These old 567-powered high hood EMDs are legendary. They were so incredibly good at being mechanically bulletproof, smooth riding workhorses while looking like post-apocalyptic junk piles on the outside. They were intentionally designed to be ugly, and yet they were some of the most successful diesel locomotives ever built, because they were just that good - so good that some of them are still working almost a full human lifetime later. As of 2024, this particular unit is now retired and on the way to a museum for a well-earned rest.

those cinder concretes are still there now

This engine is also fitted in the belgium diesellocomotive called reeks 55! I really love this diesel engine sound

Wow very nice video I also do content like that 🥰

Canada?

I was surprised to see Gervais on here. I'm also surprised you railfanned at the Ivy Railroad Crossing, I always avoid that one because it's not a good spot nowadays.

That is one cracked out RS3L.

Those things were built to last long! Hats off to the marvelous engineering of EMD.

Any idea if the operating beacon on the locomotive around the 2:20 minute mark means it is under remote control?

That is a very nice paint scheme. Interesting the conductor / brakeman would ride the flat car like that. Looking for debris on the tracks??

Nice video.

Nice low angle shot at the Vancouver Amtrak station. How did you get that close to the yard in Portland? Is there a public access road that gets you that close? I know of one on the other side of the yard near the tall smoke stack, but you appeared to be on the south western side.

Nice catch.

Great video! Albany and Eastern keeps their power units looking sharp!

PNWR ex-sp

What do they call that type of cab on this loco?

awesome catch dude sweet old school how hard you try its keep going

Like a lot of older machinery it's all in what maintenance she gets...usually the uglier the better.

Lol as a kid I always told my dad to chase after this train

Still operating today daily to my knowledge

Very nice switching action. Love the slightly older yet still very powerful engine doing what it does best!

Great color scheme

I’ve seen SD70ACe’s and ES44AC’s smoke more than that.

An amazing locomotive. I wonder if she has dual controls in the cab.

It's amazing how some locomotives last forever whereas others are ready for the scrapheap at ten years. This one is a shining example of how well-cared for old equipment can still deliver revenue service after sixty-six years. The smoke you see is just what happens when you give it a hard acceleration, like in an average diesel pickup. No real fogger like the old Alcos were at 15 years. I can hear the Roots blower as well. I would be in Heaven if I were in the operator's seat with a Thermos jug full of my best coffee on that wintry day, makin' up freights in that yard. Southern Pacific had such locomotives, and nicknamed them "Cadillacs," probably because they were made by EMD--a General Motors division.

I would like to see videos of THE RIO GRANDE EMD SD9 LOCOMOTIVES

2018, is she still running?

Nice video, good audio also!

This. Engine has a mars light

Absolutely WONDERFUL specimen of a locomotive! She may look like a junk pile on the outside, but that almost complete lack of smoke when she digs in, that means she's in PRIME CONDITION within! She's been lovingly looked after and maintained and KEPT IN TUNE, so she's cheerfully ready each morning to shove and pull and get trains built and broken up and do it smoothly and on-time!

EMD SD 7

On it's way to Corvallis ?

The lack of smoke form the exhaust tells the story of how well this unit has been loved and maintained, despite the looks from the outside.

No but we chase trains together sometimes

Why did they remove the second fuel tank? Looks like shit with that big gap under the frame.

Why is the fuel tank so small when they clearly have room for a larger one, is it because of the new trucks on that unit?

I Love watching P &W engines and for sure this one 1501

They need a Nathan P5 for that locomotive!!! Awesome! I hope to see that one someday!!!

amazing video, I keep them coming, Please 😀😀

awesome horns and love the Griswold crossing signals 😁😁😁😁
