What Your Favorite American Diesel Says You

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Hit the GP9 one right on the head. Nothing like the sound of a supercharged EMD 567

[@OldIronVideo]

Nothing like a gp9 going down your local shortline at 15mph almost derailing every minute!

[@steakthedoggaming5333]

Agreed, I fit both parts. Technically I prefer the GP7, but the GP9 is close enough. And I like classic rock. So a very correct choice.

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

0:56 Let's be real, it's the same thing with EVERY diesel that just had their phasing out being announced.

[@Trainlover4088]

(Request) can you do “what your favorite railroad says about you”

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

Norfolk Southern: You're either a Rails of Highland Valley fan or you hate CSX. Union Pacific: You're only there for the Steam program.

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

BNSF: *Haha Warbonnet go brrrrrrr*

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

CSX: You are basic.

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 I am very basic. NS is good because of the heritage units and special horns, but CSX has better power, so I like them better. Not to mention, they have units on par with NS now with Leslie's. So CSX is better. *FIGHT ME.*

[@betsymani2734]

Wisconsin & southern: you live in Wisconsin or northeastern Illinois and are just me. @Trainlover i saw you in one of SMT’s livestreams

[@victoriacyunczyk]

As an IRM volunteer, I can confirm that about the E5.

[@thewestvirginiarailfan]

bro is in uplt

[@FreihEitner]

Well, nice to know that my favorite F40PH is so commonly loved that it's joked about how much we love 'em. But yeah, I also loved the Dash-8-40s when they were new -- just something cool about the look of a narrow-nose Dash 8. And then, yeah, the SD-40 is the ultimate workhorse.

[@realcanadian67]

As an Alco fan, and particularly a big fan of the C-630m, the description was very true as I am a big diesel punk and love some good true thrash.

[@Dulaman107]

Love your profile pic

[@realcanadian67]

@@Dulaman107 thank you

[@SirLANsalot]

Alco in general has some of the most unique engine sounds, always sounding like they are a quart of oil low with that low growl lub lub idle sound. I have a C-636 I run on my clubs layout and its one of the coolest sounding things. Nice thing its a Bowser unit with a ESU loksound 5, so its got the best sound one can find, a very fun unit. Also fits the layouts modeled year perfectly (1970, BN merger year) as its an SP&S painted unit, with a BN patched number under the cab. Now to find that elusive C-415 for a Chehalis Western project......

[@schwunkie]

nice to see you here

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

My personal favorite diesels are ALCo rsd-1 (e-1645 version), and EMD gp9s. The RSD-1s are my number one favorite because of their unique design and versatility.

[@CrazyDash9]

As someone who loves the F59s, I as a matter of fact also love the Sounder and TRE versions. The AMT ones can be scrapped…

[@AtTheCrossingProductions]

Sounder is fantastic

[@FSTM4003]

Trinity Railway Express!

[@AMT1345]

I love the AMT/EXO ones The old paint was crap

[@JNRC62fan]

I like the og F59PH's with the triclops cab and i like both the Go and Metrolink units

[@GP30_Foamer]

2:12 My favorite is the GP30 and that description fits me perfectly

[@briggscarson]

I like the Southern Railway GP30s. (I'm even quirkier than the short hood GP30 fans)

[@elijahgreenberg2634]

Damn really nailed the GP-9 one holy crap

[@amtrakproductions-mx9ib]

Yeah but the last diesel in the video doesn't have windows, and i hate that locomotive and its the only diesel i hate

[@StocktonSubber]

My favorite’s the Genesis and I wasn’t disappointed by what it thought of me as.

[@CTravelsAviation]

At 1:01, I agree with you. I like the standard cabs more than the wide cabs.

[@christopherdeangelis6383]

God dammit I drive the 44 tonner at a museum. Spot on.

[@157RANDOM]

My enthusiast brain likes older units, but my railroader brain knows the GEVOs are the most comfortable to spend 12 hours in. Although my colleagues hate them since they are loud, the 8800 and 8900 series SD70M-2s I do have a soft spot for since the cabs feel very spacious. Although the seats could be more comfortable. Probably my favourite engines I have worked with but would never want to spend much time in are the Ontario Southland Railway's RS-18u's

[@wesleyeby7541]

my dad used to drive for UP and he always brought a little seat he got with him, he said it was the only thing keeping him sane lol

[@Blaze06]

I’m actually glad this video showed up in my feed a few minutes ago! It’s how I found this channel and subbed to it!

[@jojoreztorc0396]

My fav’s are the Geeps, F40PH (I know, sue me), P42DC, C40-9, and the Centennials.

[@JackCarsonsRailroadVideos]

1:43 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@asteroidrules]

3:06 is very accurate, I have a love for the Gensets and a constant urge to scream incoherently.

[@cinnamontoast9999]

You’re doing gods work out here soldier, keep it up

[@new_indoserica]

3:00 This just describes me in All ways

[@The_SEWI_Railfanner]

C40-8M, C40-8s and D9s are generally my favorite

[@Bush4Ever2004]

The most truthful words.

