Electromotive Division's or GE's EMD technical term for the engine is a Prime Mover. They can be ordered with what spec's the Railroad wants. Only prototypes come by EMD's choice. More railroads are also going away from the DC power converter, AC traction motors do better at low speeds and are easier to maintain.
avg yes. The people who go mad with hp bring up the average. Typical? Naw. Most guys got compact cars or compact suvs with 110-150 and 130-200hp respectively today. Back when this was filmed, even less, 10 to 20 less.
Usually, short haul trains, by tonnage have 1 or 2 loco possibly of different class, but take a train 2 or more miles pulling straight tonnage for over 1,000 miles and the train could have 1-8 locos on point and still have 1 intermediate and 1-2 pushers. It all goes by tonnage and terrain. Here in the midwest, most trains can only be 2 miles long. Out west, it's a whole different game. They have mountains.
It blows my mind that people learned how to program and build machines specifically for building a particular product like this. People create machines to build or manufacture almost anything the imagination can come up with.
The reason for a diesel unit/s, called DPU or Distributed Power Unit, to be on the back of a train is for added pushing power and more braking when needed. It also is less wear and tear on the rail head. It gives the engineer a good feeling to know that he has that extra power on the end of his train when needed.
@Robin Andreasson, you need to change your settings so people can reply to your posts. Anyway "fuel driven" locomotives are also electric, the diesel engine being a generator, not actually directly powering the locomotive. They can't use a pure electric system for freight in the US or other large countries due to just that, the size and remoteness of the rail systems.
"How it works" is aimed at primary school education and the intelligent level of unemployed sofa surfers of similar iq, Works well for what its intended.
The locomotive they were building can pull a lot more than 480 metric tons. More like 9,000 American tons on flat ground. An SD-40 with its 3,000 horsepower can pull a little over 7,000 American tons on flat ground. It can also run around 50 MPH while pulling 3,000 American tons. The engine they were building can probably run 50 MPH with 4,500 American tons on flat ground. Generally 1 horsepower per American ton can run 50 MPH on flat ground.
You have to forgive them Bill, they have no concept of that kind of weight in a European train. And they have no clue as to how long our trains are. @ locos on a train? Try 4 on the front, one or two in the middle, and another one or two on the rear. All controlled by the engineer in the cab of the lead loco.
@@Ben31337l DDA40Xs often ran with a smaller unit or two. Two smaller units of today out perform one DDA40X. And they don't act as track straighteners.
@@gravelydon7072 Well, that's because the DDA40X was built using 2 SD40s. Also, the fact that you claim they were 'track straighteners' si interesting since the wheelbase between the first and last wheels should be smaller than the wheelbase cound on a regular steam locomotive. Unless the DDA40X weren't equipped with flangeless wheelsets.
The three axil freight trucks there using on the SD,s are the H,T,C,R radial truck Wich will actually steer into the curves so they can negotiate tighter radious,s lot less wheel and track wear. 😐🛤️🚆..
its funny how in the states 250 horsepower is a "regular car" where in europe a regular car is prob anywhere from 50-200 horsepower, 200 being a pretty fast car
Most of the world uses standard gauge (4 feet 8.5 inches/1.435 meters), some countries use broad gauge (>4 ft 8.5 in/>1.435 m), and some use narrow gauge (
I know the US have a massive loading gauge but is that right about the track gauge being bigger too? Loving those big American Diesel Electrics though, funny how small the class66's look next to them.
Maybe to some countries. The United States, much like Australia, the United Kingdom, most of mainland Europe & Canada just to name a few use International Standard Gauge which is 4ft 81/2 Inches, between rails. American railways are built to withstand larger locomotives and heavier trains, necessesary for the massive continent, much like here in Australia, however in Australia, our trains are larger than the UK but smaller than the US, this is to do with the loading gauge. You won't find double decker passenger trains in the UK as compared to Australia and the US because of the smaller loading gauge. All that in mind, not all countries use the Standard gauge, most if not all of Africas rail network is narrow gauge (3ft 6in), while places such as Russia use Broad Gauge which is either considered 5ft which is what Russia uses, and 5ft 3in, to me they are both broad gauge. Here in Australia, we used all 3, we have at least a standard gauge link to all states now, compared to say the 60s.
+Parkes RailwayTV Thanks for the reply and info, that's all really interesting, I hadn't thought about Oz, of course you guys have a bit of everything down there. Saw a good film about "The Ghan" a few years back, looked like some complicated mixed gauge track work for sure. We have 5'3'' here in Ireland but I believe you have a bit of that too. I knew about the loading gauge being about that actual size of the rolling stock but didn't think about the weight of it, seems obvious now you point it out. Thanks again for the reply and introduction to the way things are done "down under" Mick.
