Great sounds, especially the old EMD units.
I love that old school sound.
Everyone loves the old school sound and fortunately Victoria still has regular old school locos running around. Thanks for having a look
XR557 is at my depot in north geelong right now, what a coincidence haha
Love it, I know quite a few of those locos and have worked on some. I even did a lot of work to the powervan behind A62 at 7:14 about 15 years ago. Engine spruce up, new genset control system, etc. 👍. Have spent many hours at the load test platform at Newport yards listening to the engines being put through their paces (during replacement of the HEP units on the N class Locos - also about 15 years ago).
I'm seeing why this video is so popular. Many people like yourself have worked on these locos and have fantastic memories.
I grew up in a suburb of NYC during the late ‘60’s - ‘mid ‘70’s. The train tracks ran parallel to the street I lived on, approximately 200 ft or so feet behind our house and the station was about 500 ft south of us. Growing up in a musical family, sound was -and still is- such a prominent sense for and an integral part of me. I can’t exactly put it into words but there’s something about the pitch-changing drone of these engines as they notched up from the station that grabs at me. I used to compare it to the sound of violins. It is so very much tied into my memories of that time. Of course, nothing compares to hearing them live but thank you for capturing these mesmerizing sounds that are an indelible part of my childhood.
Yep 100%. There's something special about both things you mentioned. Thanks for having a look.
I’d like you to produce something like this that goes for eight hours so I can use it to sleep to. Thanks 👍
We have 2100 class locomotives up in Brisbane too. Gorgeous engine
There's something about the old locos that are still running around. Thanks for having a look.
I remember one Anzac day in Seymour. Waiting to see if any trains on the broad gauge when all of a sudden I heard a Leslie RS5T horn.
Not long after that was this amazing emd chorus. A81, A78, 2x X class, a T, H and P class nearly all but notched up and led a mixed freight bound for tocumwal.
The emd's were; 12-645e3b, 16-567e (non turbo), 16-645e (non turbo), 2x 8-645e, 8-567c
Beautiful 😀😀😀😀
This is a great upload mate. Excellent footage. I love the sound of these diesel locomotives, especially the older ones. They are serious heavy duty machines. They sound super TUFF! Extreme POWER.
Yes mate just going about their job with no fuss!
Correct. Straight down to business!
Music to my ears
Most of those Locos I drove when I was around in the Late 70's to 1990! Great memories thanks.
Thanks for looking. It looked to be a great time to drive back then.
Randomly popped up in my feed, definitley worth watching. I grew near the rail yards in Adelaide so this makes me a little nostalgic.
Thanks for having a random look.
@@Schony747 got yourself a new subscriber
Love that v16 sound, chored by a turbocharger!
Fabulous sound and a bit of a favourite amongst Victorian Railway fans
I live in Ballarat and some of the trains that go through there are amazing. Although a bit ago the gate mount functioned and a train went straight through it smashing it to bits nothing can stop these trains
Yes the Vlo made a bit of a mess!
I love it so amazing
Thanks. Ballarat Station is pretty amazing
@@Schony747 I know
That last seen is obviously quite old! The *V2* mark on the platform at Ballarat is the giveaway! Imagine a mere 2 car Vlo on almost any V/Line service now? FORGET IT!!!
2012 to be exact
There is no better sound. Awesome . . .
Thanks Rob. Yep I agree. The old stuff sounds awesome.
I believe that all the motors in these locomotives were built in the U.S. I don’t know much about locomotives in countries other than the U.S. But I do know a lot of locomotives in the US have the same sounding motors. And they were built in the US or Canada. I have seen companies like GE make locomotives and ship them to places like Australia
I love the original X series. Have had a run on a clp to dimboolah Amazing fun
The third series X is one of my favourites.
@@Schony747 there were 3 series wasn’t there.
3:24 'Yeah take that random lady!'
Probably didn't even notice the train 😀😀
T-413 with dynamics in the short hood!!
Must
lie
down ...
There is no mistaking that sound....
Yes and a brilliant sound as well!
3:38 Looks like a NOHAB AA16 to me or has EMD also licensed the FP7 model to an Australian manufacturer?
Here you go. Read all about the class. They were built under licence by Clyde engineering. Our tighter loading gauge meant the F series nose shape was modified a bit but yes the general configuration is F model. The weight is about 110 metric tons or tonnes. They were originally broad gauge 5'3". There still is quite a lot of Broad Gauge about in the state of Victoria. Note we evolved a variant of the 567 engine that was incorporated into production by EMD 50 or so years ago.
I'll give you some links to some other interesting EMD based locos built for the VR. Surprisingly quite a few are still in revenue service all over Australia and many have been converted to standard gauge and run all over the country.

A private operator imported some NOHABs (DSB Class MZ) from Denmark to Australia iirc. They have 20V645s in them but they're not US E series or F series in looks. They look 'utilitarian' which is code for ugly as your mother inlaw. You might like them lol. They are quite successful actually.

I Have a question for the train buffs out there, why does BL 28 sound so different compared to the other locos?
Thanks for that. I had no idea either.
nice 1
Thanks Mate
Great video! Mind if I use a couple of these sounds over my models?
Go ahead mate. Grab any sound files you find useful from the channel.
My favourite by far is the double S class at 5:40 followed by the 3 at 8:32
Everyone loves a good streamliner!
@@Schony747 And a 567 lol
16-645F
Yep!
The sound of EMD power
5:30 Epic
Yes even are 60 years they still sound awesome
@@Schony747 How come Australia continues to use 567 diesel engines? In America, just about all of our class 1s have gotten rid of anything powered by a 567 since the late 90s
@@floridianrailauto9032 My guess is reliability. And possibly some railway companies have a heritage fleet like the S and B classes in this video.
My kind of ASMR
Yes indeed!
Those push pull P class loco's are they both lifting the train???
Yes. Both locos are on line.
6:51 Name of that town....Ah, dear!(Ardeer) LOL
oh deer. I lost my john deer
Never fear, we tracked her(tractor) down to Rydlemeer! LOL
Yeh real funny
@@patkelly6349 Irish?
At the 8.36 mark looks like two xr's
Correct - 557 and 553
SSR units seem to burn a lot of oil!
Given their age I'm not surprised.
The first one Sounds like new zealands DFT and DFB series locos
Correct. Both EMD locos and only build around 5 years apart as well
I missed out because I was in Ballarat last week
Missed out? This is a compilation over many years.
I never knew the Victorians had diesels, I thought they were still using steam engines.
Gerry They were obviously more advanced than you thought!!
Ah, Victorian as in Victoria Australia, not Victorian as in the 1880s. Phew!
Yeah you could be mistaken with the ancient power running around 😀😀
A n class could pull the pass easy
No problems hauling passenger trains. The N also used to pull freight before passenger and freight was split
No half sends here.
Nope. No mucking about!
pool
Thanks 😀😀
I was looking forward to seeing century old British engineering, not these things out in the colony!
По работать бы на них машинистом
