMD's rarely let you down.
SD40-2's, some of the finest diesel locomotives ever made.
Awesome power emd baby!!!! 5*
WELL, MTH certainly did match the sound on those!
Hard to beat the sure-footed SD40-2 !
thanks
This line will probably always be used haha
I've never heard EMD's scream like that before.
I don’t care what anybody says,those Turbo Charger EMD were impossible to beat as far as the sound factor is concerned

@@FastFlyingVirginian Good Job Film,
I miss CONRAIL...
Roaring up or down Delaware river in the 70s 80s 90s 2000s
You have any videos back of the straight 40's and SD45 helpers?
More than likely just cooling the traction motors with the high idle.
