      Rudolf got fucked over bad though by the petroleum industry. He designed the engine to run from peanut oil or derivatives, and as a result got "disappeared" during a trip aboard an ocean liner. Then it was re-engineered to run on distilled petroleum products.

    A wonderful sound you rarely hear anymore. When I was a small boy, my Dad took me to Chicago where EMD had an office (Michigan Avenue?) with a cutaway of a 567 diesel. It was motorized so you could see all the parts moving; it was extremely fascinating to me (and to Dad). Amazing I still remember this (more than 70 years ago). This was in the late 1940s when railroads were rapidly retiring steam for diesels.

    I've always loved the sound of GM 2-stroke diesels. Whether it's the big EMD's on the rails or the Detroits on the road. I think my favorite is the EMD 16-645-E3. When I was a kid in the 80's these were still pretty common on the main lines. there was a main and a few smaller branch lines close to our house. And late at night it was very common to hear those big engines rumbling about notch-4 with that real low frequency resonation that you could feel in the house. And then you'd hear a few blasts of the horn as they went through the crossings about 1/4 mile away. Would love to get up close to one some day.

    This makes me miss the sound of S302 when she used to be on Warrnambool. I lived in east Geelong and on a windy day she used to sound like she was about to come through the front gate as they approached Sth Geelong Station.

      It's still running around, it's my favourite S class for that reason! It screams! Got videos of S302 on my UA-cam going into Elphinstone tunnel from the roof.

    Before the electrification of the South Coast Line, NSWGR 421 classes were rostered on as the train engine on late night passenger turns. I would lie in bed hear them chattering away between Allan’s Creek and Unanderra, the sounds carrying on the still night air. They weren’t too popular on that turn. The train would stop at North Wollongong and then lift the train up the 1:100 to Wollongong. You could hear them working hard all around the ‘Gong, waking people from their slumbers. Good times!

    I used to hear these 567 motors, with two strokes, around the U.S. during my childhood. The next bigger motor still sounded cool, but these older motors have that bass, are tough sounding, and have an attitude, as Stevo, the Crocodile Hunter would say, "Don't muck with me!"
    Thank you for sharing this cool video of classic railroading at its finest!
    Love the plumes of diesel smoke too!

    Two each of these @ 900 HP in every LST produced for WW2. The one of them that brought back LST 325 to US waters, made the trip from UK with a busted cylinder. Looks and sounds like 71 series Detroit Diesels, cause Charles Kettering worked on both at the same time.

    Love the sound. As the Loco's left town they would be getting a bit of a pounding and on cool clear nights you could hear them whine. And the scent of a Diesel. Never forget driving a short empty fuel train as a 12 or 13 year old watching the brake gauge and speed with sweaty hands for a few klm with my Dad right behind me. Oh the Seventies
