UP repainted it when they traded it and some other stuff for the 4014. It may have been rebuilt at the time as part of the deal, but not sure about that one.
Growing up, my father was an engineer for Conrail. It wasn't till 5yrs or so after he retired that I gained an interest in railroading. Now that he passed, I have so much regret.
Amazing engines. Technically they can burn just about any liquid fuel you ever burnt to do anything but the EPA would have a cow. That engine might have never seen 1000 rpm and that fact blows me away, too. Great "music video" and thank you so much!
That's the only operational locomotive at the Railgiants Train Museum. It sits on static display. UP #3105 still looks amazing after being traded for #4014.
The SD40 has an Australian cousin, the West Australian Government Railways L class Some of them are still working commerically to this day, 50 years since they entered service
This is at the Rail Giants Museum in Pomona, CA. When they took UP 4014, UP gave the museum an sd40-2 to replace the Big Boy’s spot. It was an ex- Mo-Pac sd40-2 and had a new paint scheme. So that’s why it looks new and clean.
Why do you miss it? There are still plenty of them running the rails in the form of SD-70M, SD-70ACe, and the early SD-70AH models. It's the same engine, just a 710 cubic inch per cylinder instead of the 645 cubic inch per cylinder.
If you only knew what real up units look like after the paint dries. A lot of the "rebuilds" are poorly masked in the interior quite often. Sometimes the porta-potties at the local event are much more cleaner than up toilets. The pandemic changed things for about three months then, after that the crap just oozed downhill. I've seen more spill over from toilets than i care to see.
I remember sitting in 4014s cab when it was still there, sometime in 2011. I remember it as the Pomona Fairplex. I didn't know it was called Rail Giants, so... and it is kind of ironic since they have a narrow gauge 2-8-0, an old switcher, and a climax.
@@Awesomeman1987 But seems like EMD prefer to use starter, most EMD crank-up videos I have seen are starter crank-up, only have seen 1 video about 567 series old EMD use generator crank-up.
Ran 4 16 cylinders and 2 12 cylinders on my drill ship, running each EMD 3 days 24 hours a day, or when moving the ship run all motors together cantilever we arrived on drill site. We NEVER ever had any leaking oil problems. But, we pretty much rebuilt each EMD after 300 running hours. Easiest motor I ever worked on. EMDs' will be around a long time in the USA, no matter what the Clean air supporters say or do, no matter the extreme advancements in Electric Motors, you can not electrify the US rail system, not the whole thing, it's way to large. BUT that's not the real reason for not electrifying the system. The real reason is Nation Security, consider the foreign power that hacks the system. Also, a EMP bomb would shut down America. But a rail system that relies on thousands of independent Locomotives are pretty safe. Europe lives in la la land. They have only had peace for about 60 years. They had at lest two world wars, and dozens of border conflicts. The Ukraine, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus have had invasions just recent history. So, their all electric rail system could easily end one of them. Maybe 200 years with no wars or border conflicts we will go electric. Until then I bet on EMD's.
Erm...GE's throw pistons and cylinder heads into traffic and through the roof's of peoples homes. A fair size chunk of my family works on the railroad in Canada here. One of my cousin' mechanic'd on ALCo's, GE's and EMD's and said the EMD's bar-none the best overall running engine out there. Like to know more about your experience about "leaking" EMD's. Pielstick engines leak drip oil like the exxon valdez. Boils down to proper maintenance procedures (competency and actually giving a fk) when assembling an engine to keep it from being a leaker.
That's because the engines in EMD locomotives are Detroit Diesel...That's why it's a two stroke...General Motors created and founded both Detroit Diesel and Electro Motive Division. The labeling of the engines are the same as well.The numbers "567","645",and "710" refers to how many cubic inches each cylinder has.Then the numbers "12-" "16-" "20-" refer to how many cylinders the engine has itself.Just like how "8V-71","8V-92",or "6V-53" means you have six or eight cylinders and 53,71,or 92 cubic inches per cylinder.The same thing like I said applies to 16-645's,16-567's,or 16-710's. Detroit Diesel is now owned by Mercedes Benz and EMD is owned by Caterpillar,that's why the SD70ACE-T4's have Caterpillars in them.
I was on an excursion a few days ago with three SD40-2's 9000 tons and, 33 miles per hour in notch8 with a mile to go before the restricting signal then, kick to the extended range dynamic brakes almost to a complete stop. Good times.
You can't tell me that isn't a GM Engine. It's even Green. Just like a Detroit. Just a big Detroit 2 Stroke Diesel. 16 Cyl two V-8 blocks bolted together. Even the side plate inspection covers look about the same. If you pull one off you can see the Piston. I drove many Detroit's 31 yrs. Drove one that was so worn out. You could pull the inspection covers off & the Rings were GONE... it Smoked Bad had no Power. The 2 strokes had no torque on low end. The power band on those engines was between 1900 & 2350 RPM'S they are History Now. I am not so able any longer but I spent 31 yrs running through the Night out there over the Road. Hope someone enjoys reading about these Great American Engines
@@harrimanfox8961 Well yea if you look closely at those they are two V-8 blocks bolted together. Or it looks to be welded together. Also if you Google who built EMD Train Engines GM GENERAL MOTORS built them. Detroit's also were. I never was a Train Anything. I just sorta figured slot of this out. & Drove Trucks 31 years & many Detroit's. All these Train Engines are 2 strokes. To my surprise even the Engine that CAT built they had to make a 2 stroke Diesel !
Why can’t we put EMD tech in road vehicles? This technology has been around since the 1920s, and has been in use basically since the 1940s. Right in plain sight most people have no idea how trains move, and don’t know that trains were basically the first hybrids and with a technology way older than they would guess if asked. In theory wouldn’t a modern sized car engine be able to drive a generator able to power electric motors to the wheels of a car?
They're not hybrids -- there's no battery. (Well, there is a battery but, like an ordinary car, it's used for starting, not for powering the wheels.) There's no reason to use a diesel-electric transmission in a car, as a mechanical transmission through a gearbox works fine. That doesn't work on a railway locomotive because putting 3000hp through a clutch would be a nightmare.
Yes, hundreds of them -- probably even thousands. (Unless you specifically mean SD40s, as distinct from the SD40-2s. There are surely some original SD40s still in service on short lines, but I've no idea how many.)
The GP60's & SD60's were the first units to have the 710-G3A's.The 710-G3C's had the highest horsepower rating in the SD75I's & SD75M's.The biggest variant and for most horsepower was the 20-710 G3B-EC's in the SD80MAC's.The SD9043MAC convertibles had 710-G3B's like all other SD70 variations but that was suppose to be briefly because the units still had extra motor mounts for the bigger 265H's if those weren't failures which did happen. The GP50's & SD50's with the 645F3's were the last units to have that series and were just the beginning of EMD's downfall.That was the result of too much horsepower,overpromising,cutting costs,and cheap electronics.EMD vaguely attempted to make up for more horsepower after what happened with the 20-645E3's in the SD45's,F45's/FP45's,SD45-2's,SD45T-2's, SDP45's,and SD45M's which had numerous crankshaft failures.
How can only one engine which is all the way front of the train pushes forward all the heavy taxies even wheels are no grips ? Why engines wheels jus slips and rolling at the track at the beginning? I don’t understand this mechanics? Can any one clear my mind?
Sanding gear applies sand to stop wheel slipping - especially to get the train moving. Also, adhesion - there would be 25 tons plus, on each axle and 3300 horsepower. This SD40 loco would have no trouble shifting 1200 tons plus train.
I absolutely love the sound of these 645s, one of the best sounding Diesel engine, if not the best
All detroits are the best sounding
Cleanest SD40-2 I've ever seen!
Indeed..
Oh yeah It is Clean. Maybe It was rebuild recently
Jorge Rodriguez its at a rail museum. I think the rail giants museum in CA
It was just repainted at the time of the video taken
UP repainted it when they traded it and some other stuff for the 4014. It may have been rebuilt at the time as part of the deal, but not sure about that one.
That is the cleanest SD40 engine ever!
I'd say the sound the best, but the SD-80MAC is pretty hard to beat.
That engine and locomotive are immaculate
I love seeing a clean one like that! Beautiful, and sounds great.
such an amazingly designed engine. looks so badass
Growing up, my father was an engineer for Conrail. It wasn't till 5yrs or so after he retired that I gained an interest in railroading. Now that he passed, I have so much regret.
Sad to hear your father died.
Jon Doe I hope you find peace. I recently lost my Father as I was holding his Hand...

