The Big Move: 16 Locomotives!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- On 9th June 2011, KiwiRail moved a batch of 14 new DL class locomotives from Auckland Port to Te Rapa (Hamilton) in New Zealand, using two earlier DL class to haul them. The 14 brand new locomotives had recently arrived at the port from China, where the 3,650hp locomotives had been built at the CNR Dalian factory.
Here we follow the delivery run of the new locomotives, along the Papakura to Taupiri portion of their journey. - Авто та транспорт
Thanks Geoff. All I can say is, I hope the build quality and reliability is a heap better than Great Wall road vehicles.
It appears it has not been
On the plus side, when you join them all together like this it's hard to tell which one has broken down. ;)
Still better than the EF fleet which last week got down to just one serviceable unit. This week they have two.
They are currently exceeding there availability. All Loco classes imported had issues including the dxs .the design issues with the English electric Locos took years to put right to the extent that nzr refused to buy any more.. they have reordered another 15 dls.
Unique to see so many loco's together at one time. I enjoyed your video skills to boot!!!
Fantastic capture. Well done and thanks for sharing
Viewing those loco's going around a curve from the air, reminds one of a big ass centipede (a big yellow one)
Santa Fe used to do that all the time back in '80s from CA. They had more traffic WB than EB over the weekends. So Mon. mornings they'd send them EB w/a caboose & the train was called a "Cab Hop".
Like Blue Tiger of Germany, these High-Powered Diesel Mainline Engines made by CNR Dalian had their siblings in Malaysia. They are 20 numbers of 29 Class Mainline Diesel Locomotives (29101 - 29120) which were "born" at 2005/2006 as well as using Malaysian Timber Names, have capability to pull 2500 to 3000 Metric Tonnes, and had a horsepower of 3450 hp.
Trains always travel in big groups like this in NZ because they are afraid. They like to keep together for protection from the gangs of marauding sheep, who like nothing better than to attack and molest trains travelling alone or in pairs.
New Zealand is a tough and dangerous place. Life is cheap and tourists are advised to exercise extreme caution if planning to visit. Stay informed of the latest sheep sightings and stay well away from these areas. At the very least tourists should stay in close contact with each other, tied together at all times using a long length of string.
Awesome joke.
Hehehehehehehehe!
Serious or joke ?
Awesome video Geoff, would love to have been there to see that fantastic line up, well worth following, good on ya.
I was aware that the DLs were under-powered but didn't realise they were /that/ under powered. :D
Under powered? They have more power than a dx
@@trevortaylor7702 You didn't get it.
Excellent footage!! Been watching a few train videos lately, starting to get into them lol
Excellent video!
Not often you get to see something like this, good catch.
Wow! Love the paint job!
You saying "no, you can't tell" LOL. I still like your video. Good work.
The move was well known about ahead of time, so no surprise :)
Nice footage. But couldn't they have afforded to get better sounding air horns. Those sounds like some pommy type loco.
Good catch, Geoff.
They don't know it yet but they will need all 16 loco's to move one train.
this REPLY, LIKE, COMMENT, DISLIKE, THUMBS UP ,THUMBS DOWN MAKES ALL THE WEB SITES ENTERTAINING
Great catch ! Superb video
Dam DL's ridding New Zealand of the DC's and DFT's
Great Video, well done
Looks and sounds ok.... but that horn is pretty weak. Pretty disappointed in that.
¡ Un tren de flamantes locomotoras !, excelente. Muchas gracias.
16 new locomotives!!! Great!!!
Awesome catch !
...are they running them all off into the Cook strait?
57600 Hp. Very nice footage.
So thats just one ship engine then or not even close on some ship engines
NICE video, thanks, great shots of rail and scenery! Re: moving locos under own power, see below
In UK, locomotives are delivered by road on low loaders with escorts etc, causing traffic delays! It would be too complicated bureaucracy wise to use rail.
