To quote the catcher from The Sandlot: "You're killing me here, Smalls!" Just three more reasons why can never get excited over boring widecab GEVOs. Can't beat the sound of a 567 in notch 8!
Very rare engines, even back then! The only other SD28s I'm aware of belonged to the Illinois Central and they only rostered 2 of them. Great video as always!
One of the sounds of FREEDOM, I love it. I Like it also because there is no music with the video, just the way a video should be. Thank you for such a treat....
Growing up around the time when the 645 was popular, it's great to hear the difference between the 567 and 645's. They sound like they could grab one more notch in this video! Definitely a treat to see the older power recorded; thanks again!
love the 567 sound. growing up along the ohio river, i heard trains and towboats both powered by 567s and 645s and Fairbanks Morse. Soothing sounds to grow up to especially at night when in bed.
virginian 2-10-10-2 To this day, though the nearest line is miles away, I can still hear the rumbling of engines and their horns when I wake up at 4 in the morning to go back to sleep. I bet that the locomotives I was hearing had 645s (:
I was wrong about this. I have never heard of an SD 28 before this video. They look like SD 38s but have 547 Prime movers. Evidently they were very rare
@@mm-gl7sz actually they are just a non-turbo version of the sd35, not sd38. The prime mover is a 567, not 547 (no such thing as a 547). the last engine is an sd18, not a geep. :) edit: and yes, sd28's were pretty rare, with only 6 built
If I remember correctly, the caboose was wrecked in a collision a couple days later and was destroyed, along with one of the SD28's. Thanks for watching.

These were the days when locomotives could show us how powerful and determined they were to get the job done. Today's power takes the excitement out of the struggle.
"You don't holler whoa, baby, that old muuule's pullin' hard"-Jimmy Reed, "Down In Mississippi" Bit of whimsy, I suppose. I kept thinking that lyric while I was enjoying the rhythm of might.
Sweet music to my ears! There's nothing better than a herd of 567's or 645's going by you in notch 8 with a heavy train! Whether they are turbo or na it's way better than the quiet stuff they are making today. Namely gevos
brings back my best train memory when I viewed two PRR F units( 9823 & 9560 )howling in a snowstorm with 38 loaded hoppers and another 4 EMD's cut in before the cab pushing hard at Revloc,Pa.in 1963.Train came up from Nantyglo to the summit in Ebensburg.Heard it for nearly half an hour winding around the mountains.Sadly tracks are now a bike path but what I saw 54 years ago is etched in my brain forever.The picture I took is in Al Staffers book"Penny power 2".
Nice video, I love the sound of this engine. Here in Brazil The company MRS has some models of the SD18 still in operation. Already this model of SD28, is identical to the SD38 that the MRS has here with the engine 16-645E aspirated (without turbo). When they were acquired they were to pull the iron ore trains.
Wow. The only thing that would make this better is if they were double headed steamers! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the sound of the 567! When I sleep over at my grandparent's house, I am lulled to sleep by the sound of 567's working in the nearby railyard.
In 1969 my family moved into a new house about 3/4 mile from the Missouri Pacific line in Austin, Texas. The line has a fairly steep grade from the Colorado River, downtown, for about 5-5.5 miles north bound. Nowadays the line is in the middle of what Austinites call MoPac Blvd., which is actually a freeway-grade highway with four lanes of traffic in each direction. Before MoPac was built I could hear all the 567 units laboring upgrade, particularly at night, when all the city's other "white noise" producers were idle. Back then MoPac's philosophy seemed to be two lash together about 100 freight cars, add six or seven 567's, and haul ass. F3s, F7s, GP-7s and 9s, GP-18's would drag theirs trains northbound and their exhaust and rumble would be pronounced through our neighborhood. Perhaps lying in bed listening to the diesels slugging it out upgrade is when I developed the notion that for a town or city to have promise that both a river and railroad were necessary before a kid could enjoy the mystery posed by horizons: what's downstream or what is St. Louis, MO like. All I knew for sure was that St. Louis was 941 miles north of Austin, TX, and the Texas Eagle went north every day. Thanks for a great video and fond recollection!
I miss the sound of 567s. When I was growing up FEC still had some high hood GP9s on their roster for local jobs and that's what they sounded like at full chat.
The sound of these EMD locomotives reminds me of the Irish A class Metropolitan Vickers locomotives after these were rebuilt with EMD engines. I recall how on a sultry summer day the sound of such an engine would carry on the air.
