Hi, AJ Hinrichs, many thanks for this truly great video. I love the idle sound of the EMD 16V710 engine, I'm guessing, unless I'm wrong. Cheers and be well.
around the 12 second mark when he walks inside the engine, theres a small space before he climbs the stairs. to the right is a door that leads to a restroom, but it's more like a port-a-potty on wheels. they design them as barebones as possible.
I was debating going to see that because it was parked in Sterling Illinois with a SD70 workers up front so it would have been cool to see but my schedule did not allow 😢
@@Railfan56the sd70’s are horrible when it comes to oil use and exhaust. It’s not long before a new rebuild is covered in oil and exhaust soot those exhaust stacks and turbo are good but suck as well and when you work on them that stuff is not coming out of your clothes lol. The stack gaskets burn up to easily
First time i saw this engine at work thought it was an engine from Russia with the Star on the nose. I ran these SD70aces they were notorious for acrid toliets. Now the foamers know how to start up an engine😅
After a bit of sleuthing, it's of my judgement that the dude is a foamer who tampered with RR property. His socials state that he works for a grain company, but his photos are of him driving tractors in farm fields, trainspotting as a railfan, and model RR'ing.

Wonder if the FRA is watching your video? I thought any kind of personal electronic devices, including video recordings were a violation of FRA rules for Railroad employees while on duty?
@@opiumextract2934 Actually, I was thinking your a bird brain and you probably used to ride the short bus in school? 🤔 If you have ever worked for a Railroad, you would know that is a legitimate question, but you haven't, so you wouldn't know this, foamer..

What a boring job that would be. no wonder people jump out of Railroading jobs. Especially conductors who have to do all the dirty work. Horrendously dirty/filthy work environment. Work your a$$ off for 8, 9, 10 hours then sleep in a flea bit bed and get up to do it all over again - going back home. Blech. The pay isn't THAT good.

I don't think it's a wise idea to show the public the steps necessary to start an engine. They have no need to know this stuff. An engineer on my service unit had hell rain down on him when he posted a video of himself doing just what you've done. He got back, but was off for months.... 1.6 took him out. Just saying....

Listening to these beasts start up is satisfying.
1:10 is when the fun begins....I'm a truck driver of over 20 years & STILL ENJOY listening to these beasts start up! Awesome video!
The Sleeping Giant awakes- what a beautiful sound.
Its so comforting to hear it do its thing. My favourite one so far.
Ignore the negative comments, AJ. You did a great job and she’s a great locomotive
Looks like she could use a little love but still starts up well and is out there putting in the work. I've got this unit in N Scale.
Beautiful paint scheme on that locomotive
"Wake up Katy, time to run!"
Lol
1:09 Here’s to your answer 😂
This engine was at my yard in Mira Loma, California in 2022. Crazy how far the katy goes.
Fantastic launch of the UP Katy, thanks for showing.
Dang, sheer power. My bucket list includes engineering one of these.
Nothing sounds like pure EMD 710 Engine!!! I got to get this locomotive in HO Scale!!!!!
Echoing others, you can tell UP puts this unit to work. The wear and tear on the unit tells a story of its own. Wonder how many miles are on the unit?
Very typical wear and tear for a class 1 locomotive. They are run hard and put away wet
All of them
@@RT-qd8yl Well played!
Love how it still has a control stand rather than a dashboard set up like the GEs
GEVO’s still have control stand. Your older Dash 9’s and 8’s have the desk mounted controls.
@@jam00723 yeah not a fan of the European styled "desk" controls. Miss the old EMD cab set up where you could lean back and rest one of your feet on the heater. They also seemed more female friendly if your on the shorter side.
@jam00723 depends which company, at CN our Gevos use control stand while I believe the CPKC ones use desktop controls.
Great job. Greetings from Germany, Andreas
That sounds insane 😮 love the video! Especially since I got to catch this one a few times! Definitely subbing
She caught the KATY, and left me a mule to ride . . . 🎶😎
This was this coolest thing ever!❤
Man when those heritage engines would come to kc shop we would at least them a really good bath