9014 Lead Locomotive : "Come On Chaps, Lets Go" 01:06 A very rare sight.
Didn't know a rail line passed through Buckland. It didn't replace the Bucklebury Ferry, did it?
The railway has run through this Buckland since the 19th century.
The diesels are great. I'm sure I don't want asbestos related cancer.
awesome train video
Are they hauling freight the size of the entire Maintrunk line? haha
Video muito bonito.
Estas maravilhas deveriam operar aqui no Brasil.
I doubt I'll see another power move like this in my lifetime, unless KR decides to start scrapping DC and DFx classes and buying more of these
As of 2021 they are planning on buying more DLs.
1 honey of a power move.
More like Asbestos on the Move
Locomotives
Oh My! They imitated the Bombardier Blue Tiger locomotive design.
Actually it was not made by Bombardier to which theey got the Blue Tiger from ADtrans in the 2001 acquisition. But in retrospect, same layout, slightly different design as these have skinnier engine compartments.
Enough to Pull the Tongue from a Tanipha!!!
2:16 Hey, we have that bell tone too!
That was luck being at the right place at the right time.
16 Locomotoras, Excelente Video.
great video
wow fantastic..like
We've not got any 'Made in China' stock here in the UK yet, but I can see it happening before long. The GE Powerhaul class 70's aren't exactly reliable
Or the 66 they should go back to the 60s way better
Here's a dumb question... couldn't they have used two of the new ones to move them?
+Scy Not with all the bueauracracy in NZ. It's several weeks of clipboard ticking before they even start them.
This video gave me a woody.
show.bem mais bonito que o ac44.o que matou,foi a buzina.se botasse uma buzina parecida com de outras locomotivas ou até mesmo de navio, ficaria show
Class 70s are built to run in pairs like the class 66.
No they are not I haven't seen any vids of 66s or 70s in pairs they're all ways single and they arnt needed to be in pairs cos they are pretty powerful...unreliable yes but powerful so no need to work in pairs
Wow! No graffiti on them! ...How long before that changes?!! :D
+Djinnjaha This is neither india nor romania. (I actually saw another train video, from Romania, where a VERY modern passenger train (like a set, with aerodynamics and everything), was all covered up in grafitti. That makes you wonder what the fuck is wrong with people.
I mean, a lot of places it's common that once something is looking old and shitty, it gets turned even shittier by people (it's well known group psychology). But what goes through someone's mind when they see a brand new thing, and decide to fuck THAT up? It's unbelieveable, and possibly an explanation as to why Romania is a fucking shithole.
Very nice video 👍:-)
The CAB at each end puts a spin on the push pull. Might get a little confused
so nice to see
This locomotive is can to used of meter gauges?
3' 6" to be exact.
Are these locomotives for freight or passengers? Greetings from Dusseldorf.
Strictly freight
They better hope that the locomotives, hold up better than the tools from China do!
you might be surprised. my father has a 30 years old Chinese milling tool that refuses to ever need an repair.
they can do unreliable stuff and some times products with no obsolescence
DID IT WORKED FIRST TIME
yes, the only thing that need change is a rubber pulley.
So how does one transport 14 locomotives from China to NZ so that they all wind up in the same train? That would seem to me to be slightly more than one ship load but what do I know. Any footage of the unloading of these loci's?
+Gra Gor One would presume they were staged at Auckland port until the entire shipment had arrived and been unloaded.
Perhaps they all arrived in the Pearl of the South China Sea. In the 1970's Canadian Pacific's MV Princess of Vancouver would carry 18 to 21 rail cars between Vancouver and Nanaimo. Its now owned by a Hong Kong corporation. It would be a fascinating co-incidence if it were true. More likely they all came in an ordinary ship outfitted with rails and chain tie-downs for the journey.
All on one boat
A potential 58,400 horse power there. That would get you up a hill or two...
At 3,600 rated HP, more like 57,600
Joshua Cornell Yes, you're right, but what's 800hp between friends. Seriously, I don't know how I miscalculated on that one...
