Trains in Notch 8

[@PaulsDMVRailroadsandAviation]

The sound of EMD prime movers at full throttle will never get old

[@djtrainman2]

I agree

[@davinhuffaker4670]

Gotta love EMD locomotives. They have different appearance which I love because I love variety

[@Inferno-hn3zx]

Chugging of GE prime movers will never change. EMD is history, uses 4 stroke engine now and nobody wants it 😅

[@davinhuffaker4670]

@@Inferno-hn3zx can you tell me the difference between 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines?

I love hearing these 2 stroke EMDs singing in notch 8!!!

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video of all these trains running NOTCH 8. Awesome to see the smoke billowing out pulling a HEFTY consist of cars! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware and I'm a new subscriber of your channel.

[@joelinpa185]

Great video! I don't like the concept of quiet zones, but I really like how the prime mover sounds of the Pan Am train at 7:19 aren't obscured by the horn. I will be so sad when the day comes I can't hear EMD 2-stroke power in person anymore. I've known and loved it all of my 60-plus years.

[@TheConductor_1]

Yep. Nothing is cool anymore. All these new locomotives are quiet and “efficient.” I hate it too.

[@aaronharvey7523]

Oh man, that's so sweet... Diesel electric power... I live in the South Island of New Zealand (next stop Antarctica) our trains are nowhere as heavy as yours... They are all old now, built in Canada 50 odd years ago.... DX class... We got some new ones from China not long ago, but there was issues with asbestos... We used to make our own locomotives here, mainly steam... I do love to watch Big Boy clips, man they are beasts...!! Can't beat Diesel Power tho a ... ??!!! ❤

[@dah72007]

Awesome, I love how the EMDs in Australia sound the same as their North American cousins , I guess a 567, 645 and a 710 is the same no matter where you are !, excellent footage by the way, thanks for sharing man

[@ployshihashick8240]

Love the four axle power!

[@jaclm]

Holy shit - I was there for that PORU video in Portland... except I ran off to get a few photos of PO-4 working nearby, thinking I had some time before PORU's departure, and ended up missing it. One of my bigger railfan fuckups of the past few years.

[@jimikrentkowski4073]

Cool PennCentral hopper!!

[@randycampbell8961]

Boy, wouldn't the tree huggers love these smoke belching beasties....

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

great video ❤❤❤❤

[@NS_5350]

8:25 that's awesome having a different nose on each GP40

[@p71collector]

:50 Looks likes a safe place to sit and watch a potential train de-rail!

[@gregginter5867]

Susquehanna bumble bees! 🎉

[@TheChachLINY]

6:58 yalready know that smelled mad good

[@dcarpine28]

The city smelt like it for 1/2 hour after they went through

[@dkillalegend]

If you want to see true Notch 8 action, play this video in double-speed!

[@141runn]

didnt know they still used 4 axle GP's on the main lines

[@FrankHeuvelman]

What does notch 8 means?

[@voidjavelin23]

Notch 8 is the highest notch throttle you can do on trains

[@joshjones3408]

Push it in the seed....take the go handle an put it all the way forward..👍👍👍

[@gregginter5867]

Fast power!

[@FrankHeuvelman]

@@gregginter5867 So what is slow power?

[@tallmike6598]

1:44 yellow jackets !

[@blueticecho5690]

The new power today is a toggle switch with a turtle and a rabbit.

[@karlsson7300]

Which horn is this at 6:00? For me one of the best sounding ones!😍

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

Most of these are NOT Notch 8 !!!! I Live in Exeter, NH 70 ft from the rails right off my porch !!

[@dcarpine28]

Okay

Sweet video!

[@Slide164]

Sanding like hell at 9:20!

[@fiatman71]

radiator fans on that 3rd unit singing to the angels too!

[@billgroder9184]

Well Done!

[@StrangeScaryNewEngland]

In that first one from Exeter, did the engineer give you two short hello honks as he passed you? Or was that for another crossing ahead? Also, grew up in NH. Great catches, great video.

[@dcarpine28]

Thanks! It sounded like a little horn for us, then they started blowing for Front Street.

[@StrangeScaryNewEngland]

@@dcarpine28 Well that's cool! I've only ever had a couple honk for me. The rest were probably having a bad day. Lol.

[@tehswordninja]

Good old Saint Lawrence

[@visionist7]

Hold up, is this where the term "top notch" comes from

[@dcarpine28]

I don’t think so, but it works so let’s just say it did haha

[@JohnnyCarroll-wi6tx]

those smoke bomb locomotives.git r done.

[@erichalgren8377]

Pan am sure had some junk locomotives!

[@141runn]

worn out 4 axle GP's

[@a_quentinmoussoyi7697]

c'est dans quel pays?

[@johncrawford6571]

Northeast US

[@demil3618]

Why notch 8 not 10 or so?

[@voidjavelin23]

If you have that pea bran size naiveness, notch 8 is literlly the highest notch you can do on trains

[@demil3618]

Nothing about brain size here! There is no reason one would assume that notch 8 is the nighest. It could be 10 or 15 too. How would anyone who isn't in this field of work kniw that?? There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers! @@voidjavelin23

[@travisolson9190]

@@voidjavelin23he may be European where their locomotives sometimes have 18 or more notches

[@kennydings3879]

⁠@@voidjavelin23I bet people run to you when they have a legitimate question. Your boundless empathy must be a joy to all your family and friends. While you’re at it, maybe you can share the difference between an AC vs DC locomotive. It’s really quite simple unless you are another of life’s pea brains.

[@paganviodio]

Trains are cut, almost nothing full lenght = thumb down...

[@dcarpine28]

Oh well

[@Joe-d7m6k]

Guilford--- once, and always a joke. Thank God its gone now .

[@MujoNovak]

not even close to notch 8

[@dcarpine28]

Okay

[@railroadnut3815]

Would be nice to get clips of just the engines running and not the stupid shrill horn
