- With its turbos installed on top of its rebuild Mayback V-16 prime mower, Southern Pacific #9010 left the Niles Canyon Railway shops again for a powered test on the mainline though Brightside yard using Southern Pacific SD-9 #5472 and its dynamic brakes for a load. See the Maybach be turned over and then started along with several runs in the yard. The Niles Canyon Railway is an all volunteer railroad museum that operates over a portion of the original Transcontinental Railroad between Niles (City of Fremont) and Sunol, CA with track being extended toward Pleasanton, CA.
Great Video, Thanks for Sharing !😊
Im glad we were able to save SP #9010 for preservation. Its a lone survivor. It operates under its own power. All the other ML-4000s from Krauss-Maffei were scrapped.
Cool stuff, the bells ringing, and the shop , thanks for sharing this.
Really feelin' that hi-hood
I like the video
That would be a great loco for a future Train of Lights.
OHH YEAH!!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!
Finally the Diesel-Hydraulic is back in operation as a functional locomotive!!!
Does it still have a single prime mover or did they finally get a second one for it?
Also I have recently received two models of the car body style of the ML4000, I prefer a sound decoder that doesn’t have the maybach prime mover noises but I could use a decoder with either dual 567 or dual 645. Which would be more realistic to have been retrofitted into one of these if possible. I’m leaning towards the dual 567 as the dual 645 has turbo and the model doesn’t have a turbo exhaust stack.
It has a second Maybach engine. However the second engine isn't operational.
When did they change the front cab style?
That's the cab from the factory; it was restored from its camera car configuration during its restoration.
Any videos running alone ? ( without 5472 )
Not yet...
are there any plans to find a second engine & drivetrain for it, or will it just keep the rear power unit?
The second engine is present, but not in great shape. The second transmission was gone before we owned it, and they are made of unobtanium so 9010 will forever run on one engine and one transmission. That is all we need anyway.
@@CRHPhotog oh I bet you guys have the talent to build a new transmission! There's nothing buffs can't do when they set their minds to it! 😉 Check out the Brits diesel rebuilds/new builds for some inspiration. Anyway, a really lovely job on a worthy locomotive. Maybach power unit sounds familiar... like the BR class 52s I used to see as a kid, they had two motors and hydraulic transmission.
Sucks that this is all for nothing (California is banning diesel trains by 2035)
Hopefully it gets moved.. We all know California sucks anyway
BRO ARE YOU JOKING?! wow, california sucks
@ they actually pulled out of those plans in January
@ THANK THE LORD
@@CoreytheATSFConnie yea it would be nice to see these guys run for a few more decades
