TTI 260 (GE U28B) being load tested at the Illinois Railway Museum

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

FIRE BREATHERS , Always loved the GE U-Boats !

[@ut000bs]

I call it a 12-cylinder symphony orchestra with fireworks. You _gotta_ love it.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

The mighty U-Boat, flame at the stack.

[@octopus680]

I loved every minute of that!!

[@edmaphet6]

TTI got B36-7 and all of the old U25 and 28B's were cut up so rebuilding 260 was out of the question. At the end 260 was shoving a lot of heavy loads of coal in Maysville Ky power plant and this can be seen on DVD called GE Shortlines in the Southeast from Plets Express.

Thank you for the beautiful journey

[@ut000bs]

That is a 12-cylinder symphony orchestra with fireworks. You gotta love it. That is music.

[@brice3011]

Watch 3:50, backfire flames coming out of the chimney, what a great sight!!

[@RobertValinsky]

Like that sound!! Years ago the NYNH&H RR had U25B diesels. It was a pleasure to hear them working a grade with the throttles wide open. Sometimes the exhaust would make a snarling noise when the U25Bs were really working hard.

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

They have that CHOK A BLOCK sound to them . The PITTSBURGH & LAKE ERIE railroad ran the U-25B's also . They would have fire coming out of the stacks !

[@ColAngus]

Pleasure to my ears...mmm that chug!

[@TonyFleetwood]

please, i need more! what a great angle!

[@Railfan225]

3:54 omg

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

Thats what they are known for . Gotta Love It !

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Unlikely this is the first time these two units ran together...the U28B was originally CBQ 114.

[@stevenkakoczki8988]

Great sound for a GE FDL-16.....

[@terrywallace8922]

You can give me these ge locomotives any day!I like them.

1:16 The Trolley Department Disliked This Video

[@ajs_productions]

@jamesk97 I was wondering if I could use some audio from your video for a project of mine. The project would be posted to the public, and you would receive credit for the audio.

What A Raucous !

[@dennisyoung4631]

Load-test? As in testing for a full load of soot in the engine?

[@rearspeaker6364]

surprised parts were missing-the IRM can't find someone to give them gome 'grids for the u28.

[@NS6677]

note this was about 2 months after they got the unit.

[@rearspeaker6364]

@@NS6677 thank you for the info.

[@trainzguy2472]

Oh good thing! I thought there were none left except for the questionable whereabouts of VLIX 1616.

[@josephjoestar3275]

1616 is at SARM. That's a U25B, this is a U28B.

[@tomjordan688]

It's with the W65BJAG.

[@seaboardspastic]

Don't they only have B36-7s now?

[@acdii]

Were those flames towards the end? Wonder what that tapping noise was.

[@UnionThugg]

They'll shoot a little fire out the stack sometimes. Even the AC44's did that. The noise is simply 4-cycle raw power.

[@ellisjackson3355]

@@UnionThugg I think that every "tap tap tap" that we hear is all of the cylinders restarting the 4 stroke cycle over and over again

[@UnionThugg]

@@ellisjackson3355 which is exactly what I said.
