[GL][T-247] The INCREDIBLE Sounds of EMD Locomotives in Action | Trains 21

[@codyking4848]

Sound of my childhood. Many, many nights I laid in bed in our house in Wickett, TX as a kid, listening to the EMD's hammering down the main line at 50-60mph. You'd hear/feel the engine long before the horn sounded, and long after.

[@b2thez305]

2:02 when it shifts to low idle, sweet melodies

[@iusetano]

I've never been tired of the EMD sound. Excellent video AC.

[@Trains21]

Many thanks!

[@andyharman3022]

EMD's make railroading worth listening to.

[@ed777tx-edward8]

Hey AC nice video. The Hertzog unit train going to need all the EMD power available to climb that hill out of Scranton. Thank you for sharing.

[@Trains21]

Thanks for watching!

[@SOU6900]

I had to go back and watch this one over.... I got distracted by the old Consolidated Freightways trailer around 6:48😅 Also... HIGHHOOD!

[@ronbrennan4632]

I used to see a lot of cfftrks on the road when I drove trk on east coast lot of em are gone now it was in the sixties @ seventies there was a Lotta black smoke pulling the hills of penn. Ron rdzl om616

[@kennyspry5189]

Love it when You do Anything that is about EMD ENGINE'S They are Thee Best Engine's ever Thank You AC Awesome Video as always

[@Trains21]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jlo13800]

How about a mini emd v-16 2 stroke turbo in a 2022 Polaris khaos snowmobile! I thought about an opposed piston Polaris 1700 made from 2 850 patriot turbo like Fairbanks Morse 2 stroke and lay it down in the sled with silber turbo. Luke a mine Fairbanks Morse powered Polaris. It’s like this new oil injected Cummins 2 stroke mart.cummins.com/imagelibrary/data/assetfiles/0058689.pdf

[@IronhorseRailProductions]

Emd sounds are really nice. But the chugging sounds of GE's are my favorite

[@ronbrennan4632]

You mean alcos

[@IronhorseRailProductions]

@@ronbrennan4632 well GEs have a little chug sound when they idle and start to roll.

[@RailsOfTheMidwest]

Then you have no taste

[@jlo13800]

Darn the pull starter broke on the alco v-16 on tge boat I worked on

[@proudfoamer2]

This is your best video yet. Just let those beautiful sounding EMD'S do the narration.

[@Trains21]

Thanks John!

[@kens.3729]

Hello AC. You’re Hitting the Rails Hard with your latest onslaught of videos. WOW, keep it up. 👍

[@Trains21]

Thanks Ken, I'll certainly do my best!

[@yerrymartinez]

8:54 only time I saw an sd40 as a dpu along with the dash-8

[@Trains21]

Not a DPU, a helper set.

[@michaelnotigan7796]

Nothing to my ears beats the two cycle, turbocharged EMD engine, with the non-turbo 567's or the later non-turbo 645's found on the Conrail GP=15-1's. From the GP30's to the SD-80's, they all feature that distinctive turbo whine and cool sounds spooling up and down from idle. The unicorn to catch would have been the H-engine found on the SD90's owned by UP and CP, but it's very likely these engines never strayed far from the far west homes before they were sent to the dead lines. Those newer Progress Rail/EMD Tier 4 1010 engines that took the place of that H-engine have to be the quietest 4 stroke engine on the market today. But as imposing as they are, they don't have the aural "soul" of the two stroke supercharged/turbocharged EMD's of old. Great job, as usual, AC!!

[@Trains21]

Thanks Michael.

[@jlo13800]

I think rotax should come out with an etec 2 stroke with ranging from 690 CID to 800 CID per cylinder running ethanol. Polaris should do the same. Both have sicy turbo 2 stroke 850’s. Tge tugboat I’m on has 8-645 and 6-71. The 8-645 are all needle roller bearing motors. One tge other boat I worked on the pull starter broke on the alco v-16s

[@bcampbell1982]

Easily the best and most unique sounding units on the rails. Great video!

[@Trains21]

Couldn't agree more!

[@gordtvradio3465]

Man, you really know what your subs want to see. Great video

[@DiamondMaster20]

Love the sounds of the EMD engines! Great video!

[@Trains21]

Thanks Diamond Master!

[@jlo13800]

Damn the pullstart broke on the alco v-16.

[@matthewdempsey6583]

In Australia we some very nice sounding emds alcos

[@calvingrondahl1011]

I like the sound when they are still and purring away in the early light.

[@Trains21]

That is soothing to the soul.

[@DJinNJ08830]

👍 another great one AC. Like thos backdrops fav. The bride and small water fall

[@Trains21]

Thanks 👍

[@ernestpassaro9663]

News flash to you railfans and foamers the railroad is actually a business they don't run trains just to please you !

[@miltonbos3374]

If the title of the video is "Sounds of EMD Locomotives" I wouldn't expect to hear so many GE locomotives. I hope the videographer realizes just how many of these locos were not EMD.

[@feds3845]

Love those g.e.s

[@DoryRail]

Outstanding filming.

[@Trains21]

Thanks

[@muhammadchalidafin5644]

And at 8:56 The sound like Airbus A830! Very cool

[@RailfanNetwork]

Hope you have a great weekend AC!

