@@eldiabl06 yes, they do. They *still* have an idle that you feel as much as hear when you get close to one, as I did in May 2021 when heading south on the Coast Starlight to LA. The way back didn’t allow me to get close enough to feel the thundering at idle, but I *did* get to see the locomotives put out some *Soot* when they were pulling hard in the foothills above Santa Barbara. You know it’s a sho’nuff *train* when it has soot, to my thinking - even if it *isn’t* a *steamy* one.
Auckland Transport is rumoured to be testing subbie log trains, to better collect logs from the suburbs wanting to go to britomart. There's even wild guesses some ferries are being converted to transport logs to the various sights and islands of Auckland.
And scenes like this is why Toronto went with their own gauge for the subway and street cars. So freight companies couldn’t commandeer their right of ways lol
They aren't modern. The overall design dates back to the 50s. These GT22 models arrived here in the late 70s, early 80s I think. Compared to the DL class, they are certainly not modern
It does not just stop at new lyn and other stations in the city it's stops a helensville that used to be part of the city link to change driver then stops at Wellsford station to change trains and to whangerei maybe kauri but beyond that it's abandoned
The ol DFT huh... (T) for turbo.. I'm surprised The Main passes through a passenger station... Dummies can just step on for a ride... And it departs really fast with no horn warning... Maybe it's different Up North... Can't beat a powering up DX tho... (C) for cab, (B) for BrightStar traction motors... ❤ I was a dummy, years ago... I used to jump trains for fun Down South.. wait under the Colombo st bridge and hop on... Never knew where you would end up.. usually Picton... Used to run and jump over the top of the wagons while they passed under me, find somewhere out of the wind, enjoy the ride... Getting on was easy, getting off was painful.. if the train slowed but didn't stop and you wanted to get off, well you lowered yourself to ground level, started running like fuck in mid air, caught up with the ground, and hoped you didn't get a face full of ballast... Or went under... I ended up working for KiwiRail for 4 years... Heard some ugly ending stories, so I don't recommend jumping trains... 😢😢
Dont know why some of y'all cain't tell its an EMD645 by its "zing zing" sound at idle. The NZ "T" model is prolly 2400hp. EMD's, strong acceleration; here is one in India; EMD710 (WDG4 model) at 4500hp, pulling strong - goes to notch 8 in several seconds. th-cam.com/video/lyZ1l7mNum0/w-d-xo.htmlm30s
TrainMan,Jozair From what I’ve read, they originally had non-turbo 12-645Es which is why they sound somewhat like GP and SD38s. They eventually were rebuilt with 12-645E3Cs.
Running along side I can see, routing around a passenger station makes sense, but running right through the passenger station? Just does not seem right. Some passenger may get the idea to ride the lumber train.
Not really much choice. New Lynn station took years of development and this is the main line to go to Northland. All of the Southern Line stations lie directly on the North Island Main Trunkline, so goods trains pass multiple stations. New Zealand is a small country and our railway is not overly profitable (if at all) compared to overseas railways, so we make do with what's here

You really have to stand next to these things to feel the absolute terror of pure power
When you can physically feel the power.
yes a DL did that next to me not long ago 3600hp
Amtrak P42 has that kind of Engine. You feel it as much as hear it.
@@dennisyoung4631 i thought they had GE prime movers

He launches that thing, damn
Holy shit that thing got up fast at the end!
There are 2 types of people watching this.... 1 train lovers, 2 lo fi artist looking for background noise
And me, the guy who wondered if there are turbocharged trains lol
and third want to be locomotive master
The actual sound starts at 3:00. Third type Turbo Lovers...
The New Lynn trench is a great sound shell. Awesome sound
Damn that sound of engine and turbo
Thank you EMD for this great sound ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😘😘😘😨😵😵
From tunisia 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
Yes indeed pal , 645E3 is a piece of heaven , I join you in saluting , and thanking EMD for all it's master pieces of magic .
I just love that DFT sound! Good acceleration too
andyrh9 they sound all the same
Abe Coulter not necessarily. I’ve noticed the DFT, DL, DX and DC have different sounds. Different engines.
The real magic starts at 3:00

diesel rumble: check
turbo whistle: check
Impressive notching.

That got up and went real quick. Granted that wood isn't that heavy and he has 2500 horses up his sleeve for a short train...
Reflex Photography NZ 2500 isn't a lot of power, for what looks like a relatively modern locomotive

The wood plus cart are a few tonnes each surely.
@@HotForgeChaos the second DF class was first delivered in 1979 and after a while they where upgraded to DFTs then DFBs
Epic sounds sad to see its brothers being withdrawn
At least 13 truckloads of wood. even with them 13 trucks at 500 hp ea wouldn't be able to do this acceleration of this 2500hp loco
Outstanding!
Buen vídeo, el sonido de la maquina a tope! gracias!
believe it or not, that engineer pushed throttle really hard and for forks,thats sd170ace or indian wdg4d all have same engine.
Oh god , that was nice.
It does not just stop at new lyn and other stations in the city it's stops a helensville that used to be part of the city link to change driver then stops at Wellsford station to change trains and to whangerei maybe kauri but beyond that it's abandoned
this is equivalent to a launch control of a diesel sleeper but train version xd
Oh so glorious!
That's friggin fast😳

Damn that was fast
friggin awesome
Dang he took off
126 liter v12 turbo?
What size gauge?

yeah wdp4 is legit.
Great video!!
"ALLLL ABOARD! No...wait! Wrong train!" - Why ITF is a train carrying timber stopping at a passenger train platform??
Waiting for the signal
The engini in it is EMD 645 or 710? sound similar to American EMD locos
12-645E3C
3:08 when you realize your going to be late
Que maravilha
Nice
Hahaha.... that was badass.
This reminds me of the Australian locos that have emd 12-645e3c's that do this on a daily basis
do they still run trains through the western line (freight)
storms damaged the line so it is needing repairs i think they said around December
@@CarAudioGuy21 Ah sweet thanks for letting me know,
Holy shit!
It Sounds lika a GP/SD38, with a GE Dash9 Turbo!

That seemed to pick up speed fast lol
Come to the United states I show you some train engines
Nothing else in the world like a consist of Aces pulling their guts out for you in notch eight.
Nope & get shot
2:27 Can't read the number, can you zoom in a bit more?
I don't think you have heard a DB taurus yet...
Tren corto
It gain speed very fastly
And then he had to slam the brakes on 5 minutes later because he had reached the other end of the island.
2:28 Train booty😆💥
What station is this?
New Lynn, Auckland, New Zeland
Is that train on the right track? What's a lumber train doing in a passenger station?
In new zealand and Australia. our freight train lines run along side passenger lines
Running along side I can see, routing around a passenger station makes sense, but running right through the passenger station? Just does not seem right. Some passenger may get the idea to ride the lumber train.

Meter gauge or broad gauge train?
3'6" or 1067mm gauge, referred to as narrow gauge or sometimes Cape gauge
Good acceleration...must be pretty dry wood😜
emd 710 sounds a bit better
This engine is based on emd
Of course it's an EMD
NZ trains are overpowered and under cart.
Wtf!!! 😵
Emd
