I am not a CSX employee one of the crew members allowed me on the engines and I took several recordings, including that one. However, that’s one of the only few I can put on UA-cam right now without getting them in any trouble.
Never get that close to the main alternator/main generator when a locomotive is running. Rule of thumb is to not get close to it at any time. Especially in the electrical cabinet. With the amount of voltage and amperage contained in those units, you wouldn't know what hit you.
@@csxrailfanfoamer8118 Yeah, high voltage is nothing to mess around with. The newer road power is a little bit safer than our GP9s, with electrical not exposed. But it's still good to live by the rule of "don't touch"
That is cool but I don't want you to get in trouble for trespassing as it is technically illegal. I hope you got permission first because I just don't want you getting in trouble for something like that. But don't get me wrong the locomotive itself looks cool. I'm just looking out for you that's all
Good way to get the crew in trouble. They are not authorized to let you on the engine much less opening the access doors. All it takes is a CSX official to see this and crew will be in hot water, and you will be in trouble for trespassing
@@DanMeyer80 agreed I took several recordings and was warned not to post a lot of stuff on UA-cam for a while, so it might be a few years before I can put the videos out, but this is one of the videos that you don’t necessarily hear the crew or see them.
@@csxrailfanfoamer8118 unless YOU have a signed liability waiver from the CSX you and the crew can get in hot water. The crew can get fired and you could get a hefty fine for trespassing it don't matter how long you wait to post your videos. Just a reminder from a 30+ year retired class 1 conductor.
Interesting. Soft shoes and no visible crew members. Why do I get the feeling you were there unlawfully. Think I might leave this in CSX Police's DMs. I bet they find it interesting
Crewmembers were there, but they specifically asked to not be in the picture and I didn’t want to get them in any trouble. I was granted permission and was invited on this locomotive. This was a video way back in 2022. I have more just like it. I do not want to share a lot of them due to the fact that I might get the crew in trouble.
Every time I start one of ours I find the sound rewarding.
Nice!!! What railroad?
I love how you still hear the soul of an Alco whenever one of these starts up.
Every sound is spectacular 🤤❤️
Air compressor sounds like it’s about to take off!
Yes sir lol hence why I close the door and walk to the other side of the engine!!!
The sound of a failed startup will definitely get ya to wake up!
It’s actually gonna take off lol 😂
GEVO engine startup are cool, I like it, this sound like a music in my ear
All we need to top this off is Fire coming from the Stack
thanks i can start my GEVO now
Real
Favorite sound ever.....train horns
Very cool. Thanks You very much!
quick question. How does the engine work with the air compressor and other parts?
I am surprised you are on site wearing what looks to be like running shoes.

@@csxrailfanfoamer8118 Makes sense. Great videos!
Great well done!

@@Railroader1206 oh I know, the crew told me “ you’d be dead if lucky “

@@Railroader1206You say this after I had my hands in a main generator today 😂 Brush holder got stuck.
@@CPAlburtisRailroader there's a difference if you're doing work haha

Thanks man!!! permission was granted, I have more videos of the engines, inside and out but I'm waiting to get the go ahead from the crew.
@@csxrailfanfoamer8118 alright that’s good to know. I’m glad you were given the opportunity. Lucky you amirite?
