Now that was an engineer who had places to go and people to see! I had no idea a train that long could accelerate so quickly. That was impressive.
Length has little to do with acceleration. Weight and grade are the 2 major factors.
Tractive effort my fellow humans.
He's pulling empties, and has both engines online. That's why he's able to get moving
That train (an AC model without Distributed Power too) must have had a string of EMPTIES behind it to accelerate like that. If it (a DC model you can tell by the way it starts out) would have been with loaded cars and Distributed Power too it would start out more like this one here: th-cam.com/video/N3VjUp9oz8o/w-d-xo.html
@@chuxtuff They were all empties
Wow ! Zero to sixty in about 2.5 ..... minutes ! Actually , that's the fastest locomotive launch I think I've ever seen .
Yeah but you don't consider about terrain on this track..
Homie did a boosted launch 🤣
Cars are all empty, there is a huge difference between loaded and empty cars.
That engine sound just does something to me every time. My bedroom window as a teenager was right next to a double tracked CSX mainline. Trains are nostalgic and calming to me. Have seen this many times. My house was across the river from a B&O signal bridge.
I completely agree with you
That’s cool! I find them calming too
I agree ...... it makes me proud to be an American ...... hard to explain. I guess I equate it with power !!!! LOL :-)

@@Utubin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
"Awesome catch. I like how it just took off from a complete stop to full throttle."
Yessir Me too
Total skill from that engineer 👏
I can't imagine feeling the ground shaking
The U30C with the 7FDL-16 the Southern Pacific had was always one of the best sounding engines out there.
Yes, I agree. A trio of U30Cs or a brace of C30-7s starting out under load was the best sound ever. Grew up in Galesburg, Illinois on South Broad st directly across from the yards in the '60s, 70s, and visited family there in the' 90s and the ground would shake when the GEs would throttle up. Unforgettable.
Those two GE’s got after it! I’d pay extra to watch a “drag race” between two loaded coal trains, side by side, pulling from a dead stop, up Crawford Hill in Nebraska…one equipped with GE’s and one equipped with EMD’s.
I'd add a third competitor to that race... UP Big Boy 4014.
@@KingdaToro From stand still? Diesel got better traction & adhesion than a steamer. But from rolling start, my money on steamers.
Those GE Locomotives sound's absolutely awesome in notch 8
Man that was nice! He stepped on out of there.
That was unbelievable. Now I know what high ballin' looks like.
Music to my ears!!!!! What a gorgeously AWESOME sound!!! And, enhanced by my studio headphones ....total eargasm!
Hahaha appericate it
@@apply3stepproduction903 lol, I watched it like 10 times in a row! I really enjoyed this video. Thanks! And subbed!
Turn up the bass
@@ellisjackson3355 I did! It was spectacular! Lol
Wow! That really picked up speed quickly!!! So powerful!
Holy smoke! That’s a badass performance.
I've always been an EMD fan but you can't deny GEVO's sound pretty damn mean👍🏼😎
Same
Yes they do
Your room must be near the one the Blues Bros were renting?
"How often does the train come by here?"
"So often you won't even here it."
I hate to admit it as well, but good sand and tangent track and you can't get one to wheel slip
Yeah the GEVO sound has always caught my ear even since I was young and would hear amtrak locomotives with it. I also like to hear a GEVO juxtaposed with the screaming turbo of an EMD
Railroads sure have come a long way Haven't they. That was impressive 😮.
Music to my ears!! Pure power!!😁😁
love that double whoop at 2:22
Air compressors kicking on. Never heard a double like that.
@@DNR5586 because the second one is from the other locomotive
@@DNR5586 Thanks for explaining what that whoop sound was. I've heard it many times but didn't know what made it. Love that sound.
That part is the highlight of the video
That got up to speed pretty darn fast. That's a boat load of weight to up and move.
Man I had forgotten about that rocket blast off. Thanks video.
Yessir No Problem & Yall Boys Sure do know How to Get outta Dodge
He's puttin' the whip to that lead phillie!
Love all those ex-CNW hoppers!
The sound of a fighter jet or this here????🤔 LOVE THEM BOTH💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Wow, he had the highball signal and took care of it!
Typical GE performance, "Eight and Wait". That's what I loved about running the GEs in that as soon as you saw the EOT device start moving on an empty train like that just put it in the 8th notch and wait for the power to come up to full tilt. EMDs need more notch by notch, GEs you can just sweep it to Run 8. (Note: Not a company approved method)
So basically you just floor it and dump the clutch, but in a locomotive.
