My dad remembers seeing the old GEs as a kid (U30s, U33s, and so on) and he called the "lug-lugs" because of their distinctive exhaust note. At the time he didn't know what they were other than they sounded vastly different than the first gen EMD units he saw more frequently.
Somewhere with wooded hills and small mountains. Eastern US, someplace like Pittsburgh, Pa, but could be a lot of places with hills east of the Mississippi.
That's what I love about these U-boats... it's the most pure, unrestricted 7FDL sound you can get...
Maybe, but it's hard to beat the roar of an EMD 2-stroke.
@@andywomack3414 Agreed. I hope to someday hear a proper 567 in person, or even a non-turbo 645.... love me a roots blower under load.
@@Kudlaty771 I practically grew up and worked among those early generation EMD's.
@@Kudlaty771 Australia still has a few 567s running and lots of 645s in operation.

Nice,used to love hearing the old C30-7's in notch 8 pulling up grade with a long train.
Recently got a Rapido U25B and it’s insane how close the actual sound is to the real ones 😯
I can imagine, Rapido makes wonderful models.
Yup, this *was* what I recall. It was thunderous, and there was some *soot.*
Gotta love that chug.

Why didn't they enter the truck market?
Engine size was too big,for a truck.
@@Joe-d7m6k I meant GE making an appropriate sized engine of course, like a 6-15 liter engine sizes, not this exact engine.
Sounds a lot like a 251.

❤❤❤ 👍👍👍 😁😁
Still not as impressive as the EMD locomotives in notch 8 , nice catch though.
all GE's sound better than EMD's in Notch 8
The chug is too iconic, I prefer GE over EMD any day.
GEs sound better than EMD
Try a non turbocharged Alco RS-11. There's some raw power for you!
If these had been invented before steam engines trains would have been called chug chugs.

Thought these had 16 notches?
The early uboats did, but all the half notches did was speed the engine up while keeping the previous notch's power. Rebuilds eliminated half-notches.
Where is this, lot of grain cars around.

Your soooo close to 500 subscribers, best of luck. We are trying ourselves to get to that point. We love our train videos in Clemson, SC. Go Tigers!
Who in the hell film this..
whats so wrong about it anyway
Me
he means did you fall off the roof?!
@@TomPauls007 who knows if it fell off?
I didn’t think any U23 B’s were even around anywhere
Think someone had all of the ones the Southern ran back in the day.
