GE Made in America Locomotives

[@RHTeebs]

Honestly, I couldn't think of a better guy to host this show.

[@tropicalties3806]

For anyone wondering. The GE filming was in August 2004

[@gevowavemagnet]

Yea, they fled to Texas since then.

Man I hate TV. Watching this makes me remember why I canceled TV 15 years ago. There are so many good youtube videos that have more information and no "actor" jerking around instead of showing us how a thingis built, why they do it that way, etc.

[@RLKRAILTIES]

Well I can’t blame you because I was a TV addict when I was a kid but I realized watching television was pointless and so I switched to KZbin in 2013 and started watching documentaries. I continued watching documentaries such as “Extreme Engineering” or “Big Bigger Biggest Prison” they were fascinating when I was growing up in the 2010s. Now that I am 21, I am starting to realize how pointless these are. Their just an actor pretending to be a worker. I don’t like it all quite frankly. Being in education system from Kindergarten to 12th grade despite learning getting an A in high school level calculus and graduating with a 3.518 GPA it still doesn’t teach me real world problems and very rarely they do. Programming wasn’t even required at our school but you had to take English to learn how to do an argumentative essay 3 to 5 paragraphs long only to be pointless work to satisfy the education system it’s so pointless. The K-12 education loves having documentaries like this to give “Ooooh” and “Awwwe” to the audience. But they learned absolutely nothing about how it works. Again kids are young they don’t know schematics of a locomotive. Now our education system is using critical race theory and it’s really sad. I have been into trains since 2 years old. Honestly the only reason I would watch TV is sports and maybe a movie then and there but that’s it. I didn’t realize until how hard architecure school was that I realized documentaries are meant to give us fantasies. It’s so ridiculous. It takes away the real experience of life. Again the stuff I am saying the education system didn’t teach us we have to figure out ourselves. Life is our teacher.

@@RLKRAILTIES Thank God I didn't grow up in your generation! I'm 61 and learn alot from the education world I grew up in.

[@DJP-ph7yj]

Yeah well, the only reason you have all 3 axles powering each bogie, is because an Australian demanded this of EMD back in 1950/1 when tendering for the Victorian B class loco. Before that, it was A-1-A non powered middle axle. This set the standard

[@JordysRailVideos]

Thank Frank Shea of Clyde Engineering (now part of Downer Rail) for the B's

[@RailsOfTheMidwest]

All that just for the turbo charger to blow and send a piston to space

[@johnd4101]

Erie is Pennsylvania's sole port on Lake Erie. Pennsylvania's other port is Philadelphia on the Delaware River.

[@hypecat9138]

Thanks Cliff Clavin

[@TheTheratfarmer]

no mater what, i trust an EMD for power.

[@aerospot2]

What is their latest model?

[@stagergamer4172]

the EMD GT50AC, a quick google search proves, 2012-18

[@peterkneissl3358]

Actually one of the better videos

Yeah after they (GM)closed and sold to Caterpillar the record breaking plant in Canada that actually paid a living wage and had quality control that was second to none

[@yankeesforlife24]

Damn this must’ve been late 90s early 2000s that’s an old dash 9

[@stretchlimo7275]

I was thinking the same thing, GEVO’s must’ve still been in development

[@tropicalties3806]

August 2004

[@dianneklemmer9381]

Totally facinating 😮

[@drtalkboxsa9412]

I just hope the locomotives don’t end up being made in China

[@MokkaMatti]

"They need a lot of choo-choos..." 🤔🙄. Another programme for the L.C.D set.

[@dougackerman4182]

Neat video

[@aerospot2]

Thanks!

[@3RTracing]

yikes. I don't even want to watch this knowing that BNSF refers to their fleet of GE locomotives as expendable, cheap motive power. AKA Junkamotives.

[@TheTheratfarmer]

union, they said, if we ever have to go on strike you have to do so. i said yes, yes.

[@haroldbrown1998]

Best in the world.

[@zeke4910itp]

Been WABTEC since 2017, GE , Immelt turned the screws with accounting fraud.

[@MokkaMatti]

Giant Error. And EMD is long dead too. What the hell is Caterpillar doing with its corpse? Makes you wonder what China thinks they're going to get when they finally take us over completely, Lock Stock and Barrel.

[@zeke4910itp]

@@MokkaMatti Wanted just finished their first electric and also converting DC'S, but we all know who monopolizes rare earth materials.

[@formerparatrooper]

Tim Miller was the ENGINEER. STRUTH!

[@tomtom1484]

With billions of dollars of equipment setting there, they yell at the crane operator on where to set the loco 😕

[@jameskellinger8314]

That was the joke

[@TheTheratfarmer]

nuclear spec's. every little thing has to be documented and tested an EMD. a GE? i have no idea.

[@aerospot2]

They sold Transportation to WABTEC.

[@damonblankenship9450]

Sadly.....Texas took the Pride of GE away.

[@tomtom1484]

“Hauling freight to people all over the world”! Yeah, right! More like hauling freight from the rest of the world to personnel.

[@agnelodsa788]

Very expensive items made in America, labour cost is very high.

[@rob066101]

Wabco now not GE

[@aerospot2]

Not "Wabco". Wabtec. I know, i spent my last year there under Wabtec.

240 p resolution? No thanks.

Discovery Channel? History Channel? Screw that clumsily scripted, terribly acted noise.

[@larryheebowitz4140]

Made in America...by a guy NOT made in america. Nice

[@redrobbo1896]

Oh God do you boomers have to complain about literally everything under the sun? You inherited the greatest economy in history and the height of labors power in America when you graduated and all you've done since then has been to fuck over each successive generation after yours. And yet you STILL find things to complain about.