[@Trains21]

Thank Tony.. You too!

[@ericsundell9978]

Nothing beats the sound.

[@skillium-inc]

That emd squeak is little rally my favorite sound. Sd50-60- and early 70s all have that glorious sound.

[@slowb4lls1]

Gawd I know it’s prolly kinda corny but these screamer vids are sick AC grab Job keep these coming, we should have people all send in there clips to keep having new materil

[@AndreiTupolev]

I particularly like 4:20. You're on tenterhooks wondering where the train's going to appear from. And when it does it's the track inspection special. Interesting old bracket signal among the undergrowth there.

[@Waltervazquez599]

Brilliant video my friend !!!

[@Trains21]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@godoftheinterwebz]

back when freight trains and tornadoes *did* sound alike

[@bsg549]

A common sound over on the Susquehanna Division ever since the invasion of the SD60Es!

[@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907]

"EMD" First vid: GE C44-9W Me: *H e h*

[@sushantrane12001]

Nothing can beat the sounds of emd

[@ianjarrett2724]

You would like a Pullman diesel hauling a scrap metal train in Canley, Coventry, UK 🇬🇧, too.

[@slowb4lls1]

Haha the one dislike on this video is gotta be a GE only chugging fan lol, where’s the chug?!?

[@Rob-tr1st]

Dude thats exactly what I said, who hates on EMDs

[@supercuda1950]

Thanks for those beautiful sounds, but most of all those HERZOG ballast cars. I see someone tagged one so I will have to bring it back to the shop behind the house (lol) and clean it off. No relation, but a great company that does track work for the railroads.

[@paulwarner5395]

I love the whine of the old EMD 2 stroke diesels. Don't hear much of the likes of the SD70.

[@Trains21]

I like those 2-strokes too!

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Great video 🚄🚄👍

[@Trains21]

Thanks Brian.

[@darrelgibbs4898]

Awesome train Nothing Can Beat NS

[@tysonbsbl]

Extremely nice sounding

[@TheOneWhoPats]

9:11 uuuugh take me home 😭😭😩

[@iBackshift]

zing zing zing goes the turbo0o0o0o...... Ahh EMD, the way it should be.

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

nice video bro

[@lackawannavalleyrailfan]

For GP20's to SD70ACC's EMD's take control!!!

[@Trains21]

Indeed!

[@sumantpandhari7118]

9.09 Jesus Christ I was watching this wearing headphones and that honk blowed my mind🎻🎻🎶🎶💥

[@jlo13800]

Jesus Christ got his 4 rotor wankle charge cooled outboard engine running. It’s a 4 rotor moller international Rotapower 2120cc oil injected with silkolene pro 2 SX 2 stroke oil. He got tired of the 700cc 200 hp 2 rotor rotor on engine.

[@AlanWolf-d7l]

Saying y prayers or what ?

[@swarfmaster]

Simply a great videp

[@Trains21]

Thank you.

[@lynnmcculloch-m4h]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@diesel10rules23]

You know I found this video the same way I found your channel I accidentally clicked on it I have now had a good accident

[@Trains21]

Haha.. Thanks for subbing and watching!

[@bhproductions1061]

Amazing I catch the BLE and B&P which is all EDM power

[@Trains21]

Nice.

[@jerrypfaff7003]

😎😎😎💪💪💪 love the power these things have

[@herrypurnomo8010]

Indonesia have EMD Loco with code name CC 202 & CC 205 kereta babaranjang (coal)

[@muhammadchalidafin5644]

At 8:02 in this video Is great The sound Like Boeing 737 hahahaha wow,What about you guys?

[@edwardpate6128]

Nothing like the sound of the old Detroit Diesel 2 strokes!

[@pootispiker2866]

Detroit and EMD have always been separate parts of GM

[@Rob-tr1st]

I wanna know the 2 sorry ass haters that gave EMD sounds a thumbs down??

[@johnblair8146]

Alco foamers.

[@jlo13800]

The same fuctards that go out and buy ugly boring high strung stupid 4 joke stroke outboards. I hate 4 strokes in cars: trucks too. Polaris and rotax are on tge right tracks with their newer 2 stroke turbo sleds. It’ would be nice to see a giant scaled up version of skidoo rotax 850 etec turbo that goes up to 750 cubic inches per cyl, dry sump oil injected, ethanol with dual big magnetos and drop it into a tugboat or train!

[@SantaFe19484]

Who was 7333 bought from?

[@calvincorrigan9925]

CEFX

[@7171-Ws6]

Sounds good but the late models were junk

[@muhammadchalidafin5644]

☺😊😊😊😊

[@wrenchofpower]

❤ baja 1000

[@rickrogers2649]

Sweet music but if you like golden oldies Alco tunes are hard to beat. : )

[@JishyFishy4106]

SD70ACu..

[@robtaylor6806]

Made by EMD..

[@gmac8852]

Alco locomotives were dirty oil and smoke spewing junk plus they always sounded raggedy.

[@richharris9489]

Funny you say that a lot of people love alco.

[@jlo13800]

I worked on a boat with v-16 alco 2 strokes. The ports needed cleaning and are a royal pain to get to at BDC. Tge inlet ports are similar to EMD 2 strokes