Still the best EMD soundtrack, the non turbo 567, remember them sounding like this on railroad lines in Belgium, where on the grades they would use 2 or 3 loco's on iron ore and steel trains, and the good old 567 would take the abuse of pulling a train uphill notch 8 at 15mph for ever.
Our family moved to a new house in 1969. It stood about 4 long blocks from MoPac's 200-foot-wide right-of-way. Back then MoPac ran long trains behind F7s, GP 18 (riding on trucks from scrapped Alco units - mostly PAs), GP7s, and GP9s. An expressway was built on either side of the MoPac tracks and the expressway is known locally as "MoPac Blvd". Northbound MoPacs trains had a steep grade to fight all the way from the Colorado River bottoms to Snead siding, a distance of roughly 6 miles. At night I would lie in bed and listen to the music produced by the 567s traveling upgrade. Since MoPac Blvd was completed all one can hear is the white noise of traffic.
Kids these days don't know this sound. Luckily, I was born shortly before all that wide-cab silenced stuff was popular. I love this sound!! Thank you for sharing these videos, keep up the amazing shots!
My initial fans was when SD40-2 was hot&new....realizing so many generations of locos have come thru to crawl up these rails since then is really a wakeup call as to how really old I am & how long I've been appreciating this amazing industry .....I'd deeply admire the industry if they'd treat workers fairly, beside being in awe of the tonnage accomplished day to day toward great economic power of USA. Anyway, thanks for your vids. I'll watch more.
Jake, we have lost so much over the years. I remember my very young years, my dad and grandpap would take me trackside in northern NJ. I remember the end of Erie steam on locals coming through the station, and vacationing at the Jersey shore, the Pennsy K4's up to 1957, then the big Sharks and PA's, the CNJ double ender Baldwins. Seen so many models over the years. I don't even bother going out anymore. Everything is boring, and looks the same. Train lengths have doubled, one unit on the front, one in the middle, just plain boring. My front porch is 23 feet from the CSX, ex-B&O mainline, so I can watch right from the window. Sometimes even then! I don't even turn my head, unless I hear a strange horn. I host the Railstream LLC camera here at the house. Its Railstreams "Hog Pen" camera, named after the signal location a 100' down from me. Some crews called it, "Jacks Hog Pen" so I knew they were coming. LOL ua-cam.com/video/D7TziFfVhlU/v-deo.html
Man, that's some serious pulling power and a pretty mean exhaust note as a bonus. I would like to put one of those diesels in my truck then I could get to work on time.
Makes me really miss pulling the 2.7% grade out of Peace River Alberta with a quadruple set of well worn CN SD40-2's. On a good day or night when they were all actually loading properly (which was only about half of the time), they pulled like a bastard. Whatta rush.
It has CottonBelt! I'll be posting a video in about an hour of what's been eating up all my time recently. Car show season is on me, and I had lots to do to get ready for it. There was a few guys wanted to know if I was OK, or if something happened to me. I'm alive and kickin! Thanks for your support, and watching...
I grew up on the Mississippi river, blessed to be between the Burlington Route, C&NW, Milwaukee Road, and TowBoats, The C&NW ran Alcos, the rest had EMDs, what a childhood! My question, didn't C&NW run these in high hood units out of the Messabi range in the 60s?
Hearing how powerful that train sounds, you know some serious shit is going on in the locomotive's engine compartment. This is the kind of sound I'd like to put on an endless loop and plug my headphones into with the low end bass turned way up to pump me up for a major job interview or to get me motivated enough to tell my wife to stop spending all of my money and to stop treating me like a little girl. Just kidding! But the train sounds badass. I'd still run it through my headphones though.
I can close my eyes and I'm back in 1983 listening to two F7s of the Seattle and North Coast approaching the crossing next to my childhood house.
I remember the FP9s that the Algoma Central had for and all-too-short period of time. I'll never forget what a quartet of 567s in the middle of the Agawa Canyon sounds like!
The sound of work being done, money being made, jobs being had!
For sure michigandon! Thanks for watching...
Yeah, I would say so. Looks like a load of either crushed stone or iron ore.
At least the ballast dosn't also come from China! Yet!

Brings back memories of standing in the same spot and watching the big mallets pulling up that hill when I was a youngin'.
This is the best train video on UA-cam. That non-turbocharge 567 sound is absolutely perfect.
Glad you enjoyed it. They sure did sound fantastic. Thanks for watching...
