I love the sound of ol 3098! One of these days I hope to get a chance to fire up an old 2-stroke EMD. They make such a glorious mechanical noise!
It certainly is a good sound for sure Shane, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Just wanted to let you know Dave. I really appreciate you taking us behind the scenes of a working railroad and showing us the things that you and everyone else does to keep it going. Keep up the great work and awesome videos! ✌️
Go Eagles!
Thank you DaRealPhilly Jawn for the kind words, glad you are
enjoying the behind the scenes videos. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
@@varrick1226 GO BIRDS !!!! 🏈😁😁

Go Senergy!
Seconded that.
It’s Alive! It’s Alive!!! And the beast is ready to work… and so is the locomotive!.. fun to see that start up Dave…
It certainly is Paul. Was in the warm shop all night and started
pretty easy, these old emd engines do like their warmth, hard to
start when cold tho. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
65 years ago I would have given half my Baseball Card collection to be on that Loco, and the other half to push the start button..........now, I would probably trade one of my old saws..........but watching is the next best thing...thanks Dave
Even your 1961 Mickey Mantle card Mike? I actually still have several
of my MM cards from back then, don't know what in the world I
will ever do with them tho. Glad you enjoyed and we do appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
@@ccrx6700 ....even the 1956 Duke Snyder...
Love your no nonsense video's Dave / Thank you
You are welcome Bowdoin, glad you enjoyed this one and thanks
for the nice comment. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Boy, I love love love the sound of an EMD firing-up! 😍👂👂 That's just a treat. Thanks, Dave!
Glad you enjoyed this short little clip Scotty, not a whole lot of
fans have ever seen the actual start up process, it's really pretty
simple and this one was more special because of the SP unit for ya.
Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
@@ccrx6700 🤠👍
What a absolutely 💯 cool video on start up ...enjoyed 👍 Darrell
Thank you Darrell, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
More steps have to be taken to start an old locomotive like the SD40-2, from what I saw in the video. But after all the prep, oh, that wonderful rhythmic sound! That locomotive was the backbone of American railroading. A true workhorse of the rails.
If this loco had sat out int he rain then you are right, it would need
to have the pet cocks opened and engine turned over before trying
to start, sure wish I had put that in the video. But this was kept in
the warm shop all night so didn't need to do that videonut. Very much appreciate your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Fantastic video Dave, I like it! Never know what to expect next! (Dave).
Thank you Dave, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Awesome installment Dave! I love these old EMD workhorses!
Thank you Eric, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
taking the time to check out the video my friend.
@ccrx6700 You're welcome Dave! 😊
Beautiful sound right there. Thanks Dave
You are quite welcome Pappy, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
"ALMOST" The same procedure that I use to start my 70' Volkswagen beetle.. 😆 Be safe Dave, ✌ And thank you sir,
😂
You are quite welcome Renegadebt, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
*_Oooohhhhhh yeah... Something real satisfying about that..._* 😁💪
O Yea you right in that David. Most folks have never seen the
actual start up procedure for one of these locos so was glad I
could share it. It's really a pretty simple procedure. Appreciate very
much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
What a great sound!
I love the alligator clips in the panel.
Those clips are for a hand held radio battery charger Michael.
Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
The locomotive has begun locomotion
Everybody's doing the locomotion, wasn't there a song sometime ago that said that Arkay? Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
I did not have to do all those steps with my G-scale SD40-2. Lol
Great video! It sounds well lubricated. 👍🏻
You didn't have the cost involved nor the weight it could pull either
Bassotronics....:-) Appreciate so much your taking the time to watch the video my friend.
What a beautiful sound! Thanks for the video Dave!