[@rossbryan6102]

THE AT&SF 1460, IN 1991 BECAME MY OLDEST GRANDDAUGHTERS FAVORITE LOCOMOTIVE, WITH HER BEING 5 YEAR OLD AT THE TIME!! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍

[@DaGamingIdiot]

The Baldwin centipede describes me perfectly 2:36 in which yes. I LIKE TRAIN TRUCKS

[@tsm_00]

Thanks for describing me in the SD45.

[@sword3349]

2:08 Love the "A" joke. It's subtle, but still funny.

[@xymaryai8283]

as an Australian, i 100% know the differences between these engines. however, i challenge you to do an Electric Multiple Unit video like this ^-^

[@JackCarsonsRailroadVideos]

Also mix of Modernist and OG

[@justarandomyoutubeperson]

Old Diesels, Small Diesels And Forgotten Diesels Gang 👇

[@thetreedemoknight4827]

i have multiple favorites and all of their descriptions fit me

[@JKanimations7718]

As a charger fan myself… guilty as charged

[@GreatNW]

You nailed me so perfectly with the alcos you could not have been more accurate.

[@AbelG8781]

Im all for an ACe, GEVO and P42

[@syrathdouglas1244]

My favorites are the Centennials because my great grandma has some toys of them I grew up playing with.

[@Wolfey1231]

My favorite is the F59PH and I would like to add the TRE paint scheme,But accurate. although I like almost every diesel from any era,with a few exceptions (that one CSX locomotive type from the 80s for example)

[@skipthefox4858]

Idk if me believing in cab unit supremacy is a compliment or and insult. Eh I’ll just take it as a compliment Also how about a part 2 where you would do steam trains or European trains?

[@Railman1225]

XD welp, kinda agree with most of these. i feel like steam locomotives should be next

[@jeri_v2578]

CNW/MKT rebuild Chads rise up 😎

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

Personally, I really like the SD90/43MACs and the C40-8Ms. They just look nice.

[@hjmiller2689]

No BL-2 locos??? I know they're unreliable, but at least they're part of most GP30s

[@Thelefevrefever]

Yo BL-2 fan Club!

[@Goofyboi2002]

1:59 *I do need help* BUT THEY LOOK SO GOOD!!

[@ReadingAreaRailfan]

We just randomly have center cabs in PA. Idk why or how they got here but alot of them are here. We used to have one where I volunteer sometimes but it was so small we couldn't really use it for much

[@KentuckyAk101guy]

For me the Sd70Ace just looks aggressive and Norfolk southern has a lot of them. I firmly an a Emd supremacist for the high hood Sd series.

[@railfanningCNrail]

GE evolution series And SD60s Are awesome

[@notch8c40]

Love the videos dude. Keep the content up!

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

The EMD SD9 have loved them since I was a young child in the early 70's

[@ApexierGS]

Yes love the SD40-2, GP-30, GP38, SD60M, 8-40CW, AC6000CW, the H-10-44, H-16-44, H-24-44 the RS-1, the GP15-1, the alco C420 ( gawd this is meme worthy in 2022) C424, C630, C636 and the GE44toners are practical and cute

[@wesmoore4365]

i like all of these, i am everything and nothing all at the same time

[@SynchroScore]

Why yes, I am okay. And I do spend a lot of time at IRM. Ticket agent/carman/machinist. Incidentally, we just got a CNW SD50 last November. And got it to run in January.

[@13thBear]

Ok, had to watch this 3 or 4 times before I got it, but, yeah, ya got me on my favs.

[@BNSF8500yt]

0:30 Way too accurate

[@fluxthelycanroc9603]

Sd60s are my fav because ive worked on quite a fww as a conductor and they are quite nice from a conductor perspective. Load fast for kicking cars with power to match. And most of the ones NS have some very mint k5las

[@jessdatheturdle6602]

2:25 dont forget the go transit f59phs from canada

[@pokechimp88]

those are the best f59phs

[@jetseekers]

Genset: I like making people's brains hurt (including my own)

[@TheConductdeer]

As an Sd70ace man, and a conductor, yes, as GE units SUCK for switching and ride like a Fordf150 with no shocks left

[@CasualSnake_D2]

It *would* be cool to see some of the styling from earlier diesels to come back, the sharknose is cool visually. That said, sad you didn't mention the MotivePower units used by GO Transit, those are cool (and american built)

[@mrvwbug4423]

They're definitely unique looking, even if quite underpowered compared to a Charger or F125. Not that anyone is actually trying to run diesels at 125mph in the US these days.

[@P42_foamer]

0:38 yes that's true My favorites are GE GENESIS,F7s,RS3, AC44, DDA40X, SDP40F, E5, Rebuilt Baldwin's,F59PHIs,GMD-1,EMD GP9s and finally the 44 tonners

[@Yellowstone216]

I like the U50, 25 Tonner, Trainmaster, DDA40X, the coal turbine, the GTEL, and the Sharknose

[@whatsername23]

the GP40 and F40PH one got me lol

[@TrajectoryT]

As an SD9 fan, i was listening to Kickstart my Heart before this, so its accurate

[@the_atsf_railfan2926]

You should do (what your favorite American steam locomotive says about you)

[@CurtisUsher128]

Gevo’s are my favorite locomotive

[@CurtisUsher128]

Exactly dda40x are my favorite classes locomotives

[@ICrailroadprod.2007]

SD-40-2 "you're an EMD supremacists" me: oh fuck how does he know.

