Beautiful. Nothing like the sound of an EMD prime mover. Great vid. I used to lie awake at night and listen to the 1st generation EMDs switching in the local yard. It was a regular symphony to fall asleep by.
Thanks for the memories. I drove both these guys in the mid seventies - and walked along the roof thru' the exhaust to wash the windows, filled the sandboxes, washed the floors, filled the ice box, helped the mechanical and electrical fitters do maintenance, shunted 'em. And out on the track to Cook - freight and Indian Pacific. In the then Commonwealth / National Australian Railways. And watched them out of my primary school window (except CLP 3 ) . My mother and my aunt worked in the dining cars, Mum continued long after me. When I moved to Sydney in early 90's she would come into Central with CLP3 pulling ( modified CL 3) and I lived 7 minutes walk from Central. A strange thing happened after moving to Central Coast . (My friend in primary school also got a job in Commonwealth Railways at the same time as I. As an electrician apprentice, he worked on all these locos in the Pt .Augusta maintenance shops. I was in Port Pirie but moved to Pt. Augusta for my actual driver training) In 2011 I saw GM22 in a siding near Woy Woy station. I have seen a few old GM's with private railways over the years, but GM 22 was just there. I remarked to myself ''There's GM22, dead'' - using the old parlance for a non-working engine. When I got home I had a txt message that my friend had committed suicide.
This is a hit. Very well done. The 4K is awesome. As for audio, you really can't get much better without dragging out pro recording equipment. NO wind noise! Nice.
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER Super! I don't know anything about GoPro's, but seems like they are EQ'd for mid and highs over low end response. Still missing the gutwrenching rumble, but no biggie. What does get me is watching videos of pipe organ recordings and having NO or weak foot pedal frequencies! To me, it's like watching something in B&W instead of color.
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER Hey, don't worry about it! I'm a bass geek. Many years ago, we lived right next to a railroad spur in Chicago. I would set up mics and try to record the loco's as they would pass through. I had, back then, just a Sony stereo cassette recorder! During playback, I'd crank up the bass on my little 50 watt stereo to try to "reproduce" the same deep pulsing engine sounds that the actual loco's would produce! LOL. One time, at like 3am, while the whole family was sleeping, I played back a recording of a train! I cranked the volume till my walls were vibrating! Nobody woke up! Slept right through it! LOL. Fun times.
Ahh yes, this is my go to place for my GM 2 stroke fix, the blown 567 will steal the show every time for that "noise" that we crave, great stuff Mr ATD.
Love the camera framing on this one too mate and the really wide angle lens really makes it too. Its good to see the GoPro maintained a good exposure and color balance to capture the sunset even as the color temp cooled. Nice work 👍👍
Hi Adam, another great video, the only time I get close to those old " bull dogs " is at the Newport Railway Museum where I volunteer, we have B83 ( 3,323,435 travelled miles ) and S308 (3,583,104 travelled miles ). Many thanks and stay safe. Cheers Lee.
As a kid growing up in NC USA, (70’s vintage 😎) the main east coast line owned by Seaboard Coast line ran through the middle of my grandparents home town. For me , hearing the train horn meant a trip to the road in front of my grandparents house to catch a glimpse of the train. The sound of these old engines remind me of those days. The streamliners were fazed out by the early 70’s so I’ve only seen them in museums. There’s a short line company close to where I live that has one that runs occasionally hooked to an excursion and dinner train but I haven’t seen it run up close. You Aussies are badasses up and down. Hats off and hopefully those engines of yours will run another 50 years. Much love from the USA. Oh, what track width do you guys run. It’s 56 1/2 inches for standard here. Not sure of the metric equivalents.
They just give their best output, so the lower power locos won't be assisting greatly at high speed, but get down to the grind and their bottom end power comes in to play, they are all connected via a multi unit cable and the locos training if online will get the same governor response as the lead unit, the locos automatically make transition and adjust their own generator field given the need for load and power required..
I suppose staying awake on real long trips can be a real mother. Is it possible to make a live show one day. I see they do it in Norway?. It would be real nice to see. The countryside in Australia looks just like South Africa's :-)
Those streamlined CL ones are the babys I grew up with. Id ride my bike down to near the old flourmill and watch the guys start em up. Theres something so special and unique about them. 2 stroke 16cylinder power! So are these still active service locos? I seem to remember them being red coloured in nsw? Could be wrong. Jeeze id love to see in side that. I always wondered.
Yes a few are still in service, they have been a few colours, google will tell show you. Red, silver, green yellow, the CLP is meant to eventually end up looking like GM27 - S317
man..I could so go to sleep with that sound......:)