It certainly is Jim. Was in the warm shop all night and started
pretty easy, these old emd engines do like their warmth, hard to
start when cold tho. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Love that sound. Thanks for giving us all the experience of starting a locomotive
Glad you enjoyed Beverly, not a whole lot of folks have seen how
to start an old loco like this. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Thank you sir for sharing another interesting video. You definitely deserve more views. Hope you had an awesome day Dave, God bless. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
Great to hear you enjoyed this one Ferdinand. Thank you for the
kind words and we do very much appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and write in my friend.
Thanks for the video on starting a locomotive. It’s neat you bringing up things of railroading that I had no idea of how things worked. Keep the videos coming.
Your welcome Rik, and great to hear you are finding the videos
to supply some new information for you. Thank you very much for taking the time to visit with us and check out the video. May you have a very good day my friend.
Man I love those sounds. I live close to NS lines and my sons' daycare/kindergarten are next to the same lines. I maybe 44 but it doesn't get old. There's nothing like the sound of the locomotives throttling up as they are outbound from Columbus. The horns on the SD70ACes are by far my favorite. You should be getting nice scenery out your way as the leaves change. Thanks for posting Dave and have a good week!
Glad you enjoyed Clineshaunt and yes the 70 ACe's are some
pretty good locos with great sounding horns. Appreciate very
much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
The K5LLA is the best sounding horn
Very cool thanks!!! A norfolk southern employee several years ago posted on youtube of him starting a handful of different type of locomotives while not in motion but also while in motion is pretty entertaining to watch.
Thanks freedomfan. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
Thank the lord you posted this I wasn’t sure how to start my sd40
Your very welcome Hammer and I knew you were wanting to
know this info so posted this just for you and all those other
folks who have SD 40's sitting in their back yard and don't
know how to start them, Next find my video on how to jump
start a dead loco and your knowledge will be once again
complete. Thank you for the nice comment Dave and glad you found it interesting. Really appreciate your watching and may you have a very good day.
when I worked at USS Edgar Thomson in the mobile equipment shop (loco shop) got to start the EMD NW1s Put the Battery switch (knife switch) in, ensure the generator switch was disengaged, direction handle in neutral, fuel pump in on position, (wait for fuel pressure to rise to starting pressure) press starter button. Thanks for this nice tutorial. Always enjoy them
Thats one thing the guys here never have done is turn generator
field switch off, it's probably a pretty good practice to do so tho.
Appreciate very much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
Master Dave at the switch, I have full confidence.
Thank you for the kind words Johnny. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
What a great video to wake up to! Thanks Dave you rock!
You are quite welcome OregonCrow. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
So nice I had to play the video twice. Thanks Dave!
Glad you enjoyed it gofastwclass, it's actually a pretty simple
procedure isn't it. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Nothing better than the sound of the prime mover firing up. Thanks Dave
Great to hear you enjoyed this one William. Very much appreciate
your taking the time to check out the video and write in my friend.
I've always wondered how they were started, now I know. Thanks Dave.
Now you know Tom. Was in the warm shop all night and started
pretty easy, these old emd engines do like their warmth, hard to
start when cold tho. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Awesome video Dave! Thanks for sharing with us! 👍❤
Thank you Dennis, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very
much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Cranking up and running. That’s the sound of power 😊
Yes Clarence it certainly is! Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Nice work Dave, pretty easy start, I am guessing the engine was not stone cold when you got to it. Got to love the sound of a loco engine idling. Hope you have a good week.
No sir Glenn it was in the warm shop over night, they do start much
harder with a cold engine. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
So that's how they do it at work every morning! All this time I wondered how it was done 👍
It's a pretty simple process Michael as you can see. Helps if the
engine is kept warm but you don't have much problem with that!
Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Man, that baby poped right off Dave!
Yes it started pretty easy Morse, it was in the warm shop all night
and these old emd engines do like their warmth, cold is not kind
to them. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Music to my ears 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed Derek. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
And that's railroading great video thanks Dave
You are quite welcome Gary. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
Thank you for this video!
Those almost-antique locomotives took a lot of manual setting to start and operate. And some older big military aircraft used external starter units to start one engine that would start the other engines. Indeed prior to starter motors, automobiles had to be hand-cranked. And now there will be self-driving cars.
Don't think we could hand crank these Robin! :-) They actually have
2 starter motors on them to turn that big engine over. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Great video Dave, that engine sounds awesome!
Thank you Mojo, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
"Short, sweet, and to the point!!!" That's (what you call) "bringin' the railroad" (to us)... 👍👍
You are right about that Ebf, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Very cool! Thanks Dave...👍
You are quite welcome Steve. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
Always love the sound of those EMDs. We used some for stationary power, some nice reliable machines.
Yes they are very reliable Mike. This loco had some tender loving
care this year and it has paid off. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
In the words of Victor Frankenstein It's Alive !
It certainly is ClarissaPacker. Was in the warm shop all night and started pretty easy, these old emd engines do like their warmth, hard to start when cold tho. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
I regularly grin when these things fire up. LOL! I'm so used to hearing things such as small trucks and/or cars. Meanwhile, when this thing roars to life, it's more like thunder than a road vehicle. Hehe! Nice!
It is alive Eric, not a whole lot of folks have seen how to start one
of these old locos, its really pretty simple procedure from what
one might think. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Nothing beats the sound of an EMD 645!
It certainly is one of the best sounding loco engines going minimodelrailroading. This one has had some pretty good tender loving care given it by the mechanics this past year and it has paid off well for them. Appreciate so much your taking the time to watch the video my friend.
I learn something new about every video you post. Great video. I remember a big locomotive crane Bethlehem Steel had years ago. That had a pony motor that started the main diesel engine.
These engines have 2 starter motors on them Michael, much needed
to turn over these big engines. Glad you liked this one. Pony motors
were on some of the old CAT dozers and I had a John Deere model
70 tractor that had a pony, but I took it off and put in an electric
start for it, much nicer. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
@@ccrx6700 I see Dave forgot to mention that locomotive crane was old. Probably early 1950s. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for sharing Dave.
Your welcome Derrick, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
That started very nicely.
Yes it did George, was in the warm shop all night, they do start
better with a warm engine. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
What a beautiful sound ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It certainly is Eddie, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Hey Dave thanks for that start up it was like a song from angels lol bet she didnt start that easy when she was new til next adventure take care my friend
You are quite welcome Grec. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
Dave another fantastic video
Thank you Jason, glad you enjoyed, start up is actually a pretty simple
procedure but many folks have never seen how to start an old loco.
Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Nice easy start of a well maintained locomotive, you should all be proud of the way you look after your railway
Thank you for the nice comment Ian. This loco has had some tender
loving care this past year and it has paid off. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
My little HO sd40 has the similar sound (we put a new chip in it) when you put it on the track and start it up😂. It’s fun to hear when you rev it up and send it on its way. 👱♀️❤from Texas.
I bet that would be neat to hear KD. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
What's really fun is coaxing one of these things into life outdoors in near freezing temperatures. Diesel doesn't like that and these don't have glow plugs like cars/trucks do.
You crank and crank and then *whoof* one cylinder will kick, then *whoof whoof*, then three and so forth until all 16 rumble into life.
Then you look up and the entire town is covered in a white haze.
You are right about that litz! These old emd engines do like their
warmth, we've had them in cold weather to not start and have
to pull them into the heated shop for several hours before they
would go. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Musical! Great video!!
Thank you Steven, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Sorry I’m late been busy on the model railroad fantastic job Dave thanks.
No worries Lawrie, best of luck on your adventure! Thanks for

