VOLUME UP! Notch 8 In A SD70MAC At Taft! 9/17/22

[@TheSilverShadow17]

Crazy epic to hear the engineer let it rip all the way to notch 8 like that. Them 710s can take the beating no doubt.

[@conductormike3step]

I’ve had to have an engineer do that a few times to help charge the air lines faster trying to diagnose an air leak.

[@stretchlimo7275]

They’re designed for that, watch some load test videos, locomotives get left in notch 8 for quite some time, when under load they can be left in notch 8 basically until they run out of fuel

[@TheSilverShadow17]

​@@stretchlimo7275 In hindsight you're saying that these things can be left in notch 8 nonstop until they completely empty the tank of diesel? Well I'll be damned lol

[@kennyt1674]

Its so satisfying hearing those EMD SD70MAC's throttling up

[@RavenWinterz]

Listening to this on my studio monitors, the deep rumble from the engine is amazing.

[@mustin07doesgaming]

The sound of the EMD 710 accelerating is probably one of my favorites

[@moneybaggken5645]

Same🔥

[@danielsebring6220]

If I ever wondered what a flux capacitor starting up sounded like, I would picture the sound of a 710 prime mover cranking it to the 8th.

electronic music ❌ electro motive music ✅

Engineer: "Hehe 710 go BRRRRRRRRR"

[@bluegrassman3040]

More like “Ying Ying ying…”

[@HOMeSKILiT24]

That idle is so nice n smooooooth

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

great video ❤❤❤❤

[@rh906]

Now if I can get a hour loop of that.

[@rearspeaker6364]

love the artwork at 4:38!!

[@geac9100]

That's a little more than charging up the train air! Great! Did you know the Engineer?

[@BoneValleyFilms]

We may have uh.... called in a little favor on that one. 😎

[@WH_Railfan84]

Like music to my ears! 👍🏾😎

[@j.m.youngquist419]

That was my job for years and years, making them engines purr.

[@multicolorfilms]

bro that’s crazy

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

You ain’t got the full experience until your under a overpass with a 70 series and the hogger is shoving a long string of cars into a yard with a AC4400CW and a ES40DC behind that 70 series. The 710 will drown out the GE’s.

[@Morgana123-n5q]

It is like wdp4d loco indian railways

[@thebops4180]

Why would he be notching up without moving?

[@BoneValleyFilms]

Because we asked him to. Lol

[@AbelG8781]

Notching up is part of the job....charging compressors, testing load output etc. Nothing unusual.

[@BoneValleyFilms]

We asked the engineer to put it through its paces for the camera. He had the time to spare so he gladly obliged.

[@dalton1583]

Just a quick load test.

[@gopalshekar986]

Ah, now i have the anwers ! Was wondering too, what the notch up and all that was, for just two locos! They can move on even while idling 😃

[@mikeseiler7822]

All he’s doing is revving up the engine , the brakes are applied and the locomotive isn’t loading

[@eddieg749]

EMD way better than any GE

[@voidjavelin23]

their both still bad in their own way anyway

[@bosbrns4]

Any day 😊

[@richardhunn4298]

Might drown out the rattles in the cab
