- Turn up the speakers. I can't find anywhere on the net, the sounds of the 5000hp MK5000C's that are not rebuilt, and still have Caterpillar powered at the time. I would just LOVE to hear what four of these babies would sound like together. This is part II in the "Listen close, and you can hear that 5000hp Cat growlin, PART I" clip. • Listen close and you c... . Along with six units in the lead, we are cutting in a six unit mid-train helper set at Martin, Utah, which can be seen in the clip "Soldier Summit Grade??? 36000+hp can handle it". • Soldier Summit Grade 2... . You can hear the Cat grumbling at several times, and its sounds great. Video was taken Aprill, 2001. Thanks for watching, Jackmp294.5™...

Surprised you didn’t see engine parts flying out of that Cat. The NS Cat rebuilds actually did that on multiple occasions, hastening their retirement after only 1-2 years of service.
1:57 after the horn. I heard a Cat growl softly.
I love it.
3:15
There's more!
Thank you, so much. Here I am in 2021, 10 years later and 20 years after it was taped, enjoying Caterpillar music. This is the good side of TH-cam.
Those massive turbos singing never ever gets old...
A unique engine sound for sure! Cat may be able to produce good engines for bulldozers, but they can’t handle the stress of railroad service, running for up to 90+ days straight without being turned off.
Damn i love the sound of the SD40-2, nothing else like it. And that's amazing,to hear that big 5000hp. Some big power there, a real classic.
I miss the days of hearing the SD40-2 going by, nothing else like them!
Love the whole soundtrack of this and those horns....music to the ears!!
What sound! You can feel the weight of the train just hearing the track creaking and buckling that. Great video.
Eepeoepeeoeoeoeoeoeoroeoeoeoeoeoeopepoeorr9020200200pppoppppppppp,,.....yi
At around 4:00, engines really sound good. Great on home stereo! Thanks for nice footage!
Love this power. I did catch Utah Railway #3000 as it was DIT rolling through PA. And Im sure Ill never see another. Awesome video
Throttle up sounded great, but I personally also like the down throttle , when you hear those turbo's drop.
That is some doggone fine footage you have there!
Thanks Merle. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...
Man, those Morrison-Knudsen engines are strange-looking. Got to love that growl, though.
Thank you !! Thats something ! Have not these amazing Creatures here in Norway ! Love these immense Locomotives and Trains
I think Norwegians are people that love freedom, and love beautiful things even if their country is a socialist one....that promotes (like all socialist countries do) electric trains, cars that have lower consumption, energy saver light bulbs, and so on....but in my personal opinion I think norwegians are people that long for a good old fashion capitalist regime were you can consume as much as you want as long as you have the money to pay for it. I know for sure that is what I want!
Awesome engine sounds!
¡ Que hermoso tren minero! , liderado por la 9010 de UR, en un áspero terreno, conforman un video muy ferroviario. Muchas Gracias.
Awesome. Great sound.
i love that sound very good catch!
beautiful horns and the sounds of them cats!!!
Love that sound! Sounds so mean
Hell yea!! great vid! and CAT POWER FOREVER!!!
''WOW'' i never knew there was a utah railroad do they ever work with other railroads i know UPRR does a lot of work around there . great video. thank you for sharing.
I hadn't heard of these locos before - very interesting!
They didn't last very long Rory. Lots of problems, so SP dumped them. Utah ran them less than a year before they were sent back to be rebuilt with EMD prime movers. Thanks for watching.
This sound is like music to my ears
It sure is. Just love that sound. Thanks for watching...
Cat is best heavy engine mechanic in USA
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi From what I understand, It was crank shaft problems that done them in... Thanks for watching.
Really neat video.
Thanks Lewis. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching...
Yea, I was wondering what happened to double track main territory that I'm use to seeing with Utah Railway?
i love CAT ^.^
What would the weight be in total being pulled by the six units
gotta love that Cat motor!!!!!!!
It's always nice to see something on the Utah! I have VHS video on the MK5000c's, as delivered to the UP in Nampa, by MK; all 6 together! Only thing is that I have to do a live recording from the tv on to my digital camcorder, and it loses video quality. The sound comes out okay, but the video is not so sharp.
Sample , go to my videos and see my "UP3985 chase" videos. If you can live with that, I'll dig out those vids, and copy them the same way.
Let me know either way!
I can clearly hear that kitty cat purr. I wonder ,since Caterpillar bought out EMD,if they are going to screw up EMD engines by incorporating Cat engine technology ?
"Don't fix,what ain't broke"
Wow...up close and honest !
For sure. And now they are all gone. What a shame! Thanks for watching.
Thats what i heard aswel, something to do with a lubrication fault coupled with poor shell bearrings would ultimately lead to crank failure.
GREAT HORNS AS WELL!
Scott Ewing, the cats where replaced by the prime movers out of some old up sd 50's, as well as the long hood.
Those MK5000s were rebuilt with EMD hoods, we're they not? I believe they were ex-Up SD 50 hoods.
