EMD Wind-Up! BNSF SD70ACe and SD70MAC Coal Drag after getting a Green Light. High Ball!!!

Turn up the volume and listen to these SD70's wine-up from a stop to main-line speeds. Nice warning signal by a Nathan Airchime K5LLA. Two Gevo DPU's on the rear. High Ball!!!!

When the hi-rail goes by at 1:16 it is a real testament to the scale of that machine. It just dwarfs that truck. Great video.

You can see how massive those SDs are when the hi-railer passes by! Yup, it's horns, lights and the spin up of tremendous horsepower-- IT'S SHOWTIME!!!

EMD locomotives the best locomotives ever built!

[@gordonvincent731]

Thank you, thank you. I'm a retired engineer of 36 years, 1974-2011. Give me an EMD, any age on any train anywhere. GP9 to SD70. EMD sold locomotives because they are good. GE sold locomotives because the cried foul, big bad EMD will have a monopoly, make them buy our engines. I talked to EMD people about that and brother they would turn red in the face. They lost sales because of that. GE doesn't complain anymore about monopolies, do they?

It seems that the EMD's at speeds under 26-27 are sweet, the transition always makes me cringe a little! Pulling and then BLAM! You sure hope the hogger doesn't say, "we just fucking lost our air!" I prefer the EMD's from the other side of the cab, but I can't hate on a GE. They rumble-rumble-rumble-in 3/4 time!
