- I got out of work and headed towards Columbia. I made my way to Andrews Yard and saw NS 191 still working the yard. Soon enough, I found out Josh Nance was at the controls. While they were still working the yard, Josh told me to pull over by the tower so I could record him getting the second unit fired up. This time, it would be a GE ES44DC. Sit back, relax, and listen to that 4-Stroke GE GEVO-12 Prime Mover coming to life! Enjoy!
*Skip to 4:10 or 4:40 if you get bored.
Goddd gevo coming to life gives me cold chills
There's nothing like it!
This has to be the first GEVO startup I've ever heard that actually sounds like it's alive and has a soul
You can say that again! It kind of sounds like a dragon waking up!
Truth, @@RailfanDaniel1997
I think this one is an fdl, not a gevo
What a monster machine
Yes, siree! They sound like living beasts in a steel carbody, too!
sounds like a monster waking up
Yeah, it does a little! 🤣
Sure makes a great low frequency noise.
God bless America
Takes about 5-10 minutes to get a diesel locomotive fired up and ready to “punch in”, whereas it took about 24-72 hours to get a steam locomotive ready to “punch in”. My knowledge of locomotives is not that extensive, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
German baureihe (class) 215/216/217/218, also known as the V160 family took 5 minutes 😁
A typical modern diesel (made in the last 30 years) that is still warm can be started up and ready to pull freight in about 2 minutes. If it's been shut down for days there are a few extra steps, but still only a few extra minutes.
More like 5-10 minutes from a cold start, mainly you’re waiting on the computers to boot up
Awesome video!
Wow! One hell of a lungs startup sequence. What are the what do they have to do? Holy cow and then the payoff was disappointing. Didn't even sound now that great.
Wow Daniel, as a GE guy I love this, if you look closely, 7529 has an odd P5 horn
Yup. Too bad it didn't lead out, though. I looked at videos of #7529. She has a sweet P5!
Holy shit fuck we got a P5 and we have given the train a gender
What's odd about it? Looks like a normal P5
What microphone did you use for this?
4:07......thank me later.
I put the skipping time in the description.
@@RailfanDaniel1997 Just now, yes lol
Nice.......
Good
Liked and subscribed!
I appreciate it! I returned the favor!
@@RailfanDaniel1997 Thank you! Much appreciated!
Lucky with a P5!
Yeah. Not to mention, I recently got that one leading! I just have yet to post it.
@@RailfanDaniel1997 let's see it!
5:08 oooouh yeah!!
Yup! He said, "It's alive!" And I replied back, "Ohhh, yeah!!!"

thats a es40
It was originally an ES40DC. They've since been uprated to 4,400 HP and are now classified as ES44DC's.
Wrong locomotive.. es40dc..
It was originally an ES40DC. It was updated to 4,400 HP and is now designated as an ES44DC.
Its a 44dc
It does put out 4400 now. NS originally wanted them to top out at 4000 to prolong the life of the prime mover. They did the same with their first batch of dash 9s. They're just too cheap to relable them. All the standard cab dash 9s are AC44C6Ms now and are essentially the same as AC4400 CWs.
really u had to ruin the vid with that stupid oh yeah 🤦♂️
EMD smokes ge.😅😅😅😅