Nailed it Dave, music to my ears! Have wonderful day 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the show Richard. Not a whole lot of folks have
ever seen the procedure to start an older loco like this. I't actually
a pretty simple thing to do. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Just like the first time it was brought to life at the La Grange IL shop several hundred starts later sounds just as good. Give it a few minutes to build up some air pressure and otherwise ease into the day and it's ready to earn its keep. Back from the days when EMD had their act together
It's had a lot of starts since it was new in 1966 Paul, wouldn't it
be cool to know how many! Yes it does still sound good, it has
had some much needed tender loving care this past year as well
as our other 2 locos have, they all run great now for their age.
Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Good morning Dave. What a great sound. I don't think I have ever seen a knife switch that big and I have seen a few over the years. Have a great day sir.
Thank you Lewis, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Good stuff Dave!!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed Rich. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
That is an engine ready for work. As ever a beautiful sound there was. Thank you for sharing, be well. Cheers!
They've done a lot of work to this engine this year EJ and it
has paid off well, they do like their warmth when starting up
tho, it was in the warm shop all night. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
I hope you get to keep going there. You love your work, are a dedicated honorable man and they are lucky to have your help. Thank you,Happy Trails and peace.

Something about old EMD's starting up is just awesome. None of this new-fangled push button start stuff, nah! That's boring! I like to get my hands dirty on that layshaft!
You are right about that Bryson. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Haha, that never gets old!
No it doesn't Wilbur, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
There's nothing like the sound of a locomotive starting up!

