- We are at mp6 on the North Shore Mining (ex-Reserve Mining) Railroad as we watch two SD28's, and a SD18 fight the grade from Lake Superior at Beaver Bay to the top of the grade near the tailings dump. The train has SD28 # 1235 & 1234 and SD18 1226 for power. All units are powered by EMD 567D1 16 cylinder prime movers. It has a string of side dump cars loaded with tailings from the mined ore, and a compressor car, with the cab control caboose bring up the rear. The crew avoids turning the power, and can run the train from the caboose on its return trip to Beaver bay.
SD28 info...
The SD28 is a rare bird. There where only six built for use in the USA, and built between June-September 1966. Four where built for Reserve Mining, and two for the Columbus & Greenville. There was also six built for export to Korea, but they where classed as SDP28's. The SD28 was built on the SD35 frame, and ran with a 16 cylinder 567D1 which developed 1800 hp.
The video was taken in VHS format on April 17, 1999 near Beaver Bay, MN.

I can close my eyes and I'm back in 1983 listening to two F7s of the Seattle and North Coast approaching the crossing next to my childhood house.
I remember the FP9s that the Algoma Central had for and all-too-short period of time. I'll never forget what a quartet of 567s in the middle of the Agawa Canyon sounds like!
Brings back memories of standing in the same spot and watching the big mallets pulling up that hill when I was a youngin'.
The sound of work being done, money being made, jobs being had!
For sure michigandon! Thanks for watching...
Yeah, I would say so. Looks like a load of either crushed stone or iron ore.
At least the ballast dosn't also come from China! Yet!
From the days of when we were still a country and a superpower.
@@Galaxy2517 We had a choice to be a country or superpower. We chose trump so we are neither.
I know I'm in good company when I'm on a page with like -minded souls just watching trains go by.
AMEN ON THAT! Nothing like it. Sheer brute power against the eliments. Thanks for watching.
it's good to tune out the rest of an annoying word with a purposeful, yet relaxing sound.
@@torquetrain8963 truer words have never been spoken.
Right on, Bro!
This is the best train video on TH-cam. That non-turbocharge 567 sound is absolutely perfect.
Glad you enjoyed it. They sure did sound fantastic. Thanks for watching...
That the best diesel engine I can hear. Nothing like an old 567. Beautifull video!! Thanks
I've ran a few nothing can compare they are pulling beasts EMD for the win
Very rare engines, even back then! The only other SD28s I'm aware of belonged to the Illinois Central and they only rostered 2 of them. Great video as always!
when people say" something sounds like a freight train locomotive " they dont know what the heck they are talking about. lovely.
For sure. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching...
Always love seing EMD's putting in work. Even if it is from years past.
One of the sounds of FREEDOM, I love it. I Like it also because there is no music with the video, just the way a video should be. Thank you for such a treat....
The rhythmic chant of those EMD 567's !
Awesome catch. Out here on the plains, we very seldom hear these things under power like that. Thanks for sharing.
Growing up around the time when the 645 was popular, it's great to hear the difference between the 567 and 645's. They sound like they could grab one more notch in this video! Definitely a treat to see the older power recorded; thanks again!
Now that's railroading.... thanks for what you do!
Thanks for the memories. I grew up in Duluth and you would hear this sound all the time.
A caboose!! What a bonus surprise.
These were the days when locomotives could show us how powerful and determined they were to get the job done. Today's power takes the excitement out of the struggle.
music to my ears, I could enjoy a peace nights sleeping listening to those wonderful engines. Thank you
love the 567 sound. growing up along the ohio river, i heard trains and towboats both powered by 567s and 645s and Fairbanks Morse. Soothing sounds to grow up to especially at night when in bed.
virginian 2-10-10-2 To this day, though the nearest line is miles away, I can still hear the rumbling of engines and their horns when I wake up at 4 in the morning to go back to sleep.
