Y102 Moves For the First Time in 31 Years!

[@guy9732]

Looks menacing with that patina. It's like a railroad version of the truck used in the movie Dual.

The fact that it still even exists is amazing. The fact that it can still even run after all these years is sensational.

[@class77sncb]

Simple technology, no electronics, just reliable !

[@Bob-j5o3b]

'93's not that long ago. Seems like yesterday to me

[@paulstubbs7678]

Almost amazing it's wheels/bearing were not rusted in place, until I saw the various dates, it had been moved etc.

[@lestersabados1306]

My cousin on my mothers aunt side of the family was struck by a desil freight train and blew up like ziploc bag full of chicken guts. This was 44 years ago and still to this day skull fragments with chunks of hair turn up.🎉

[@desertbob6835]

Good heavens!

[@dmcry600]

Love the sound of those early EMD engines!!!! Thanks for the video!!!!

[@azrailfan2717]

The sounds of a 567 based prime mover is music to my ears

[@SeraVend]

It sounds like an old grain truck it's awesome.

[@BryanPhillips-tk1km]

Sounds like an old 251 Alco

[@BryanPhillips-tk1km]

Smokes like an Alco too

[@paulwarner5395]

@@BryanPhillips-tk1km That's what I was thinking. All the EMDs I've ever heard have a turbo whine. The horn needs a bit of work on it.

[@myke49]

G'day from NSW. It is great to see any retired loco come to life again. Well done those who gave the old girl some life again. Mike in Oz

😁

[@TOTALCAMARO]

What a beautiful sight to see and to hear. Thank god there are people out there who love and care enough to bring these pieces of history back working again and riding the rails again.

[@grantmarchesi4899]

Wow, 31 years. Amazing work to get it turning its own wheels again.

[@richardcline1337]

With so many locomotives and even full trains being found abandoned and forgotten it makes me feel great to see old iron like this preserved and restored rather than being abandoned or scrapped.

[@Micheal_stone]

I agree with you, when I first watched the old iron horse i was horrified because it makes me think that the things we have are taken for granted.

[@johnsmart964]

Such is the resilience of diesel locomotives. Thank you for bringing us this excellent video presentation which is very much appreciated.

Made my day...and I'm in the USA. Big smile.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Will be great to see it get some attention and a new coat of paint

[@joshskalicky779]

Painting that engine would be sinfull

[@avlisk]

I'm a V/Line orange and gray era fan, but there's no denying that T382 is a classic. (Ken in USA)

[@PharaohDeathMask]

Thank you for making this fabulous video. Congratulations to the mechanical staff who got this loco running.

[@lestabithasadventures]

EMDs never die! Wow

[@mebeasensei]

As a city boy, I remember these on country trips in the car, in the last days of Victorian Branch lines in the '70s. Looking across a paddock and seeing them towing a line of beaten up general purpose little wagons with fixed wheels and bouncing all over the place with a Guards van on the end with a little chimney. I imagined a guard in there, ciggie hanging from his mouth, boiling a pot of tea on a pot-belly stove and trying to prevent a disaster with the kettle sliding and rattling on the hot plate. I think it was about 1978, and it was almost all over. The branch lines closed one after the other.

[@nigelconnor6960]

OMG...just watching this video, I could literally smell the exhaust fumes!! Superb...now look after her!! ✌️👍👍👍👍.

[@Lakeside1943]

Great weathering job ! I can easily image the thrill when the wheels started turning !

[@TrainiacProductions]

This is absolutely wonderful. Beautiful video! Truly magnificent documentation of a momentous occasion. Thank you for sharing!

[@dierkschurack-ye9kr]

Ich liebe diesen Typ von Loks und ihr Geräusch traumhaft😆

[@BruceBoschek]

Nothing compares to an EMD 567. Two-stroke cycle, 45° V, Roots blown magnificence. Love those engines.

[@petermalanchuk8210]

Yes, very reliable simple engines. They are so reliable that the EMD 16V series 645 diesels are the choice for some large tugboats. I've seen KZbin videos of one or two of such tugboats, with multiple engines, very impressive.🙂👍💯❤

[@allanliversidge9827]

I'm an Alco person, but the resilience of these old EMDs has to be admired and respected 😊❤

[@infinity3jif]

This is the locomotive that chases you in your nightmares.

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

Incredible

[@patrickbryant5224]

It lives!

