At 0:17, 0:22, and 1:39 why does the engine make that sound? The RPM shoots up then drops again. Seeing your other videos, is it overloading and dropping the load, then the governor reacts to the decreased load?

Was this a low hood diesel or high hood? Also I noticed a caboose. It was around the mid to late 80s, early to mid 90s they got rid of cabooses? When was it really when all cabooses were gone?
@amessman18 күн бұрын
Looks light a high hood, in addition, here in Michigan, Soo (CP by that time) was quick to adopt ditch lights and EoTs. This video is dated mid-1994, which is rather late in the days of cabooses on CP trains. CSX had them for much longer.

I may never have a chance to see one going about, especially in Indonesia where I live Because at first, I liked and adore GE locos more than EMD. But, around 2 years recently, I sometimes mocked GE fans in Indonesia because their racism over EMD products. That's caused firstly of the EMD 710Gs with their jet-sounding turbo engine, not like GE which sounded like a steam locos and then slowly, I more like the naturally aspirated EMDs even sometimes I mimics their sound when idle and from idle through notch 😂 Superb video there mate, cheers👍🏽

There were no Alco's on the BN in 1994. The last of the inheritance left the roster in the early 80's. This train has three SD40-2's and a pair of C30-7's.

I did a Google maps search of this (now CP owned) yard and was very pleasantly surprised to see their yard was FULL of freight cars. And on the opposite end of the yard, they have a roundhouse and turntable which probably isn't used. The crossover is still there, much of it looks the same..
@bemseer3 жыл бұрын
Jeremy. Thanks for the comment. When I worked at this yard in the ‘70’s, it was owned by the Milwaukee Road. The mainline tracks were the Rock Islands line between Chicago and Kansas City. The wooden yard office has been torn down and replaced with a metal trailer by the CP. The turntable you mentioned is still in operation.