I bet that the locomotives I was hearing had 645s (:
The first 2 nines are SD 38s which are 645s. The last engine is the only 547 in the bunch a rebuilt gp7 or 9
@@mm-gl7sz what
I was wrong about this. I have never heard of an SD 28 before this video. They look like SD 38s but have 547 Prime movers. Evidently they were very rare
@@mm-gl7sz actually they are just a non-turbo version of the sd35, not sd38. The prime mover is a 567, not 547 (no such thing as a 547). the last engine is an sd18, not a geep. :)
edit: and yes, sd28's were pretty rare, with only 6 built
Roots-blown 567's... And the caboose was icing on the cake!!
Very nice and loud diesel sound. Much better than new quiet and boring engines...
Ujjn n nn. Croatian
DieselPowerFinland yes your right the new ones are way to quiet the gevos have a good sound whin throttled up but its the new ET44S that are way to quiet):
The sound of MUSCLE and RELAIBILITY ..... today locos ... nice but like you said ... NO SOUL. The most you can get is some turbo whine ....
Better than the GE toasters too.
look at those old men proving they can still play ball !
I feel the spirit
I'm not hip at which loco is labeled which,or which loco is actually of certain type .....I'm merely thankful that you have kept& logged marvelous record of SDs and GPs doing their Best ...
Thank you......
I listened to it with the headphones turned to 11!!!! Just Awsome!!!
"You don't holler whoa, baby, that old muuule's pullin' hard"-Jimmy Reed, "Down In Mississippi"
Bit of whimsy, I suppose. I kept thinking that lyric while I was enjoying the rhythm of might.
Sweet music to my ears! There's nothing better than a herd of 567's or 645's going by you in notch 8 with a heavy train! Whether they are turbo or na it's way better than the quiet stuff they are making today. Namely gevos
Nothing like the sound of a big diesel "cranking down!"

Emd is the Best locomotives of all ages
SD40M-2s rocks! and screw SD50s
Great job! Super audio, compelling video, just a very well done piece. Thank you for this.
Unbelievable how hard those trains are working
SD28's & SD18's!! Rare birds!
That sound in notch 8 is incomparable....Powwr on the rails👍🖒
Wish. I. Still. Worked. 4. Emd.
Ga- Damn!!!!!!!! This video is great!!!!!
Wow. The only thing that would make this better is if they were double headed steamers! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the sound of the 567! When I sleep over at my grandparent's house, I am lulled to sleep by the sound of 567's working in the nearby railyard.
And a caboose! Hard to beat!
If I remember correctly, the caboose was wrecked in a collision a couple days later and was destroyed, along with one of the SD28's. Thanks for watching.
What a great video!! I was sleepy when I started it but I was cranked up at the end!
brings back my best train memory when I viewed two PRR F units( 9823 & 9560 )howling in a snowstorm with 38 loaded hoppers and another 4 EMD's cut in before the cab pushing hard at Revloc,Pa.in 1963.Train came up from Nantyglo to the summit in Ebensburg.Heard it for nearly half an hour winding around the mountains.Sadly tracks are now a bike path but what I saw 54 years ago is etched in my brain forever.The picture I took is in Al Staffers book"Penny power 2".
Jack ! And you brought EMD 567's. Glad to hear from you again.
The 567: One of the sweetest sounds ever made.
No doubt about! Thanks for watching...
Non turbocharged 645s at notch 8 are pretty good too.
Spend several nights a year at Silver Bay Marina. Just love the gentle rocking of the boat listening to them fight the hill.
I miss the sound of 567s. When I was growing up FEC still had some high hood GP9s on their roster for local jobs and that's what they sounded like at full chat.
Very AWESOME SOUNDING of Beast.............
This is the best damn train video on youtube. Love that sound!
You are SOOO right! Gotta love all that power! Thanks for watching...
I love 567 prime movers like no one else.

