Awesome NS SD70Ace 1222 Air start up engineer Clifford

[@BKMAN89]

I will always love the deep rumble sounds of the 710 and 645 prime movers

[@Bobs2cents]

👍🙌

[@the_mcmartin]

Lovely! I get goosebumps everytime they start.

[@razvandobos9759]

I don't if that's really a locomotive or an aircraft or a spaceship, but my god, that prime mover is music to my ears. The SD70ACE is the best sounding diesel locomotive ever. Starts off with the beeps, then roars to life like a dragon, then goes jet-turbine idle mode, and then here it goes nuts with the high idling.

[@foamer443]

You clearly haven't spent much time around MLW/Alcos or Baldwins.

[@thebops4180]

The loco's in Australia are much louder!

[@em2attic]

Ahh yes the great sound of the EMD 710, one of the many prime movers that will have your spine rearranged after 12 hours 🤣

[@mikedorosz9574]

Never heard of any deaths from 710 prime movers.

[@em2attic]

@mikedorosz9574 i was referring to the fact that they vibrate the cab an ungodly amount when under load. Idk wtf youre talking about though smh

[@mikedorosz9574]

@@em2attic because not all 710's will shake the fillings out of your teeth.....a 645F will turn your body to mush...

[@em2attic]

@mikedorosz9574 645F are absolutely dreadful, but 710's are getting there the older they get. I can count on my hand the number of times where a 710 actually didnt rattle my brain out.

They sound the best.

A glorious sound!!

Love the end sound😊.

[@mgr_video_productions]

Great catch and video. Always love seeing locomotive start-up videos.

[@infinity3jif]

that sounds so freaking awesome.

[@isaiahshultz4296]

This is one of my favorite locomotives

[@genesisrailfan1507]

Gotta love the jet-esque 710 sounds

[@easternsasquatch]

The train idle sounds can lull me to sleep.

Nice startup of the SD70ACe!

[@RailfanCollin]

YOOOOOOO, i found your yt Jackson! also that SD70ACC startup that we saw downtown was awsome! glad we caught it.

[@SamsUtahRailfanAdventures]

Yup, you definitely love SD70ACes especially with SUPER LOUD K5LLAs

Great video bud, keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@chrisoconnell5143]

Don't you wish your car had air starter

[@bcferriesman1438]

A lot of trucks do. Usually older trucks, but they do have them.

[@bluegrassman3040]

@@bcferriesman1438those would scare you if you weren’t expecting the sudden high pitch noise.

[@bcferriesman1438]

@@bluegrassman3040I know. Most large boats use air starters. I have stood next to one of them when they have started.

[@jacksoncurtisgaming]

It's louder. So no.

[@bcferriesman1438]

@@jacksoncurtisgamingnot really the one I heard was on a hybrid electric ferry so the engines aren’t on and it’s very quiet. And the only thing to warn you the engine is starting is the tiny light that tells you the oil pump is on.

[@nickrehmani]

One badass diesel engine, American Glory!!

[@ninjarider2032]

The best sounding locomotive on the planet

[@railaddict7605]

Lovely always a joy to see an emd start !! Nice video

[@nickrehmani]

Absolutely love it!! Rumbles with authority

[@davestrains6816]

Great video and thanks for sharing. Dave

[@wdntulktoknw10]

Love that sound 🎉

[@SOU6900]

That engine is actually here in NC on what was the ECBU district right now.

[@ChrisZettel]

Awesome.

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

superb video Bro ❤😍😍

[@PhilFeedback]

Great video footage!

[@libmananchannel]

Hello "Jackson Slater ElevatorRailAlarmFan"! it's amazing! Thanks for the very nice video! I saw it with great interest! Great! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a nice day!

[@RadioEquippted]

Jesus the amount of power is to much to comprehend in these engines.

[@AshWild420]

Great filming!

[@kennyt1674]

1:08 it sounds like a jet engine starting up as its getting pushed back (Also i recommend listening to it with headphones!)

[@Retired88M]

I drove a 75 Mack Western RL-700 with an air starter and I got everyone’s attention when I fired it up

[@ChristopherDalton-r7k]

I'm an EMD Prime mover for life ❤. The 645, 710 n the now SD 70ace are sweetness to the ear 👂. The SD 70 starting up is as smooth as a double whipped jar 🫙 of Peter Pan pb, unlike the GE clucking/knocking b'fore starting..GE does have a nice Loco though

[@adonisjunior85]

Um espetáculo!!!!

[@williamk3408]

This is the #1 sound that you can listen too. Second is a river.

[@mulatnochannel]

Nice video 👍♥️

[@RFD7BL]

The engine niose sounds exactly like the cc205 in indonesia (they are referred by emd as GT38ACe)

[@SamuelMcCurry-s6t]

How are trains washed?.

[@Sprinter_productions]

Honestly sounds better than a class 66 (uses an EMD 710 V12) especially when the engine speeds up to build the air, nice bass rumble

[@s1914]

Wow that is awesome 💪

[@Traincraft101]

Spartanburg?

[@TheMetGuy]

It is Spartanburg indeed!

[@vernacular1483]

The startup scared that kid pretty good haha 😅

[@shadowofbrazil]

Spartanburg, SC. Its not piedmont anymore either

[@WeeeJustin]

Nice 😎

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

Since when diesel locomotive engines are started with a pneumatic system?

[@TheMetGuy]

This was NS 18D

[@Alix-777f]

that’s cool.

[@edsel6818]

Why didn't they show starting the second loco.??????

[@rack_9]

The second unit comes online when the Engineer presses a button or puts the reverser in forward.

[@Isaac_Railfans]

want to meet up there at hub city sometime soon?

[@csxriverlinecatches4736]

It's a sound where it tells you it's coming for you so you better run.. Jk, thing sounds mean as hell..

[@sodalitetrain771]

What microphone did you use for this?

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

Symphonic

[@SalvoZ06]

Why air starter?

[@jaysmith1408]

Tremendous power theoretically independent of conditions. As long as there’s air in the tanks, it’ll fire. Could have been there an hour or a month. The power draw on an electric motor could be considerable, especially if the batteries have been sitting a while, just above freezing (would be worse below freezing, but with water cooling, they auto start to keep water temp up (if equipped) or just idle.

[@SalvoZ06]