Personally I’d like to have seen smoke
@@charlesdail882 Wanting steam locos? Joking!
@@Stefan_Boerjesson very late steam to early diesel is an interesting time I’m old enough but didn’t pay attention
@@charlesdail882 Was just joking. I have experience of diesel engines started as well.......

Great sounding loco! Thanks for sharing Dave.
You are quite welcome Brian, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
My favorite sound besides a rail firing up thanks Dave I guess that was pre lube before you started it
Glad you enjoyed Terry, that was priming the engine with fuel, no
pre lube on these old engines. Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Very cool to see
Thank you Alaina, glad that you enjoyed the start up video. This loco
was in the shop and nice and warm so it started pretty easy. These
old EMD engines don't like the cold weather, sometimes it's a real
bear to get them started when they are cold. Very grateful my
friend for your taking the time to watch and write in.
Good video as always
Thank you. A whole lot of folks have never actually seen exactly how
a loco is started so was glad to be able to share that with everyone.
Interesting.. I just assumed that to start an engine of that size, a smaller engine is first needed to be started and with that help a larger engine is started, like in some bulldozers. Greetings from Finland.
Glad you enjoyed. It does have 2 starter motors on it to turn that
big engine over. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my Finnish friend.
hello dave it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks dave friends randy

That’s is so cool 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Rick. Not a whole lot of folks have ever seen
the actual start up procedure for these old locos, it's really a pretty
simple procedure. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Our EMD GP7 was cold blooded. We had to leave it running in the shop when temperatures dropped below 0 deg. F. Great loco, but retired in 1990.
These old emd engines do like their heat halfinchholes, they don't
start well when cold, several times we had to pull the loco into
the heated shop for several hours before it would start. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Way Cool!!
Thank you Bill, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
The sound that has built society👷♂️🎵🚂🎶🇨🇦🇺🇲🙋
You are right about that Doug, trains built our country and the SD
40-2 was an important part of those trains in it's hey day. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video my friend.
Runs like a well oiled machine American made nothing but the best
They have done a lot of work to this engine this year Brad and it
has paid off. American made American mechanics worked on it! Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
That engine just purred!
They've done a lot of work to it this past year and it sure has
paid off. Appreciate so much your taking the time to watch the video.
If you ever get the chance read about Charles Kettering and some of the inventions he pioneered. He worked with GM / Detroit Diesel when the Winton Engine company was acquired and improvements made evolving the Detroit 2 strokes and was involved with these EMD 2 strokes also I believe.
Thanks for the info on that Jeff and I do believe you are right he
was involved with these early emd engines. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
love that sound of that huge engine turning over. Question ,that thumping sound as it is turning overr, is that sound the compression ignition in the cylinders ? Thank You
Yes it is a most wonderful sound isn't it. I do not know the answer
to your thumping sound tho Tom. Really appreciate your taking the time to check out the video and may you have a very good day my friend.
And I thought you used a REALLY BIG KEY. Thanks for posting.
And now you know grosseileracingteam. Someone lost the key
years ago....LOL Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Kind of interesting there is no lube pump to run before starting.
Must be integrated with something else. Gets very expensive if it's forgotten at startup>
You are right these old emd engines don't have pre lube which is
why emd suggest keeping engines running, no pre lube is hard on
seals and bearings fountainvalley. emd says it's easier on an engine
to keep it running than start it. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Love open knife switches simple effective, but our they get replaced with contactors canbuss circuitry to add cost lower reliability.
Yes they are pretty simple and effective Mack. Appreciate very
much your visiting with us to check out the video my friend.
EMD has the best sounding turbo.
I agree with that Jason, nothing like the sound of a turbo charged
emd. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
I just bought a used SD40-2 this afternoon. It's in the basement. Oh, did I mention it's HO scale? 😉
You did have me going there for a minute Pavil! :-) Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Cool.
Thank you RFM, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very much your stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Sounds like me trying to start in the morning . Diesels do make a racket.
You and me both fireguy! LOL Appreciate very much your
stopping by to watch the video my friend.
Seems like a lube oil prime would be beneficial along with the fuel prime. EMD missed one.
Yes they did lineshaftrestoration, no pre lube which is why emd
suggests it's easier on one of their engines to keep them running
than shut them off and have a cold start up with no pre lube. Appreciate very much your taking the time to check out the video. Keep on railroading my friend!
listen to that engin purrrr !
It sure does sound good David. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate very