I think I may be right there with 'ya!!! That, friends & neighbors, is what I call music.
LUVEMDPOWER YEP.
In 1969 my family moved into a new house about 3/4 mile from the Missouri Pacific line in Austin, Texas. The line has a fairly steep grade from the Colorado River, downtown, for about 5-5.5 miles north bound. Nowadays the line is in the middle of what Austinites call MoPac Blvd., which is actually a freeway-grade highway with four lanes of traffic in each direction. Before MoPac was built I could hear all the 567 units laboring upgrade, particularly at night, when all the city's other "white noise" producers were idle. Back then MoPac's philosophy seemed to be two lash together about 100 freight cars, add six or seven 567's, and haul ass. F3s, F7s, GP-7s and 9s, GP-18's would drag theirs trains northbound and their exhaust and rumble would be pronounced through our neighborhood. Perhaps lying in bed listening to the diesels slugging it out upgrade is when I developed the notion that for a town or city to have promise that both a river and railroad were necessary before a kid could enjoy the mystery posed by horizons: what's downstream or what is St. Louis, MO like. All I knew for sure was that St. Louis was 941 miles north of Austin, TX, and the Texas Eagle went north every day.
Thanks for a great video and fond recollection!
They had a sound of their own Alec! It was fantastic. Thanks for watching...
Nice video, I love the sound of this engine. Here in Brazil The company MRS has some models of the SD18 still in operation. Already this model of SD28, is identical to the SD38 that the MRS has here with the engine 16-645E aspirated (without turbo). When they were acquired they were to pull the iron ore trains.
Still the best EMD soundtrack, the non turbo 567, remember them sounding like this on railroad lines in Belgium, where on the grades they would use 2 or 3 loco's on iron ore and steel trains, and the good old 567 would take the abuse of pulling a train uphill notch 8 at 15mph for ever.
The sound of these EMD locomotives reminds me of the Irish A class Metropolitan Vickers locomotives after these were rebuilt with EMD engines. I recall how on a sultry summer day the sound of such an engine would carry on the air.
Thanks airing the outstanding vid.Bliss
Awesome EMD sound!! Fantastic video!
Agonizingly wonderful !!!
mbwolf
nice that you wrote about where this was taking place...I first thought this was the LS&I near Marquette MI. thanks
The best diesel loco sound on the planet! Bomb proof and built like tanks, the good old 567.
best sound in the world to bad its dying out
Yes! A 48 piece symphony!!!
Our family moved to a new house in 1969. It stood about 4 long blocks from MoPac's 200-foot-wide right-of-way. Back then MoPac ran long trains behind F7s, GP 18 (riding on trucks from scrapped Alco units - mostly PAs), GP7s, and GP9s. An expressway was built on either side of the MoPac tracks and the expressway is known locally as "MoPac Blvd".
Northbound MoPacs trains had a steep grade to fight all the way from the Colorado River bottoms to Snead siding, a distance of roughly 6 miles. At night I would lie in bed and listen to the music produced by the 567s traveling upgrade. Since MoPac Blvd was completed all one can hear is the white noise of traffic.
Thanks Dragonriver! I'm still allive! LOL I'll be posting a video soon of what was eating up my time. Thanks bud, and thanks for watching...
Thanks for the upload good stuff!
Fantastic. 💙 T.E.N.
Kids these days don't know this sound. Luckily, I was born shortly before all that wide-cab silenced stuff was popular. I love this sound!! Thank you for sharing these videos, keep up the amazing shots!
Had to watch again and still so cool!!!!
Never get tired of hearing that sound. I listen to it often myself. Thanks for watching...
Great video!
wow . the clagg and thrash :) even rarer now , a caboose . :)
1800 hp per locomotive. 5400 total. Not much hp but the train moved along pretty well.
Iron ore is very heavy
AWESOME SOUND!
+Pcorf Creations Indeed there!!!
