- We are in Port Clinton, where we see Reading, Blue Mountain, & Northern Train PNJT, the freight from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe, as the two lead engine in the consist get started. First, we see SD38 2004 get started, followed by SD40-2 3055. The third engine, Lehigh Gorge SD50 426, is already up and running. In the next video, we'll see the train depart. Enjoy the sound of the 645's as they start up. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The videos were taken on August 25th, 2014.
I love the sound of those amazing engines
Especially the big turbos 😍😍
I like how this video gives a back-to-back comparison of a roots-blown 645 to a turbocharged 645. I somewhat prefer the moan of the roots-blown engines to the whine of the turbocharged ones, but they both sound great.
Same. that high pitch *ying-ying-ying-ying-ying-ying-ying* isn't my preference either. Even though the turbo unit is, technically, a bit better.
Which one is super charge which one is turbocharged
@@acts2211 Read my description of the sounds that the two engines make and look up the locomotive designations in the video description and figure it out.
@@acts2211 The one they start up right at the beginning is the roots blown one. The one they pull away and then the second one they start up are both turbocharged. I've always really liked the low frequency rumble of the turbocharged units when they're at about notch 3.
nice! gotlove te 645's, justike the 12 an 16-57's. good old engines, cant beat them.
The blue mountain SD50 blew it's crank shaft
What a awesome video, love the sound of a SD40-2.
The SD38 is former DT&I , which is nice to see.
Great video I'd love to fire one of those beasts up!! Too bad you didn't get the startup of the SD50 to
3055 sure does sound the best out of all the SD40-2s on the R&N!
Increíble sonido de la maquina
1:00 Dude. Dude! DUDE!! Come back! You forgot the rest of the train! Sheesh.
I love the sound.....
the cylinders have a manual depressor knob??? i saw the mechanic turning a knob per cylinder.
Each cylinder has a "cylinder test valve". If the engine has been sitting for a while or has been worked on, all the valves are opened and the engine is turned over prior to starting. Fuel and/or coolant leaks can be detected by seeing discharge from the valves. If it looks clear all the valves are tightened and the engine is started.
ok,,thanks for the info and good 2018!!!
They are the engine test cocks, and the procedure is if the engine is cold, we open them and rotate the engine until the cylinders clear to allow any liquids in the cylinder (fuel, oil, coolant, or water from hot air condensing in the cylinder as it cools) to vent out and prevent a hydro lock situation which can bend the connecting rod.
I love it when I have a question about a video and somebody's already asked it and received the answer. :D
lol will the 3200 SD45 RBMN will be back
The SD38 is A Former DT&I Engine From Flat Rock Michigan. SAD to Say But The Railroad was Bought by The GTW and Totally Destroyed The DT&I. BUT The GTW got Bit Back The CN Took control of the GTW who Then DESTROYED The GTW Karma is a Bitch.