Great video! Nice to see what is inside!
Waoooo Super Starting EMD Loco 😊
Damn you must have a cool job dude
Hi iam from germany nice vids🔥👍
He forgot to check if the toilet was cleaned and resupplied…lol
Lmao I think that particular engine smells like rotten ass
Stop! You probably can't start that thing up.... They make good money doing that job. That is a dream for me.
Definitely not. Every ACe i ever had smelled like rotting piss and ass
@@Jacob-Tabor He was probably making a joke about how the lavatories in locomotives are hardly ever cleaned.
it could use a good cleaning
Great video it looks like the Katy could use a touchup on the lettering
This is amazing man!!
She caught the Katy and left me a mule to riiiiiide.
Nice video!
We caught the Katy in Prescott, Arkansas back in February.
When you have a consist do you need to startup each engine individually or does the computer do this automatically.
Good Question!! seen a Trio of GE's start up in sequence once, after the first one was started, but haven't seen anything similar since.
Depends on what state of shutdown each unit is in.
If the all units are equipped with auto start/stop they will all turn on, when the reverser is thrown either forwards or backwards. Same with the DP's
yes you need to do it individually if they've all been shutdown
I liked video ❤🎉
Wow, MTH got the start up sounds right
Did she burn at some point? Looks like some scorching on the paint.
I like the video
Nice video 👍❤
Awesome Great stuff 🚂✨🦅🔝
How cool is this big diesel engine!..and everything is computer controlled now?
Very good video❤
What do the drivers do when they need to use the restroom?
around the 12 second mark when he walks inside the engine, theres a small space before he climbs the stairs. to the right is a door that leads to a restroom, but it's more like a port-a-potty on wheels. they design them as barebones as possible.
I would of like to seen the full boot on that.
Thats really cool
I was debating going to see that because it was parked in Sterling Illinois with a SD70 workers up front so it would have been cool to see but my schedule did not allow 😢
thanks for the tutorial
NICE BUT NEEDS TO BE DEEP CLEANING UP IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAB.
Yeah it's all black and grimy
Horrible working conditions, noticed that black dust encrusted vent as you come up the steps into the cab. What are they breathing?
@@Railfan56 I have no clue
@@Railfan56the sd70’s are horrible when it comes to oil use and exhaust.

Drive it, ring the bell, blast that horn!
No oil check or coolant ?
Probably did that before the start of the video.
Why is the radio missing on this one?
This was before the permanent faceplates.
No radio. Classic.
I was wondering why the radio was pulled.
I didnt realize the 70Ace’s had traditional EMD controls.
710 power!!!
What!, No written check list? That is what I get for working in the Aerospace industry for 40 years
Specification computer in EMD Locomotive pls?
no air starter?
You can hear the air starter.
First time i saw this engine at work thought it was an engine from Russia with the Star on the nose. I ran these SD70aces they were notorious for acrid toliets. Now the foamers know how to start up an engine😅
Sweet.
Gotta turn back!? No TP in the throne room!!😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My guy here claimes To the cab of UP 1988 and starts up the locomotive
Heavenly
Great video. Like me .
The engine makes a sound like "...beep - beep... beep..." -what is it?
fuel priming system, so basically the fuel pump is activating
Nice
please tell me you had permission
Listen to the launch of the mainline diesel locomotive 2te10m of Russian railways
Radio torn out, cab signals non-functional... at least it has PTC.
Clear for service!
Well, the Katy woke up time for her run
i spy an emd switcher 0:53
Ok I gotta ask (you don't have to answer lol)... You work on that or... just strolling by and had a wild thought? Lol

@@IvesGuy1118he DOES work for it
Cause literally a month later he showed a video of a cab ride in which he is running the train to load the grain
Hey this looks like Sterling Illinois
I think it was doing a coal load/dump there then heading out early in the morning
That’s a GE, I work for the former general electric plant in Erie, Pennsylvania, which is now owned by Webtec … I see they’re still running… that loco was built in Erie.
It would have been better with dialog explaining what each action meant. So do a voice over and re-release!
Didn't check the oil 🛢️
Did you actually have permission to board this unit?
No, just to start it, as long as he stood outside of it 😜
Yeah I told him he could.
yea he works for the company that loads these grain trains
Oh No, it's the Permission Police!!!!!!!!!!
No just passing through. So what
Come see lucastrainverse!

what is it because the toilets?