+mickfromleitrim No Worries, we have mostly standard gauge now, but within some states other gauges are used. Tasmania, Western Australia, Queensland and a part of South Australia use 3ft 6in, Victoria and a part of South Australia use 5ft 3in and the rest is Standard Gauge. We have of course the now standard gauge links, including Sydney - Adelaide - Perth (Indian Pacific), Adelaide to Darwin (The Ghan, Melbourne to Adelaide (The Overland) & Brisbane - Sydney - Melbourne. Each state of course has its own regional connections, in NSW where I live, the XPT provides connections from Sydney to Melbourne, Dubbo (Central West farm country), Brisbane while the Xplorer is more regional, with the longest Xplorer service and longest state only trip from Sydney - Parkes - Broken Hill, the NSW border town to South Australia. If these do interest you further I have filmed and uploaded a few of these trains to my channel, feel free to have a look.
In Britain, we also had many smaller lines of narrow gauge (usually around 2' gauge), and for a while in the 1800s we also had a region almost solely using 7' 1/4" broad gauge
The term "bogie" is only used in Europe and other countries besides Canada and the U.S. In North America it is a "truck", as in a truck frame assembly that the traction motor combos ride in.
A good beginning, no where near detailed enough though. For instance: why 4 large coils with 4 smaller, narrower coils in between? (stators). How is the electricity phased? Also: airbrakes? when you can rotate the electric field and cause the motors to brake? Enquiring minds want to know.
Baby Driver They use airbrakes and rotating the electric field is called dynamic braking, it’s used but air brakes are still required for all the rail cars. I’m not sure how the electricity is phased but I believe it’s 1440 volt and well over 5000 amps at each motor. It’s enough to get the job done.
Shan H Fernandes The US has plenty of oil from the middle east , as they say, y not flaunt it when u got it !!!! but in under a decade or so when the dollar gets de-linked from the oil trade , they will switch over to electrics completely ...like the rest of us
Harsha Jade I'm excited for Electric Trains, adds an extra track on the rails and stops people from walking on them! If they touch them, they are dead.. Electric Locomotives are quiter and faster anyways, which will be good for the economy and the ecosystem.
Basically the same thing, depends on which culture is referring to that term. In NA we call it trucks but in some other places they are referred to as bogies
While standard gauge is just that standard, other countries using the same or wider gauges may have trains quite a bit narrower or lighter. Powerhaul GE trains for Network Rail in Britain are narrower while in North America some locos have been eleven feet (3.35 metres) wide. It depends on the width of the station platform while the weight of the rail is determined by the expected axle load. Some rail can be upwards of 160 pounds per yard for the heaviest of trains such as those hauling iron ore or coal. 18000 tons is common. Other wise you get tracks like those in some countries that would only be found on a roller coaster in the US.
We suffer in Britain from early railway pioneers (rightly) not understanding the full potential of railways. By the time that was understood, we had a network of narrow structures. It's often said we run narrow gauge trains on standard gauge tracks!
Yep, these American locomotives then and now are standing at 16ft, theres a possibility we can even make them 17ft tall in future time. Who knows. It depends of the government would allow it, I would love to see these Giants grow.
It's both. Electric fields create magnetic fields and everything happens in right angles to each other. Hold you right hand palm up. If the electric field goes forward (in the direction of your fingers), then the magnetic field goes right (in the direction of your thumb) and the actual pulling magnetic force goes up, out of your palm.
0:25 "where tracks are wider and stronger than in most parts of the world" what a false statement, gauge in argentina is 1,676mm with 3.2m wide trains, so track are wider in my country. stronger, well, they resist corruption, that someting u.s. rail couldn't resist
When Bombardier was producing the ALP-45DP locomotives for N.J. Transit in Germany, they couldn't be tested in Germany because the rails were weaker, and were shipped untested to the U.S., so while the guage may be wider or narrower in some countries, the rails are definitely weaker elsewhere because the U.S. (and Canada, because they want to be comparable to the U.S.) rail regulations are stringent (they mandated Positive Train Control sometime ago).

No, I have no idea. I've only worked for CN (WC) in Stevens Point, WI for nine years as a locomotive engineer. Tell me, what does it mean! Illinois Crap? Inflamed Colon?
Come on man why do you have to be rude like that? Illinois central is a "still in operation" railroad but CN gained control of them in 1998 but it's CN owned IC operated, it's kinda complicated but they don't have a lot of locomotives left so it's cool to some one everyone in a while! I'm surprised you didn't even know what it was! After all you do work for CN!
Of course I know what IC means. I had the POS IC 1007 in my consist yesterday, along with the POS CN 2446 in the lead. I worked for the IC thug, E. Harrison Hunter. I know what IC means. Jeez, dude.