Nice video! I remember this locomotive at the la county fair in Pomona. UP 3105. I took a picture of this baby too. I love SD40s
Love these cold star videos :) Nice sound
SOOOOOOOOOOO badass!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta love the old EMDs!!!!!!!!
Such a cool sound! Must have been great to be there in person.
Yeah, It was.
Music to my ears I love the SD40-2 the best locomotives ever including the 710 prime mover
It's a 645 E3 diesel prime mover sir.
@@KurtBenning I know even the SD60 and SD70 series that had a 710 sound the best at run 8 so does the 645
This train sounds like the startup from Unstoppable movie
Justin Rombough same type of engine.
@Rails Unlimited EB And AWVR 777 and railfanning even though the 777 is an AC4400 not an SD40 lol those editors
@Pia lmao not possible
777 has a ge fd7l or 7fdl v16 4 stroke, the denzel operated sd40-2 has this 16-645e v16 2 stroker by emd
7fdl rated at 4400 hp, 16-645e rated at 3000 hp i may added.
Great rail therapy my friend...Thumbs UP!!!
What a studly engine! I wish I had that EMD piston and connecting rod next to the fuel tank in my collection.
Lol, Would be nice.
I wish I had the Sd40 in my collection!
Fox River Railfan me too!
I wished you had the EMD in your DODGE! Hi U 2!
I which I had the whole train in my....jkjk
Amazing engines. Technically they can burn just about any liquid fuel you ever burnt to do anything but the EPA would have a cow. That engine might have never seen 1000 rpm and that fact blows me away, too.
Great "music video" and thank you so much!
I need one of these engines for my ford truck. Then maybe I can haul that light bulb back from walmart.
lol yes
NO!!! You surely don't want to put an old leaky GM engine in that in that nice Ford truck.
Its better than the microwave the ford probably has right now
J S fuck your ford
Guy - Whoa dude, you're taking this way too serious. Had a bad day?
Love the sound of all those horses starting up
How good is that,imense power ,wonerderful noise at idle,i could listen to that all day.
I love the sound of the EMD 645 V16 diesels!!
this is where 4014 used to sit... good to see something in operating condition to take her place.
maybe the UP can put a true siding in there so she can visit,after her rebirth.
Best part about it is that 4014 is running and restored!! Shes back in the lines and currently touring Wyoming and Utah!!
I saw 4014 and 844 in council bluffs iowa last summer
0:21 it thinks it's a steam locomotive
It was a Steam Locomotive
That's the only operational locomotive at the Railgiants Train Museum. It sits on static display. UP #3105 still looks amazing after being traded for #4014.
Beautiful Jet Like sound👌
I love trains journeys. I feels my thinking changed every time i rides.
Love the sound...Comparable to a jet plane...In terms of pleasure...
The SD40 has an Australian cousin, the West Australian Government Railways L class Some of them are still working commerically to this day, 50 years since they entered service
that a testimony to the quality of the build
and the C-class too, all 10 in service, SD40's
Cool Museum. Found it by accident when I was there for the drag races.
It looks like when SD40's were still new.
This is at the Rail Giants Museum in Pomona, CA. When they took UP 4014, UP gave the museum an sd40-2 to replace the Big Boy’s spot. It was an ex- Mo-Pac sd40-2 and had a new paint scheme. So that’s why it looks new and clean.