That's pretty dope.
It takes about that long to get my fully loaded semi up to speed!!👍
Wow! You are not kidding! Very impressive!
Even with a lot of power, a train accelerating this briskly means the cars are mostly MT
You mean "empty". Spell it out like a real person. These abbreviations just kill me.
They were full. Look at the springs on the cars. It must have been a down hill slope. Those were full heavy cars.
"MT" is a common abbreviation in the rail, barge, and trucking industry.
@ToxicTommy, exactly what I use in the trucking world. My company uses MTY abbreviation as empty.
Most Def.
He Was the main line with that stop and evidendtly he had to get moving to avoid backing up the line on that stretch of track which evidently had a 60 mph speed limit
That train is straight flying at the end. I tried to use a calculation of length per second but my numbers seem pretty astounding.
I did to. Trying to count from knuckle to knuckle across the grade and it was too fast.
Love that "Whoop"!
Man was he kicking ass, no hopping that train.
if you already did, you betteer hang on
Geez, that's CRAZY quick.
That’s amazing! Very impressive
It's amazing how fast those big boys got going
Love that "GEVO growl!
Empty or not. That was awesome brother!! Very nice catch 👏
Damn !! Those Gevo's kickin ass and takin names!!
Nice catch.... you were not kidding...
Great catch!
Holy cow, not seen that before, great post.
Even if all the cars are completely empty, that was some fast acceleration for a couple locomotives pulling that many cars
That's 8800 hundred horsepower pulling it
That's what you call getting a Clear Signal up ahead
93 wagons, wow🤣🤣a beast👍👍👍🇬🇧
Greetings from SC! Liked and subscribed.
Dope catch!!
5304 got a little hot under the collar...👍👍👍👍
Even if empty, that was impressive acceleration to speed
Engineer has Boss skills from a full stop a 0 To Notch 8 at track speed.👏👍
Reminds me of the calm nights in Blairstown Iowa on the Union Pacific line, you could hear those GE's pounding from 10 miles away.
Didn't see any wheel slippage that's awesome
I see they had a genuine GE toaster in the lead! :-)
So that's what you call one that has had a fire on board?
@@JungleYT Precisely!
@@LUVEMDPOWER aren’t burn marks more common on the dash 9 series than the gevos I see them on dash 9s more come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever seen. Burn marks on a gevo at least not irl
@@ShazzledWolf32 Have seen plenty of GEVO's, including some ET44AC's, with burn marks. Not as many as the -9's, but, have seen them.
@@LUVEMDPOWER figured personally I like the dash 9s more than the gevos to me they have character ig because they’re older
That fire damaged GEVO, also keep on doing that and a knuckle will get pulled😂. Love to see the N-0 to N-8!
Violence or malfunction cause fire?
Gee you can hear the torque
My goodness, the power required to do that is insane.
Wow. That was 93 cars.
That was quite a treat! Loved the “turbo char” on the side. Are those cooling fans kicking in (2) at 2:22? Oh to be there to hear the engines throbbing. Nothing like it.
Air compressors. Electrically driven.
The cooling fans are the buzzing sound you can hear. The big radiator fan is relatively quiet for it's size... the buzzing fans are the intercooler fans. The double "whoomp" is the compressors.
Thank you both for the responses. This is a duh moment. Brake release depletes reservoir air, therefore -- Yup!
You'd feel it in your chest to
Man I love the way those engines sound under load, shoot I love all the sounds. im assuming those were fans turning on as well at one point.
The "whoop" sound is the compressors activating.
Actually its more like 0-3-7-8. In that order. Notch 3 to get it moving without wheel slip or breaking a knuckle pulling out the slack. 6 or 7 then 8. You just don't go 0-8 on a freight train for too many reasons.
Finally! Someone who knows what they're talking about.... Thank you....
@@2flyabove Dad is a retired train engineer. Grew up with going to the yard with my mom dropping him off, picking him up and grew up a railroad bratt. I have 1 brother who currently works for CSX in Jacksonville. Almost became one myself but I didn't like the time away from home and remember what it was like growing up with my dad spending so much time away. Went through most of the railroad course work and everything and finally decided that it Wasn't for me. I know as much as they know though!
@@nbagoats4819 Thanks for sharing the history with your dad and growing up in that environment. Very cool, being a boy with trains in your life. I was fascinated with locomotives from a very early age. Back in the days of steam, though, lol....
