M-497 Experimental Jet Train (Dubbed Audio)

Project I took on in October 2020 to add sound to the classic footage of the M-497's test run near Bryan, OH in 1966. Contains mostly original recordings of mine (mostly rolling stock and sounds for the NYC Geep) but some audio is borrowed.

That channel is gone

The thing I find absolutely wild is the fact that this thing safely performed the way it did at such speeds along all jointed rail.

[@bobbybrisk643]

Nothings wrong with split rail

[@compdude100]

The fact that they strapped a jet engine to the top of an RDC will never cease to be the funniest thing ever.

[@LotusbandicootRR]

Pretty insane that it ever happened

So beautiful. So sad this engine was scrapped.

[@octolia2024]

Who what when where why and how?!

@@octolia2024 I don't know who exactly, but it's still sad no one attempted to preserve her. A rare engine like that would get alot of attention.

Custom made at the New York Central System's Collinwood Yard, Locomotive Shops in Cleveland, Ohio. Thank you Alfred Perlman.

The tree huggers would have a field day with that. imagine living in a small town near the tracks. It would be like living next to a runway.

[@Alpostpone]

Nevermind the tree huggers, NIMBYs would spontaneously combust out of sheer rage.

The guy who built the train was blowing the horn when it was flying by

[@LotusbandicootRR]

Oh cool, where'd you find that out?

@@LotusbandicootRR I cannot remember for the life of me where I heard this, but supposedly the engineer was blowing the horn practically the entire time due to it being so extremely unusually fast

[@trailwayt9H337]

Thankyou for this beautifull video

[@antoneelly9133]

It was a great experimental train and it performed well given that the rail system wasn't designed for such speeds, sad it was scrapped

Hello, good video, one question, I could take your video to do a job that is another video of mine and I promise you that in the description of my video I will put the link of the video taken.

[@Nausicaafan-go6lq]

Ya know, when they were making Chuggington, this would've made a better basis for Action Chugger than a high-speed train with unfolding jet boosters.

[@andrewcliffe4753]

Neighbours love the sound????

[@robine5280]

Looks like a heavily modified VW Bus 😂

[@FreighttrainDaniel1225]

What does it mean when it says launch the train?