It really depends. Every engine has its limits. The engine's horsepower and load output is determined by the governor/fuel rack settings. The new Tier IV ACes are rated at 4500hp, but only 43-4400 is dedicated to traction horsepower. Hence why GE used the same 7FDL16 design from the U-boats up to the AC4400s and Dash 9s
Remember what Scotty said in that _Star Trek: The Next Generation_ episode _Relics_; "An engineer is wee bit conservative on paper", so it may be little more powerful.
NuttyCheerios yes, this by far has been used by EMD as far as I know, their series is the ECO series, where old locos such as an sd40-2 or a gp9 get disassembled and modified to become more eco friendly. for example, the sd40-2s 710 engine has been redesigned to become a 710-ECO Generator. thus, the SD40-2 was converted into an SD30c-ECO locomotive. another one would be a GP9, converting into a GP20c-ECO locomotive

In Britain, we also had many smaller lines of narrow gauge (usually around 2' gauge), and for a while in the 1800s we also had a region almost solely using 7' 1/4" broad gauge

@@RCassinello- Isambard Kingdom Brunel understood the advantages of his Great Western broad gage of 7'-0-1/4"!
Yep, these American locomotives then and now are standing at 16ft, theres a possibility we can even make them 17ft tall in future time. Who knows. It depends of the government would allow it, I would love to see these Giants grow.
I Love Trains be it freight or passenger
what other kinds of trains are there?...
Your welcome. I suggested they do this one episode in 2008
2:16 - Magnetic field, NOT an electric field.
WROOOOONG, its an electric charge
It's both. Electric fields create magnetic fields and everything happens in right angles to each other. Hold you right hand palm up. If the electric field goes forward (in the direction of your fingers), then the magnetic field goes right (in the direction of your thumb) and the actual pulling magnetic force goes up, out of your palm.
teacher: " no building Electro Motive Division's SD70ACE-T4 locomotives in the back " kids in the back:
Cool beans! I'm questioning about the SD70ACE's horsepower...
I heard a New Amtrak Train well make it today!
I see some CN locomotives!
One sole ES44DC
And an SD75I leading an SD70
0:25 "where tracks are wider and stronger than in most parts of the world"
what a false statement, gauge in argentina is 1,676mm with 3.2m wide trains, so track are wider in my country. stronger, well, they resist corruption, that someting u.s. rail couldn't resist
When Bombardier was producing the ALP-45DP locomotives for N.J. Transit in Germany, they couldn't be tested in Germany because the rails were weaker, and were shipped untested to the U.S., so while the guage may be wider or narrower in some countries, the rails are definitely weaker elsewhere because the U.S. (and Canada, because they want to be comparable to the U.S.) rail regulations are stringent (they mandated Positive Train Control sometime ago).
". . . than in MOST parts of the world." Listening must be hard in your country.

Did anyone else see that sick consist at 0:29?!!! IC hell yea!
U.P. railfan IC Junk!!!!!!!!!
Come on man, do you even know what IC stands for?
No, I have no idea. I've only worked for CN (WC) in Stevens Point, WI for nine years as a locomotive engineer. Tell me, what does it mean! Illinois Crap? Inflamed Colon?
Come on man why do you have to be rude like that? Illinois central is a "still in operation" railroad but CN gained control of them in 1998 but it's CN owned IC operated, it's kinda complicated but they don't have a lot of locomotives left so it's cool to some one everyone in a while! I'm surprised you didn't even know what it was! After all you do work for CN!
Of course I know what IC means. I had the POS IC 1007 in my consist yesterday, along with the POS CN 2446 in the lead. I worked for the IC thug, E. Harrison Hunter. I know what IC means. Jeez, dude.
Pretty neat. Although I question the '4500 HP' fact. I thought SD70ACe's were rated at 4300 HP?
It really depends. Every engine has its limits. The engine's horsepower and load output is determined by the governor/fuel rack settings. The new Tier IV ACes are rated at 4500hp, but only 43-4400 is dedicated to traction horsepower. Hence why GE used the same 7FDL16 design from the U-boats up to the AC4400s and Dash 9s
Remember what Scotty said in that _Star Trek: The Next Generation_ episode _Relics_; "An engineer is wee bit conservative on paper", so it may be little more powerful.
Yeah I thought it was a robot at first. what you gotta do is you turn off the sound and turn on captions.
weren't some engines were refinished re-used and put on new locomotives?
NuttyCheerios yes, this by far has been used by EMD as far as I know, their series is the ECO series, where old locos such as an sd40-2 or a gp9 get disassembled and modified to become more eco friendly.
for example, the sd40-2s 710 engine has been redesigned to become a 710-ECO Generator. thus, the SD40-2 was converted into an SD30c-ECO locomotive. another one would be a GP9, converting into a GP20c-ECO locomotive
So they do still put V 16 engines inside
What is the amperage of the welding shown on this video?
each one strong enough to handle 454 mt so like 5 rail cars?
Agreed, no way that's correct. Has to be 454,000 tons...
