They’re designed for that, watch some load test videos, locomotives get left in notch 8 for quite some time, when under load they can be left in notch 8 basically until they run out of fuel
@@stretchlimo7275 In hindsight you're saying that these things can be left in notch 8 nonstop until they completely empty the tank of diesel? Well I'll be damned lol
You ain’t got the full experience until your under a overpass with a 70 series and the hogger is shoving a long string of cars into a yard with a AC4400CW and a ES40DC behind that 70 series. The 710 will drown out the GE’s.

Crazy epic to hear the engineer let it rip all the way to notch 8 like that. Them 710s can take the beating no doubt.
I’ve had to have an engineer do that a few times to help charge the air lines faster trying to diagnose an air leak.

Its so satisfying hearing those EMD SD70MAC's throttling up
If I ever wondered what a flux capacitor starting up sounded like, I would picture the sound of a 710 prime mover cranking it to the 8th.
The sound of the EMD 710 accelerating is probably one of my favorites
Same🔥
electronic music ❌ electro motive music ✅
Listening to this on my studio monitors, the deep rumble from the engine is amazing.
Engineer: "Hehe 710 go BRRRRRRRRR"
More like “Ying Ying ying…”
That's a little more than charging up the train air!
Great! Did you know the Engineer?
We may have uh.... called in a little favor on that one. 😎
That idle is so nice n smooooooth
Now if I can get a hour loop of that.
love the artwork at 4:38!!
Like music to my ears! 👍🏾😎
All he’s doing is revving up the engine , the brakes are applied and the locomotive isn’t loading
great video ❤❤❤❤

bro that’s crazy
Might drown out the rattles in the cab
Why would he be notching up without moving?
Because we asked him to. Lol
Notching up is part of the job....charging compressors, testing load output etc. Nothing unusual.
We asked the engineer to put it through its paces for the camera. He had the time to spare so he gladly obliged.
Just a quick load test.
Ah, now i have the anwers !
Was wondering too, what the notch up and all that was, for just two locos! They can move on even while idling 😃
It is like wdp4d loco indian railways
EMD way better than any GE
their both still bad in their own way anyway
Any day 😊
