That has to be ten megawatts of raw heat blasting out the top of that thing, between the electrical load and the thermal load from the engine itself.

Its really cool to see a new perspective of a train come through my town! Thanks! 32:00

I remember standing up on that bridge over the yard and witnessing a few of these back in the days when I was shooting film! LOUD, yet awesome!

This was the sound of Tehachapi Loop in the mid eighties.Thirteen EMD locos at full throttle.

Very interesting to see the radiator fans behave the way they do. I had always wondered if there was an air baffle separating the fans. Turns out there isn't. You can see, when the front fan starts, the middle fan freewheels, then reverses direction as it starts up, the rear fan behaves the same way, freewheeling in the wrong direction as air is sucked from there to the other fans. It would be more efficient to separate the fans, adding baffles directly to the radiator to make sure air is always pulled through it, and not back thru the open vents above non-running fans. I suppose that's why they start up nearly at the same time. Also interesting to see the dynamic brake fans increase speed with the engine's different throttle positions. I would've only imagined one or two fan speeds for those. I doubt their speed is directly related to the output of the generator. FANTASTIC video! So much to observe, so much to listen to. There is no sound like a turbocharged EMD two-stroke, absolutely none. You are actually hearing the gears for the turbo, and not the turbo itself. It is shaft-driven through a sprag-clutch until around notch 6 depending on actual load.

beautiful clear views.

Discount ESU Loksound 5.0 cliche.

Listened to this the whole 9 mins straight, definitely worth it

Bn engines always sounded different

Whooo HOOO Listen to that EMD SD 40-2 I love the sound The sound systems in model trains sound almost close to what i'm hearing. Awesome! Yes! This gets a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👋👋👋👋👋👋✅👍

A standing start would have been nice!

What happens between 6:34 - 6:43 and why? It is a drop in RPM, but is it throttling down or is the load increased so the engine can't maintain the RPM? Or something else? At any rate, it is complete eargazm.

Gorgeous EMD 16-645 engine sound! Love that

Have you seen the one video on here where one of the dynamic brake fans loses a bearing and turns into a 100 pound frisbee? Blows right out of the brake grid and lands in the weeds after going about 100 over the locomotive!

The pencil pushers and Book keepers got rid of these fine units.

Excellent song sounds i remember when Erie Lackawanna was double track when i was a kid🍻🎵🎶Schaefer beer.

why doesn1t someone explain what is happening.

*Q: So, is it on a "Treadmill" of some type or what???*

I have run many of these in days gone by. I used to love it when we ran through tunnels.

BEYOND BADASS !!🇺🇸

The pure sound of raw power!

Personally, in my opinion, the SD-60 produces the the best low torque sound in stereo! Awesome RUMBLE, turn up the subs!

Nothing sounds as PowerClean & PoweLean as the EMD engine! GM mastered it!

Where's the load box? In India they still use water loads to load test locomotives. They even make computer controlled water loads.

Emd 16-645e3 sound ASMR

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢!!!!!!!

RIP NINE-0-NINE AND THOSE ABOARD .. :'( !!!!!

God I want to smell that

In my opinion the SD 40 was the most durable locomotive in the fleet . The Gp 38s and 40s were also tough as nails. Engineer , Milwaukee/ soo . C.p 1990 - 1998 .

She chooches pretty good

Sounds good

What I wouldn’t give to hear the sound of those screaming EMD 645’s up close and smell that sweet diesel exhaust!!😍😍

I know where this yard is at, I've seen these tests done many times. They're done mostly at night. An absolute blast to watch from that bridge! You truly get the full effect!

May not be Tier 4 complaint but those SD40-2's are still amazing pullers. Nothing sounds as good as those old EMD 2-strokes

I love that sound. I had a crazy dream one night about one chasing me through the house with antenna clause in notch 8. Yes I have a great sense of humor.

I tried to make my sister sleep with this. She concidered this as disturbing Noice. I concidering this as the perfect sleeping melody! :D

What is a load test?

FOAMERS I tell ya

I love how american diesel locomotives sound like bass boosted jet engines

whats a load test?

Nice catch

Nice one

Nice video

the sd 40-2 is the best sounding locomotive ever.

GREAT video! and sound!!
