Crazy to think that I would catch this same ACC leading the resymboled version of 238 over 2 years later. Watch video here: ua-cam.com/video/xaeJt9CfAEQ/v-deo.html
EMD’s are kinda quiet when they’re idling but when you throw them wide open, they are SUPER LOUD. so loud in fact you could still hear them after the train passes.
Them 710s are like gentle giants. If there just sitting there not even noticible but hell you put em to the floor, sounds like the worlds comin to an end
I definitely have been able to catch a few gp38-2 on the shortline by my house and I have been able to hear it well before it shows up and man does it sound good when they are howling
When ATSF loaded up their TOFC fleet with four big units those V20 SD 45,s 45-2,s would rev up like that leaving Emporia, but by the time they got to, at Merrick tower, they were backed off to run fourcor less. Hell they all made Wellington in 2hrs or less. Those were Gravy trains.

It’s the Roots Blower…
Oh I have heard louder. UP 2 mile long coal train, howling like this + wheelslip. It was amazing, but SUPER loud!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
SD70ACC x SD70ACe
The perfect lash up
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
AWESOME CATCH MAN AND WOW THOSE EMD'S ARE LOUD!
Yes they were! Thanks for watching!
No problem. Keep up the good work filming.
I’m jealous I haven’t been up close and personal with a screaming EMD
Yeah, it was an awesome experience. Thanks for watching!
The few times I have it has been amazing it definitely sounds a lot better than the GEVO’s and Dash 9’s on the NS

That was a long one. Those cooling fans must be working hard to cool those traction motors. Good video.

That sounds awesome!!!
Oh yes, it was just as amazing in person 😁
Thanks for watching!
@@ColumbiaAreaRailProductions I shot a train that’s usually around 75-110 cars long going up a hill with a SD70ACe, a Dash -9 and another ACe
Brought those rock cars in last night. 41 cars...
Vondrey McClurkin from the Martin Marietta quarry in Columbia or Vulcan quarry from Pacolet? Just curious.
@@anscrailfanner6812 pretty sure they came from Martin Marietta. They usually load up on 40 cars at a time at that facility.
L01 is the symbol. It's the first rock hole on the W-Line
Very impressive indeed most impressive 😮😅😊
Yep! Thanks for watching!
That’s one ☝️ scary 😧 horn
Yeah, it does sound a little eerie when you think about it. Anyway, thanks for watching & commenting!
You could hardly hear the horn over those prime movers!
Yep! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Does the horn even serve a purpose when you're already that loud? lol
Surprised NS had them wide open when now it is all about conserving fuel
Yeah, railfanning isn't as fun as it used to be since PSR bought a lot of changes across the country over these last several years.
Looks/sounds like that train is on a downgrade - so what you're hearing is dynamic brakes.
Yeah, it was coming on a downgrade after going up a slight hill. Thanks for watching & commenting.