@NBAGOATS, what’s the highest train operators make a year? I’ve been curious as I love trains myself despite being 31.
@@steveanderson5244 Depends on your work ethic. If you work, you can make way over a hundred grand. If you're like some of the "part timers" as we call them, you'll make around 65-80 grand.
Wow...that was a very long train!
Now that was awesome
Well... Dang. I'm impressed.
How can you not love that gevo sound
I like the dash 9s better
@@ShazzledWolf32 tough. D9s also roll coal
@@american1702 just like a diesel should
@@ShazzledWolf32 indeed! Hard to beat a coal rollin’ diesel!
@@american1702 agreed in semi truck motors you can’t beat the 3406 cat or a Detroit 60 series
Those 40's will get up and go!
Now that's pulling power.
That's some Cole Trickle dropping the hammer right there. LOL
Thats what I call skinning it back !
That’s impressive even if the cars were completely empty.
The cars are like...hang on ,,,,,we is going for a ride...
The fastest, smoothest acceleration of a train of that length I've ever seen. He should have been in Hamlet in about 30 minutes.
He's getting with the program
A Bullet Train...
Wow!
Zero to Gone in two minutes 😃
✌️
Damn, that was flying past at the end, all from a dead stop.
Fantastic video
“If I give ‘er any more she’s gonna blow, Captain!
That's As Far As They Could Go lol
Most impressive
To get going that fast so quickly, the grain cars were most likely empty.
Haha wow that’s awesome 😎
Ten to 1 it’s an empty train,! Had he had that many cars full of grain, he’s still be crawling by!!
Hear those gennies kick on. He had the gigawatts.
We have these at work and they sound awesome, pity they are too gutless so we're not allowed to have them together any more. They have to be paired up with a sd70 or sd90
And not a whisper of smoke! Back in the 60s and 70s in Canada we had MLW (Alco) locomotives that could get a train moving as quickly as that but you’d be choking on the smoke for hours 🤢
AEOX 810226 has 2! Faded C&NW heralds, and was yellow..the former C&NW Pullman Standard PS4s are dark green. Heralds on a couple of them can juuusst be made out.
Nice new sub 👍
🌪️💨💨.... Niccceee hammerheads 💥💥💥.
Not bad for a couple of DC EVO's - suspect terrain was slightly down hill.
Lol with a tailwind
now we are rolling
Drive it like you stole it!👍
That hogger must have been a former AT&SF engineer hahaha.... By the way, he most like notched up in accordance with good train handling techniques, meaning he didnt just slam the throttle to Run 8, he notched her up and watched his amps start leveling out and then grabbed another notch and so forth, newer GEs like those would have pulled a knuckle or even a drawbar out.... It was obviously was a train of empties, depending on the grade there he might have not even grabbed all 8 notches ....
That damn thing has gotta be doing every bit of 60 mph by the end.
No lol
That loco was either in a fire or on fire at one time.
FULL SEND🤟🤟🤟
pool guys going for the quit... that's rare
Awesome.
Perhaps that damage to that cowl paint job is a testament to the turbo section catching fire. I wonder if those traction motors are hot?
I think a turbocharger fire is like a right of passage for a GE
Lol. That'll explain the scar on the first locomotive. I was wondering what that was
Yeah, on an older EMD, that might also
have meant the dynamics got a little
too hot! The older ones with the dynamic brake heat dissipation grids and cooling fans in that spot!
Normally because they’re so common I’m not a fan of newer GE power, but I will admit they make a pretty good noise
Impressive.
Did you know he was going to do that? Rather interesting little video there.
Now that is what I call highballing
Saw quite a few ex-C&NW hoppers on that train.
Nice video. The GEVO-12 prime mover has a noticeably faster load & throatier sound than the more clanky-sounding FDL-16 on older Dash 9s & AC4400s.
I'd guess because the 12 cyl isn't as heavy as the 16 cyl but I'm no expert
@@amessman The GEVO 12 is a heavier engine. It has better engine and turbo controls, thus it can load faster without smoking. If you load an old FDL too fast, it smokes like crazy.
Wouldn’t it have bigger pistons than the previous 16 cylinder?
@@bluegrassman3040 It has. Bore x stroke is 9 x 10.5 in for the 7FDL compared to 9.84 x 12.6 in for the GEVO.
Bigger pistons but less of them. More
horsepower, less fuel!