:OOOO
You catched an in motion air starting!
Awesome
It amazes me that ONE GE 90 -115 jet engine makes four times the power of all six of those locomotives
That sounds amazing. I just subscribed also.
EXCELLENT LESLIE RS3L HORN!!!!!
Standard SP equipment for over 35 years.
SP's standard was the Nathan P3, and on older engines such as F units they used M5s.
Awesome!!
Thanks Shawny, and thanks for watching...
Clatterpillar at work!
“… a WildCat did growl…”
You can hear it best at 3:14
the emds all sound like a bunch of bees but the other one sounds almosy like an alco
...and every bit (or more) as unreliable. That's why SP dumped them back to M-K, which wen tout of business and these got bought by URR for a song. I think most of the 3616s are gone, replaced by 16V645E3s, making these thing essentially an SD45 in a different wrapper and different electrical system.
Cool!
I saw one of those SD60M's or whatever those were, in Colorado, UNPATCHED, on a short line freight.
The Caterpillar diesel must be a 3608 or 3612
I GOT TO DO WORK ON THE AT&SF 5855!
THIS WAS A SD-45-2 THAT WAS REPOWERED AS AN EXPERIMENT TO GET BETTER FUEL MILEAGE THE ENGINE USED WAS CAT 3612!
THIS EGINE RATED AT 5000 HP, BUT WAS DERATED TO 4300 HP ACCT THE EMD TRACTION GENERATOR AND TRACTION MOTORS COULDNT HANDLE IT! THEY LATER DERATED TO 3900 HP CAUSE THE EMD COMPONENTS COUDNT HANDLE
4300 HP! PERSONALLY I WOULD HAVE USED GE TRACTION ALTERNATOR AND
752-AF TRACTION MOTORS AND LEFT THE HP AT 5000 HP! EVEN SO THE 3900 HP SETTING WAS AWESOME COMPARED TO A 20 CYLINDER 645 EMD ENGINE AT 3600 HP!
THE RESERVE POWER WAS THAT IF THERE WAS A BAD WHEELSLIP INCIDENT, AFTER REGAINING HER FOOTING WAS BACK TO FULL HORSE POWER IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS!
IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH A 645-20
IT WOULD TAKE 16 TO 20 SECONDS TO REGAIN FULL HP! IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS THE CAT GAVE 10 TO 15 PERCENT BETTER FUEL MILEAGE!
That is some great information Ross. Very interesting, and thanks for passing that along. Thanks for watching...
10 to 15 percent better fuel economy adds up to a let less money spent on fuel. No wonder they tried the cats out.
I like the horn
I always thought they sound like a Popcorn Machine.
what engine model is 5003 at 3:12 and when was this video filmed
Chi ca That is the MK5000C Caterpillar powered engine..all the others are EMD SD40 units
I have a question for my rail family. Why are some of the engines facing the rear? What is the purpose? 🤓
From a mechanical standpoint, there is no front or rear to these engines and they run exactly the same in both directions, so they can be spliced in to a set of engines with no regard to which way they are pointed. That's a good thing, considering that there's usually no place to turn them around. All the units are "plugged in" to the lead unit so that they all function together as one, single, big locomotive under the control of the engineer who is in the cab of the lead unit.
Great throttle down!!! - 3:50
How many locomotives do u need 2 pull this train.
Patrick Conroy this train had 12 locos.
I love Catapillar
I don't, I I used to work on the damned things. Cat's a crap company to deal with, as well.
Well that's your opinion. Every cat representative I've met has been incredibly nice, and for the most part they stand by their product. Other companies like John Deere don't and in multiple areas they have given their customers a lot of crap about fixing their machinery. Maybe where you live customers don't take care of their equipment and, The cat representatives have to blame somebody, so I guess you were stuck with having to take up the slack.
Interesting that the colors are reversed UP yellow-gray-red. Even the font is the same!
Oh Yeaaaaaa!!!!!👍
why are some facing backwards?
All depends witch way they were facing when they need to hook up the power. To much trouble to turn them. Thanks for watching...
was these locos from australia ex bhp or pilbara locos ?
No. They were built by MK for the Southern Pacific. They didn't work out for the railroad, so they were sent back to MK, gone over, and sent to the Utah Railway. Thanks for watching...
cool thanks the locos wil be nice in australia our nr class locos are just nothing but trouble and junk
Thats not good. That will make a maintance nightmare if they are junk.
the nr class seem to brakedown catch fire or have tractionmotor failures
Them some full grown cats there
That they where Chad. To bad they didn't work out. They sounded great, and when they dug in, they sound like they ment business. Thanks for watching...
nope those are not CAT 30 engines UTAH Rail had MPI gut them in July of 2001. these engines are on their way back to MPI where they will be converted into MP50 switchers.
Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography Your wrong on your date. Utah Rwy tested, and then purchased the MK5000C's in 2001. In these videos, they are still the Caterpillar powered units with the Cat 3612, V12, and have not gone back to MPI at this point. When they did returned rebuilt from MPI they where classed as MK50-3, not MP50 switchers. The 1st one to return from MPI as EMD powered was #5005 and that was in July 2003, with the others returning to service as late as October 2003.
jackmp294.5™ yup
Listen @ +3:16 !!!!! GRRRROOOOWWWWLLL!!
Rob Garrett you are right that train is growling like crazy mad
no they are 4 stroke engines. and sounds better.
CaT sounds like an old UK English Electric engine.....
Can't compare modern diesel engines with English Electric which were built over half a century ago... they were powerful and reliable units in their day.
Cat was so successful with construction and highway truck engines it is too bad they could not get them right for the railroads
For sure. Don't know what the issue is in locomotive use. Many manufactures like MK, FM, EMD (with the SD45's) and some others had problems. Mostly crank shaft related.
They were great truck engines until emissions got tightened......The Cat 6NZ was a flat out beast of a motor....Then came the ACERT twin turbo and I won't even go there.
Where were you at 3:11?
That was at Martin UT. We went to the railroad to sign a release, as this
is private property here.
jackmp294.5™ Ok, thanks.
@generationll It was a 3612. Thanks for watching...
All these locos together have a lot more than 5000hp.
+peter schiller That is correct Peter! About 19000hp all together. All the locomotives are EMD powered = 14000hp., but only one locomotive is Caterpillar powered, and just that one locomotive makes 5000hp all its own. So like the title says! "Listen close, and you hear that 5000hp Cat crowlin". You can hear the difference of the one compaired to the other five. Thanks for watching...
+jackmp294.5™ Yeah...it's the one heaving all that oil smoke.
jackmp294.5™
sorry, not sure what EMD is or Caterpillar.
I see 6 triple axles, not all Locos are belching out diesel exhaust.
please explain
@maineboy1979 Typical Cat! Sounds like they have marbles in the engine block...
Looks similar to the 69 Centenial . . .
That's nasty.... If you mean at 3:16 LOVE IT! Nice throttle down around 3:48 You should identify the unit in question by number? 5003?
+JungleYT that is the one that has the CAT Engine in it and my dad owned a D4 Bulldozer and i can tell it from the rest and 5003 has the Cat engine in it
+GRE “Autopilot” 2057 Got it... #5003 Thanks
Tell cat go hang out with there chinnese buddys
It was intreasting but it is hard to hear any loco as long as a EMD loco is part of a train. Even a newer SD70 will drown out the sound of any loco.
BTW Thanks for posting
don't you mean 35000 horsepower
Actually Trever, its 37100 horsepower. There are 8 SD40's at 3000hp each, MK 5000 with 5000hp, F45 with 3600hp, GP35 with 2500hp, SD20 with 2000hp. Thats a total of 37110 horsepower. But who's counting?
Too bad those big Cat engines didn't make a go of it. I heard they had main bearing problems. Not many engines can withstand the test of railroad service in the U.S. I always like to say if engines can take the beating of railroad service they can more or less work anywhere.
i looked at those cranks decades ago and decided there was a pogo oscillation that probably arose out of the crank throw configuration. i believe the consecutive throws in the same direction probably made that worse. now i want to go dredge around for old engineering prints, but i'll probably just go to bed.
I certainly would have loved to see the Cat 3600 series make a go of it in the railroad industry. I wonder why Cat just didn't use their C280 series rather than the EMD 1010 engine. virtually the same size.
@@markrhuett It was not fully emissions compliant when 1010 was being developed.
To Bad that Engine Failed and Wasn't Reliable
At 2.50 the hills shows the sedimentation and erosion from The Flood 4,300 years ago.
Cat has NEVER been able to field a successful RR prime mover, going all the way back to the D-17000 and before. And now they own EMD? Well, that's the end of THEM! They just do NOT "get it."
those were kinda my thoughts as well
broken4813 The MK-5000s that SP bought originally (a desperation play on their part, really) failed because their Cat 3616s simply failed in service, . I've worked on 3500 and 3600-series engines...I do NOT recommend them. The transit roads are buying the new Cat prime mover...it should be interesting to watch. The freight roads know better.
if I'm not mistaken, the CATs in the MK5000c's suffered from crankshaft issues right ??
+broken4813 Yes they did...another Cat failure in the RR market. That also happened with the 3516s in SP'S GP9C experiment. As Alco found out with their 244 disaster (and "Boss" Kettering so rightly knew when taking a look at replacing the cranky Winton 201A), common thurst and moment actions of typical railroad service are a LOT different than sitting in a power room somewhere in genset service. I should also point out that the much earlier Cats in RR service also faired badly...the D-399 comes to mind as yet another Cat failure.
DeserT BoB I think the whole reason they bought EMD is because they can't make a prime mover and saw the light fading in the tunnel..then they reverse engineered an EMD prime mover and hoping for a voila