You did say potential before the number of hp, it is possible to get more power from add-ons much like Banks power in trucks.
Joshua Cornell I can't imagine it would be really worth performing upgrades just to release another 50hp from each engine, it's not really going to make much difference to an engine with a 3,600hp rating...
How fast would they go if all the locomotives were on at maximum power??
+KasHCubeD They'd go at the maximum line speed (whatever it is for where the train is), wouldn't they?
They've got speed limiters on them. They'd have wicked power output if they were all fired up but they'd only hit 80kph before the limiter kicked in.
Let's say the limiter was off.
@@ChoobChoob still the same speed
This Kiwi Rail using 1067 mm track gauge.
The all is locomotives without a coach.. Where will they go.?
Any prices on these
its all new locomotives
and ready to use at difrent divisons
Come on now children forward we go
How did you get to all these spots in time? They're so close together.
Assembled in China from overseas components on a German diesel GE alternator French switchgear all the best stuff
Wow thats the biggest move ive seen
All on one boat
Cool
What a show off 160,000 hp 10000x16
How the fuck did you work out these locos have a 10000hp engine???
Where are they going?
Looks elegant and neat. Interesting video. Greetings from Indonesia.
esta não são do Brasil ou são?
1700 tons?
Isn't it interesting to see that more foreign locomotives have cabs at both ends? Locomotives of North American origin don't.
Few trains in America only need one locomotive, or need to change direction often.
Well anyways, what country was this is taken?
Bit of a late reply, its in new Zealand
2:56 is that Mercer Highway?
its narrow guage railways?
Yes. 3' 6" to negotiate all the tight bends needed through the mountainous terrain. Google "Raurimu Spiral" for instance :-)
The engineer sits right out front. Even hitting a small car could hurt the engineer and conductor on these DE.
A small car (or any car) gets deflected below running board level, like with any other locomotive. It's happened many times with these locomotives and no train driver has been harmed to date.
are they imported from GE USA???
No from China women in new engines in GE alternator
eue eu contei 17 loco to certo ou nao ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
you see this acertain angle, it looks like a long yellow bug 🙃
CKD9B Diesel locomotive
Onde isso gente
Gostei do modelo da locomotiva ela tem duas frentes e melhor.
Are these locos narrow or standard gauge?
Narrow Gauge
lokomotif terkeren mantap
nice
1:05 anyone notice the Kiwi Rail engine?
I dont see it..
They are made in China
Wou bagus sekali loko ini kayak loko c6 yg ada di Indonesia
Only one is working.
+candreel Two.
The first two are working they are from the first six that arrived
Looks like cc206 in Indonesian
Why aren't the loco numbers all in the same class (90, 91, 92).
+James Elliott They are. The DL class are all numbered in the 9xxx series.
+Geoff Blackmore SO they don't run consecutively? In Oz we run as follows - 9201, 9202, 9203.etc. Or 8101, 8102, 8103 up to the last in the class. If these NZ units are all in the same class, why do they start 90??, 91?? and 92??.
They run consecutively, just not in multiples of one. The DL numbers are 9008, 9014, 9020, 9037, 9043, 9066, 9072, 9089, etc. All numbering here uses this system, as it makes data recording more accurate.
+Geoff Blackmore Consecutively? Hmm. Do your house numbering also run the same "consecutively"? Thanks for your replies - have a great day.
+James Elliott The locos' numbers DO run consecutively as they are built. Why the ones delivered to Kiwi Rail are not numbered consecutively is another matter. CNR has more than one customer )), and if a large order from one customer was built consecutively, it would keep other customers waiting - possibly too long (with failed delivery schedules and liquidated damages claims and all that). Therefore locos for different customers are allocated randomly in ones and twos, not in large batches.
Its looks like cm20emp
Мощная сплотка.
สวยงามมากรถไฟสุดยอด👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘😘😊
They do not know how to lay track straight.
+Robert Gift It's easy to lay track in a country where there is nothing (except either indians or desert). However, try laying tracks in a country where property rights matters.