Two SD28's non turbo charged with a rebuilt SD9 (or SD18) on rear. Talk about heavy loads!
My initial fans was when SD40-2 was hot&new....realizing so many generations of locos have come thru to crawl up these rails since then is really a wakeup call as to how really old I am & how long I've been appreciating this amazing industry .....I'd deeply admire the industry if they'd treat workers fairly, beside being in awe of the tonnage accomplished day to day toward great economic power of USA.
Anyway, thanks for your vids. I'll watch more.
Jake, we have lost so much over the years. I remember my very young years, my dad and grandpap would take me trackside in northern NJ. I remember the end of Erie steam on locals coming through the station, and vacationing at the Jersey shore, the Pennsy K4's up to 1957, then the big Sharks and PA's, the CNJ double ender Baldwins. Seen so many models over the years. I don't even bother going out anymore. Everything is boring, and looks the same. Train lengths have doubled, one unit on the front, one in the middle, just plain boring. My front porch is 23 feet from the CSX, ex-B&O mainline, so I can watch right from the window. Sometimes even then! I don't even turn my head, unless I hear a strange horn. I host the Railstream LLC camera here at the house. Its Railstreams "Hog Pen" camera, named after the signal location a 100' down from me. Some crews called it, "Jacks Hog Pen" so I knew they were coming. LOL

One of the sd 28's was given new life at the Cumberland mine rail way in Pennsylvania
She hauls coal now
Fantástico!!!! É muito peso, mas as EMDs conseguem!
What a great sound!
Yo. The head end power can still do it. Also a rare caboose ending. Nice.
hard to belive that the locos are at full throttle . thanks for the vistas long gone .
Man, that's some serious pulling power and a pretty mean exhaust note as a bonus. I would like to put one of those diesels in my truck then I could get to work on time.
That would be pretty neat, making that much HP. Thanks for watching...
the diesel engine itself is longer than your entire truck.
Awesome! Looks like the blue locomotive was just in tow. Not pulling❤
Wicked EMDs dude
Tony
Makes me really miss pulling the 2.7% grade out of Peace River Alberta with a quadruple set of well worn CN SD40-2's. On a good day or night when they were all actually loading properly (which was only about half of the time), they pulled like a bastard. Whatta rush.
Stunning force. Diesel...
A 1969 AMX with a 390, or three 567D1 prime mover's, it's all about power. Rock on bud!
Great soundtrack!
The sure did make beautiful music. Thanks for watching...
Like listening to GOOD music!!!
Very nice sound
beautiful engines. excellent camera work! very well done sir.
Thank you Eric. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching.
Excellent. ♡ T.E.N.
567 first gen are like the turtle and the rabbit.
Those are about as old as my dad!
Awesome i like to here those emd working hard excellent !!!!!!!!!
Nice video Jack! It's been like 5 months since you last posted a video. Glad to see you're back.
You can almost smell the clag. Great video.
very cool too see any sd 18 doing what they did best!
That sound can put me to sleep.
EMDs getting the job done and letting you know how it is done
It has CottonBelt! I'll be posting a video in about an hour of what's been eating up all my time recently. Car show season is on me, and I had lots to do to get ready for it. There was a few guys wanted to know if I was OK, or if something happened to me. I'm alive and kickin! Thanks for your support, and watching...
Put both ear buds in to get there full effect of the 3 engines. Great video.
We went to Silver Bay several times when I was an Engine Cadet on the Middletown. Silver Bay-Toledo was a very common run for the Columbia steamers.
When your foot hurts because you have it mashed down on the gas pedal trying to get more. Yeah, I’m a trucker, that’s how it works.
LOL. Yah, the years of running coast to coast when cruise control wasn't even thought of yet in big trucks.
@@1jackdk and little motors.
The Units are leftovers from the Reserve Mining.They are still gracing the Rails.
Excellent video
Indeed!
oh man that brings back memories. you dont see this through northern WI or MIN anymore
