The unique and unmistakable sound of roaring SD's is a noise I never tire of.

[@GioSinatraFan]

My father worked at EMD during the 70s and early 80s. He used to take me to the LaGrange EMD family day open house. I immediately fell in love with trains at that point forward. The sound of these EMD motors resonate with me and always bring a smile to my face. Great video.

Miss having EMD in La Grange.

[@bobbycaston5738]

I don't know what it is but I love the whistling sound that these behemoths make. The ground shaking and deep humming of EMD'S and the riotous wide filtrate AC diesels.

[@DrMogilus]

I know what you mean Bobby. They are imposing and charming at the same time. I'm not from the United States, but I sincerely hope that someday I will be able to see the old workhorses with my own eyes before they retire. I love trains from all countries, and we do have some great locomotives here in Russia as well, but American locos have always been the subject of my utmost fascination, especially EMD's.

Awesome video! I love that raw EMD power, glad that area hasn't been taken over by GE's yet. New subscriber!

1:33 I heard that "wow" in there, lol. wow is right, the way that must have felt as it got close to you

[@pootispiker2866]

Who enjoys a notch 8 compilation that's mostly just horns? Honestly.

[@workinghardusa]

Great video, well done!

[@Go_Magpies]

EMD'S are the best in notch 8. Just love EMD'S locomotive power. No1.

[@kennyt1674]

Awsome job!

[@Goetterdaemmerung86]

It’s a shame that the EMD 710 got dethroned due to those damn T4 regulations, fortunately there are some loopholes it seems, and fortunately it’s still available in Canada. GE sounds alright, but my heart is lost to the EMD sound

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

They are still producing SD70ACes with the 710 stateside via T4 credit program. I think they have credits from T3 sales as well as from the number of units sold with the 1010J motor. Overall EMD hasn't been selling a whole lot of locomotives in North America over the past few years though. Just not a huge demand for them in general. Not even for GE. This is why GE Locomotives division is now owned by Wabtec and EMD by CAT. Neither of them had diverse enough portfolios to weather sales droughts or problems stemming from emissions regulations compliance (like EMD). Though EMD has for the vast majority of it's existence been a subsidiary anyway. It began as a division of GM, hence why it was called GMD for so long, and also why Detroit Diesel motors have identical design just shrank down to road vehicle size.

[@caseyvanboxtel2279]

I was lucky to live in Duluth and catch straight DMIR power before CN took over. Those SD38's and SD-M's were ear piercing being non turbocharged.

[@MailmanRailfan]

Good stuff!

[@marcmear8419]

Emd &Ge rule in my country before NZ bought chinese junk locomotives still going strong to this day

[@blackbird7575]

Yea the dcs sound awesome and the dfb is stupidly reliable

[@cpeast]

Beautiful sound!

[@railfanningwithmiles]

Nice sound, the leader and 3rd look like SD45T-2s, but I could be mistaken

[@AUDIABiQUATTRO]

EMD IS THE BEST love the SD40S GP38 SD38 and so on but my favorites are the SD70MAC and SD40S especially the EMD SD40 having such a legendary status and reputation and simply sounding awesome having amazing performance and having a fantastic look in my opinion simply a locomotive that MUST! be preserved and as many as possible also a locomotive that should be remembered as the very best diesel locomotive ever built

[@jerry91a]

Didn’t know CN had tunnel motors in their fleet at the time

Same had to pause the vid. Looks like it's a Bessemer & lake Erie respray.

[@AUDIABiQUATTRO]

How are locomotives capable of full power at max rpm for such a long time dont they back off after a period of time? if yuo do that with a car yuo Will blow it up eventually

[@StaceyV51]

At full throttle they only turn about 900 to 1100 rpm are designed to hum along at full throttle all day. They are basically bulletproof esp if well mainained.
