0:37 - hurry up and wait, railroading right there. Great video, love those old EMDs. There's a 69 year old SD7 still at work in the Pacific North-West... marvellous machines built by proper engineers.

[@larslarsen1444]

I love to listen to these big diesel engines

[@MrRandom750]

Very cool , never knew Aussie man worked on the rail road

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

Haha cheers!

[@LIMowersAndMore]

Man I love that classic EMD sound! Nothing like it!

[@dougobrien4877]

This type of diesel locomotive has always been my favorite.

My Grandpa Larsen worked for Union Pacific for sixteen years . He was a brakeman and he checked the wheels . Union Pacific has a museum in the old library in Council bluffs Iowa by the Golden Spike .

How cool! They run some massive trains over there! I'd love to see some one day!

Goodday Adam, Your video's just get better & better. Sweet sweet EMD, mighy have to make it my ring tone. At Emerald Grain now the place is empty hope to see your combo in soon. Cheers Louis 👍

Great video friend👍 Thanks for sharing... From Indonesian railways.

[@supercuda1950]

I look forward to watching your videos everyday. It's amazing that we are 10000 miles apart and able to communicate. I been doing some studying on Australia. Very interesting country, very beautiful and I love the kangaroos. Keep up the good work and good seeing Casper again.

Very nice video & great camera angles. Nice to see the wattle out in bloom too.

Great footage, thanks Adam! Those sleepers looking very old! I read further speed restrictions were enforced on the branch line this week? Hopefully they (ATRC) do some urgent work on it for you guys!

[@jeffr100rs]

Cool stuff! I used to be a fireman at Benalla in the early eighties and would often go to Oaklands and even further, I forget the name of the place at the end of the broad gauge.

[@mattsutherland120]

G’day from Benalla, great video mate. Always love the sound of your locos going thru town!

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

Cheers!

I am from Oakland and live in Oakland so I clicked. Would have anyway. Love those engines. Always wondered if those little round windows help. Looks like they do. Thanks for such an interesting video.

[@petermiller9712]

WHAT A MIGHTY MIGHTY SOUND GREAT VIDEO LOVED IT.

[@crocbaitaussie5204]

Nice footage and sound. Takes me back to listening to the drivers start opening up a loco on a clear night with Northbound traffic leaving Rockhampton Queensland a long time ago. Unsure what Class but nothing this big

Space Ghost putting in work! Such a beautiful rig. I did a little digging and it looks like auscisionmodels is going to put out an HO scale model of the CLF's and CLP's and they're doing one of CLF3. with DCC and sound it'd be around $300 US plus shipping here to the states if they even offer worldwide shipping. Might have to pick one up.

Love the stream liners ! Hate to be dumb but we’re these engines built in Australia under a GM license or were they imported from US?

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

Engines were imported from emd USA.

[@lachlanbaker2031]

The prime movers were imported but the loco itself is Australian designed and built

[@muhammadchalidafin5644]

From this locomotive I remember the union Pacific "overland" the shape of the locomotive is similiar like this.but the color is yellow and brown.

[@KG84C]

What are the small roundish antenna looking things on outside top of body, some radio based control for all the locos? If those crazy Greens get their way these would be on the scrap heap.

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

Yes communication aerials. Not wrong! Haha

[@the369truth]

Great stuff diesel power!!

[@thegeforce6625]

Fantastic vid as always, awesome audio! One thing I love about the EMD 567-645-710 series of engines is you can always tell what throttle notch its running at solely based on the engines exhaust notes. Can’t do that accurately with a GE powered loco (afaik)

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

Cheers, I did spend some time on the audio, that's not straight from camera.

[@thegeforce6625]

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER you did a great job on capturing the nuances of the sounds these (essentially) scaled-up 2 stroke Detroits make :D, what mic did you use?

Great fottage mate the engine room looks pretty cool! Prehaps a tour of what is inside the engine room some day?

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

I have a video of the CL engine room. Have a suss.

[@impulserail4910]

Love it as always Adam, 👍 0:10 Buzzinga 0:34 There must be some boring times while waiting?

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

It has a silenced exhaust but still sounds amazing. Sounds pretty similar to the CSX SD40-3 and F40PHR here in the States for example which has a comparable exhaust note (See ESU file S0765 EMD 16-645E3B LATE EXH T)

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

No mufflers on these, straight out of the turbo.

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER ah neat. the different sound might be because of the E3C design, which the SD40Es also have where I live

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

@@CentralJerseyRailfan it's possible yeah.

[@MrValhem265]

classic EMD sound

[@harves82]

Another quality clip Adam. What's the oil change interval on these old bangers? Guessing it would be several hundred litres worth! Looks like you've got nice fresh pink coolant keeping things under control!

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

It depends on oil samples usually, if the oil needs to be changed, it is if not its left in.

[@leokimvideo]

More coupling cam

[@arynschroeder4756]

When the video mentioned that that v-16 was driving a alternator that produced 400 volts @9000 amps, it made ask, is it a AC or a DC system for the traction motors? Just curious.

[@arynschroeder4756]

@@peterenglish2573 Thanks for the information.

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

It's around 600v-750v - DC, to AC, back to DC for traction power.