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

[@attilathehundownunder5719]

Having spent many days of my professional life walking around Newport with the shunters there, and having had many trains moved by Y136 (as well as the occasional ride), that sound is so familiar.

[@darrellbradley9334]

The wraspy Sound of the Exhaust Love it ;) .

[@GenX-Gamore]

That is just amazing seeing this old patina covered Loco move and work like it was brand new. ^5

[@bradleypark1936]

A most satisfying video! Thank-you.

[@australiantrains8988]

Great video, I remember Y102 stored in the shed when I was there about four years or so back, good to see it fired up and running, some rust removal and a good paint job, which Seymour is renown for, will see Y102 good. The "Y" class, if my memory serves correct, used the old bogies and traction motors off the old Tait sets in order to reduce building costs back in the day?😉

[@smedleyfarnsworth263]

Yes they used bogies off the withdrawn swing door motor cars. 1918 technology still going.

[@debbirbodner5358]

I love this type of history. A train engine that is very old and still running. Keep this engine alive it's history. Fix this engine and let it run at times. People don't realize that this engine makes a lot of runs.🎉🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉🎉 It's American made with respect.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Definitely dignified decay. It sounds wonderful. 😊👍

[@ljosephdumas3113]

I'm 65. I'm stealing that line for my gray hair/beard and wrinkles!!! 🤣

[@PaulinesPastimes]

@ljosephdumas3113 You're welcome🙂

[@Trainanatic]

Looks like they were having a great time running it up and back. now that is what I call playing with big boy toys!

[@Danistheman632]

The reason why is so that Incase of a failure it's not on the main tracks. This not to delay freight or passenger Transit. Plus since it hasn't ran in a long time they have to test everything to see if it's working properly

[@sunalp2]

I was a shunter at Tottenham yard in the early 70’s. I’ve most likely worked with that engine.

[@rambojambone4586]

We must be in Australia. I’m in Chicago! Great video.

[@scottcochran384]

My Great Grandfather was a Engineer on Steam Engines all his life, for the Brookville & Mahoning RR which ended up being the pittsburgh Shawmut line.. He Retired after making One Run on a New Diesel engine Out of Brookville Pa. I think around 1977. {this is a guess} i've been intrigued by Trains ever since.. I have a photo of him dismounting off the Diesel on his last Day... a Current engineer I know I showed the photo, He took me in and I got to go on a Ride on that Exact engine Many Many years after Great Grandfathers passing.. it's still being used..

[@RailsOfViR]

[@ianwoff7000]

Wonderful to see and hear - look forward to seeing livery restored (although I prefer blue and gold!)

[@BenjaminRowe-hc7uo]

I like the '80 orange and grey paint scheme,but the " classic" blue yellow also looked pretty good as well.Great vid.👍🇦🇺

Mo mater where you are or what type of train it is, it's always nice to see them move under their own power again and knowing that maybe one day they will be nice and shinny again pulling coaches or wagons on a preseved railway bringing joy to many a person. Well done team.

Just needing new seals on the turbo's, some new valves or the old ones cut in, some new piston rings but mainly, new fuel injectors and you're good to go...on with a new cab and body work. Great to see. We have many projects like that going on in the UK. Cheers!

Bravo and thank you for saving her, she is a beast that deserves a second life, she looks beautiful despite her worn dress.

My mum and dad live in a small country town in southern NSW when I was kid Dad knew the guys who would run these up from Vic and so they would stop behind our house and let me drive the 40kms to the end of the line to the next town on weekends. It’s one of the best childhood memories I have. I’d love to go back.

It's a GM/Clyde E6B. It has an EMD 6-567C marine V6 and, oddly enough, GE traction motors. The engines were originally designed for marine use.

[@pierreronach9449]

So cool !!it's like the train version of the truck from the movie Duel!!

[@xlerb2286]

There was an engine like that used on a small regional railroad close to where I grew up. It would sometimes sit idling for hours waiting to load up grain cars at the elevator. When it was a quiet winter night when the air was dense and the wind was right you could hear it in the farmyard like it was sitting in the yard. It's so good to see those engines still running. They may be obsolete but that doesn't mean they're unimportant or that we should forget them.

[@vincentchaza8111]

That's what I was thinking too.

[@johnboughton7451]

Well if you ever wanted a subject to copy weathering on your model locomotives this is your example it’s got everything I’m definitely saving this video