ust great video, greeting from usa
Que perrón suenan estos motorsotes al encenderlos pura fuerza bruta
Oh how I miss hearing these rolling up and down the rails. Nothing like the sound of a 2 stroke.
Why do you miss it? There are still plenty of them running the rails in the form of SD-70M, SD-70ACe, and the early SD-70AH models. It's the same engine, just a 710 cubic inch per cylinder instead of the 645 cubic inch per cylinder.

That 645 drive engine also powered the F40PH "Screamer" locomotives.
True!!
The main difference is that the F40PH used the engine to generate HEP also which is why the engine was used in higher RPMs
I remember sitting in 4014s cab when it was still there, sometime in 2011. I remember it as the Pomona Fairplex. I didn't know it was called Rail Giants, so... and it is kind of ironic since they have a narrow gauge 2-8-0, an old switcher, and a climax.

This is a diesel-electric drivetrain. I believe the generator also doubles as a starter when power is applied to it.
@@Awesomeman1987 But seems like EMD prefer to use starter, most EMD crank-up videos I have seen are starter crank-up, only have seen 1 video about 567 series old EMD use generator crank-up.
it has 2 Delco Remy 40MT starters, same as in big truck engines of the 70's thru 2000.
They have 2 (at least the ones that aren't air-start, never worked on one to know) and they're about 6in across and 24in long.
They run good but I used to run a five pack of these in power plant stationary service....know what they do best?? Leak oil

How often do they fire her up?
Not sure, Probably 2 days a week..
they should connect the tracks back there for their own landlocked railroad.
MrUp8444 does this diesel locomotive still operate?
Isn’t it supercharged (scavenged)?
The high pitched whine you hear is the gear drive on the turbocharger. The gears turn it until it gets enough exhaust flow to take over.

Hand-hole covers for inspection and maintenance in the airbox and crankcase.
How can only one engine which is all the way front of the train pushes forward all the heavy taxies even wheels are no grips ? Why engines wheels jus slips and rolling at the track at the beginning? I don’t understand this mechanics? Can any one clear my mind?