[@amtrakproductions-mx9ib]

3:07 NO WINDOWS!?!??!?!?!

[@u686st7]

SD40-2, Yep, I'm definitely an EMD supremicist.

[@bookianaunroblox661]

Is that diesel smoke sound, but I would never want to say a word!

[@6Six6Six6Bruh]

DO I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TRAINS? NOPE IS THIS AMAZING? YES

[@realcanadian67]

Welcome.

[@nickdrake527]

The FM Trainmaster is 100% accurate. (Long live the Trainmaster)

[@AMTK2001]

I genuinely like the look of the SD70s. I think they look nice.

[@stagergamer4172]

I love the early E and F units, however I do go crazy for an old high hood gp or sd unit, but hoo boy i go insane for the freak experimental trains

[@keystonedriving8180]

As a BP20 fan I didn't even make it on to your Radar, not that it comes as a surprise. It's probably just as well.

[@FSTM4003]

genset locomotives be like: "I don't want a hat but I want a hat"

[@joshuafajardo5697]

“You likely have bowel problems” 😂

[@fyrelite07]

I was waiting for an ALCO PA 😔

[@hozkahilgarri3936]

There are several that I love, but above all diesels the Alco S6 and the whole SW series is my favorite. I just love their design. YEAH, I would rather work from home! The Plymouths are my second favorite. I actually do believe in tiny switcher diesel supremacy lol. GP9 hood units are my close 3rd... and yup, you can't go wrong with classic rock! Dash-9s are my fourth favorite, and YES THE OG IS ALWAYS BETTER. Gas Turbos are my 5th favorite... that one you got wrong, my bowels work superbly, thank you very much! Four out of five, not bad!

[@MrAwesomedude808]

So I like the EMD f-series, f40(ph and c), and e-series. F40s because I grew up watching them pass by DAILY just steps from my original home when I moved to IL. then the mp36s came and the F40Cs were no more, but the f40PH is for better or worse permanently embedded in my early memories

[@Someyungrebel]

The gp9 thing is true asf

[@TinShackVideos]

Black and orange striped Southern Pacific Alco S-2 fan here.

[@yazan727]

my favorites are the alcos emd-f7 and gp-9 and the sharknose

[@emanresuaton]

Specifically, I like the SD70ACE Tier 4, but all are nice.

[@gilanggilang4931]

1, dda40x 2, c40-8 3,fm trainmaster 4, rebuilt Baldwin 5, centipede

[@cameronjenkins6748]

GP38-2: you played far too much Microsoft Train Simulator as a kid. I've switched to Alcos since then.

[@LocallyUnsmart]

what about a normal SD40, not a -2 but just the original build of one not those fuckin party decks on the sd40-2

[@the_mississippian_railfan]

Rebuilt Baldwin swag

[@enaqleelectric]

I think the rebuilt Baldwins are the only good looking ones xD

[@Solithium8218]

EMDs and GEs are so good bro

[@DarkTerritory71]

I like the sd90/43 "I'm a part time worker"!

[@tylerbrobston4265]

GMD 1, Alco's, Switchers, And C40-8's

[@WindCityRailfan]

I could go for a NS C40-9 right now. Oh wait there all rebuilt and not a single one left thanks NS for making some C6M’s

[@nationeer]

We need more industrial vehicles and equipment based BuzzFeed posts

[@vuurvrproductions4656]

3:00 cool its the Southeastern railway museum in duluth i think.

[@IGuessIDoThings]

The SD70Ace was completely true

[@spockbetter]

as a european, safe to say i'm confused, another cowl unit productions banger

[@TrinityShoji]

Hol up: I'm not represented. Alco FA/PA and EMC FT are my personal favorites...

[@realcanadian67]

Holy shit railfan femboy..?

[@zmkferreofan]

I mean, for the sd40t-2 either you are a rio grande/southern pacific fan, or you’re a Brazilian railfan

[@KJW-Transit]

I only like the F59PHI, and yeah it's the NorCal one. Also SC-44 by far my fave loco

[@randydaconraildash91985]

As a big sd70ace fan i love the sound of them when they got them pulling a big train i already got 5 sd70ace on a train

[@mrvwbug4423]

I lived in Cheyenne for 30+ years, the sound of the SD70s is literally permanently burned into my brain haha. And all the fire and smoke shows on West Lincolnway

[@Track_Tranzit]

Me personally I'm an AC44 guy, rebuilt or not they are cool

[@loganflores486]

That Utah railway picture at 1:15 was taken right outside my house lol

[@HangEagle]

NS AC44C6M: Your probably a Norfolk Southern foamer in Georgia