They sound so good.
Now this need to be played in a cinema with all that thunderous sound equipment.
AWESOME

Wow that's an incredible story! Thanks for sharing that, glad this had brought back some memories even if not all took you back to better times.
WONDERFUL and AMAZING! Thanks!
Awesome video. Love hearing the 645 and the 567 prime movers throttle up. Sweet music to my ears 😎
Look after them ,for the day cometh when we will no longer there there music through the hills and valleys of Victoria ,Amen
its nice seeing old emd's out and about instead of having to sit in a museum all year
Another fantastic vid. Love to get my bucket and sponge and give the old girl a wash. Streamliners are best looking loco. Thanks
This is a hit. Very well done. The 4K is awesome. As for audio, you really can't get much better without dragging out pro recording equipment. NO wind noise! Nice.
Cheers, I messed with the equaliser on this one, and upped the bass a little.

Agree man! I'm working on a few things, but I'll see what I can do. Wind noise can be the issue alot, especially when recording from a locomotive

I can't believe they force you to listen to that sweet sound and pay you too. I'll have to listen to this again!
Amazing how smoothly revs climb on such a big engine
The good old Woodward governor does a swell job!
Streamliner body. ✔️ Roots blown EMD. ✔️ R/S-5T horn. ✔️ Best of every world! 👍
Many trips in the Second Class carriage to Ballarat from the Spenser Street station behind these locos in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Love the sound of these V16 diesels!
Ahh yes, this is my go to place for my GM 2 stroke fix, the blown 567 will steal the show every time for that "noise" that we crave, great stuff Mr ATD.
Thanks mate! Good to know everyone enjoys it. I too love the engine sounds!

Great video
Needs playing when my wife goes out
Mine would love it!
Lol I thought that CLF had sheet metal for windows at the start haha
Love these trains. Not going to lie, these style of trains appeared scary at night when I was a kid.
Fantastic vid, love the audio! Brings me back to watching VHS tapes and DVD’s about Victoria’s trains when I was a wee young lad.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks great sound. Rellies live over your way. I'll listen out for you
The ole girl always plays second fiddle and never gets a bath. Great stuff!👍👍😎🇺🇸

Is the Edward Henty still going or scraped
Still going.
I saw her derailed on the sideing to the Newport power station many years ago
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER Hi Adam, Thankyou for your reply to Kay Peeke's question, I was not sure if it was still running. Cheers Lee.
id love to see the uncut footage
Most of it is the same, but I do have it.
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER i just wanna hear more of those locos, such a beautiful sound
Love that low frequency rumble of the turbo prime mover on the CLF3. Would love to take a pressure washer (and about 4 days lol) to it.
Music! I'd also love the uncut version. Would be the best slow TV around
So very sad to see "Albury South Box " is such a state of despair, as with most of the major yards it is well past it's hey days.
"Hay" day.
From the expression "to make hay while the sun shines".
Fantastic stuff Mate!!!!!, filming, sound, editing the lot!!!!!!.....Cheers from Your Southern NSW SSR Brother/Comrade 👌🇦🇺💪👍

Our main lines in Australia are standard gauge and broad gauge 5'3" as well as some narrow gauge 3'6"
That is magic. Nice one.
Great show! I reckon GM27 didn’t have to try too hard to steal the show, it DID! 👍👍!!
The last of the V8's
McCracken well said 👍🇦🇺
Great video , sounds just like our 071 class which have the 12cyl 645 - E3 engine.
Awesome!
Luv the sound them loc's working hard there AUSSIETRAINDRIVER nice as video always mate pure powerhouses.
Built by Clyde Engineering ?
Sure was!
Love the noise. I know the last 12 months have been strange but I'm sure Victoria is still in the south east
how do the locos sync when they have different engines when under load
They just give their best output, so the lower power locos won't be assisting greatly at high speed, but get down to the grind and their bottom end power comes in to play,
they are all connected via a multi unit cable and the locos training if online will get the same governor response as the lead unit, the locos automatically make transition and adjust their own generator field given the need for load and power required..
love it, another great video made by you, SUBCRIBED .....

The countryside in Australia looks just like South Africa's :-)
Country side on the eastern coast of Australia. It is different closer to the interior.
The old girl needs a bit of a scrub bloke ;)
Sure does.
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER stop by Benders and I'll give it a wash....oh wait. 😂😂
I don't know why, but seeing these babies from decades ago gives me the creeps.
SUPER !
wow !
Forward vision preferred
Nah, enjoy the artistry of the rear facing
More coming.
