BTW this is not exacly a mac notice the flared radiators some railfans includeing me like to call it the inbreed of a mac and ace we call it a mace. :)
This is a second generation SD70MAC. Earlier designs had flat radiators; when the horsepower was increased on the later variants, the radiators were canted outward to add cooling capability.
I never said they were SD70ACes. 'SD70AC' is CSX's designation for the SD70MAC, because their numbering computer can only support up to six characters.
okay, i just take pics of trains for something to do. so im no foamer or tech savy person. is this in a high idle or in neutral in higher gear to charge the air brakes?
Technically, those two are the same thing. The engineer has the reverser in N (neutral) and the throttle somewhere above 4, on a scale of 1-8. He is probably doing this to pump up the trainline air, yes. :)
@stormspotter67 EMD engines, 60 series and up have computers on board that monitor parameters like main reservoir pressure. After startup, if it's lost it's MR pressure, it'll idle up the engine to turn the compressor faster to build air. The diesel engine crankshaft comes out both ends of the block, one side for the main gen and the other for the compressor. There are EMDs out there with electric compressors, but they're not common on our line (CN)
You can, go to Best Buy, they sell external sound cards for PC. Uses USB connect and has a line out and RCA inputs too. You can jam on home stereo from PC
This is music to my ears!! an I agree, this would sound AWESOME thro subwoofers!!!! Im sick of the loud-ass mufflers coming from kids cars outside my window...
love the video- you said your a "Railfan" and out at the yard? do you work for CSX??? wondering how youve liked it, what you do, so forth.... Im just finishing up my deisel tech training and got a whole bunch of apps out for CSX... Ive always like trains in my own way and wanting to work on them,.,
HI speaker police i really love this vid ! the sound is AWESOME! its on my favs sorry if i upset you about a year back! with my comment ! i do like your vids regards raymondrayban , north london once again WHAT A SOUND! keep up the good WORK !
@SpeakerPolice Lol, in my opinion the EU trains look strange, theyre all round.. and yeah im a huge train enthusiast, I have a resteraunt near me that was an old trainstation, and the track is still in use lol, so the freight trains go right beside the resteraunt, everything starts shaking its awesome... I always make a reservation beside the windows next to the track :D
I am looking at my original EMD SD70M operator's manual right now, and it states that full load maximum RPM for the 16-710G3 engine is 904 RPM. It's rather ignorant to call someone that's been researching the finer points of railway diesel engines for the better part of five years a 'fool'.
@SpeakerPolice Not you...you're correct (although for longevity, EMDs like being somewhat under 900 for the most part). The other "fool" who said they spin up to 2600 RPM! EMDs have always been rated for 900 in stationary generator service, going back to the 567s, but on the rails they were 825 through 875. First one to go all the way to 900 was the 20V645E3 in the SD45X that went to SP. It was quickly derated, although that one had the rear main bearing webbing modification.
Ohhh, whoops. Now I feel stupid. ^^; Sorry about the misunderstanding! xD Those SD45Xs were something else. How I wish there was just one left...I wonder if that hunk of half of one of them is still rusting away in Kentucky.
@SpeakerPolice I think the SD45Xs went back to EMD fairly early and SP never bought them, but I'm not completely sure. The Xs, including the GP40Xs (which SP later bought and kept) were test beds for the failed 50 series. SP traded the GP40Xs for some GP60s later on, that much I remember. The big deal about the 45X was that EMD proved they could rate the 20V at 900 RPM (3800 HP) without it breaking a crankshaft. They also had the first radar anti-slip system and 42" drivers on HT-C trucks.
Still sounds the best.....beautiful and addictive.......but i'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing... as my kids think i'm a bit strange for liking these things.......mostly as i'm a female.. and.. i'm not gay, as far as I know.........but do you get that? is this weird?
It's not weird at all! These big engines have a certain allure to them that draws peoples' attention. I was hooked the very first time I heard one. xD
Wow only 904 RPM??? Well i guess it sounds like more because of the 16 cylinder arrangment. Iron splittin torque. I wish i had a diagram to see the drivetrain layout. That always interested me in how they got that to work.
@SpeakerPolice I'll check it out....Man I'm amazed at these things. I know the engines only turn about 2000-2500 RPM max but Christ!!! it's so deep and loud!!! LOVE IT!
Not sure on the 710 series, but the maximum rpm on a 16-645E3 is only 904. xD I fell in love the moment I drove by my local yard for the first time. xD
That is a SD90 note the lighting bolt under the unit number, That is CSXs way of showing that that Loco is a AC-loco. SD90 is a bit bigger in size than a SD70. some SD90 were 6000h/p. UP reengined theirs to 4390h/p. A SD70m is 4000h/p and the new SD70ACE is 4390h/p.
This is an SD70MAC, which CSX designates SD70AC. CSX never had any SD90MACs; the most powerful AC locomotive they have ever owned is the SD80MAC, which have a totally different radiator section and never visit this area. ALL AC locos on the CSX EXCEPT the ES44's have this lightning bolt, including the SD70AC, AC4400CW, and AC6000CW, which has two.
Helps build up air faster and build up heat. Low idle to long with cold oil can damage a engine. Higher idle helps pump more oil to warm it up faster.
I might actually be able to do that. I have a CD burner and a program that extracts and exports audio from my videos. Now, I just need some blank CD-R's. xD
@OCASSROCK the engine shuts it self down after a certain amount of time as a fuel saving measure it is called a autostart feature that starts the engine and shuts it down. to answer your question NO it does not have lojack
They must be a good loco because BHP is standardising on them to haul 35,000 ton ore trains in 120F heat in Australia where I live. They have much bigger "winged" radiators though (SD70Ace).
the diesel engine (710 G) I do believe is a 2 stroke for this SD70AC. unlike a gasoline 2 stroke only air is drawn in and pushes the exaust out. and just like in a four stroke it heats the air via compression and then the injector sprays in the fuel. So environmentalists can actually enjoy these SD70's...no unused fuel escapes and the exaust is relatively clean. I absolutely love the sound of the 2 stroke 710
Man CSX is a great railroad! These Sound AMAZING!!!!! And you "Green" people need to chill! these are better than 100,000,000 trucks out there and yes it would be that many the railroads Haul Billions of tons! Without the railroads the US would be what it was before them!
It's not a Detroit engine. Electro-Motive builds their own engines; this one is a model 16-710G3. (although, the big EMDs are related to the smaller Detroits)
It was very windy that day. Most of the engine audio is lower frequencies, so if you're listening on laptop speakers, or low-quality speakers, you won't hear much else.
It's no problem =) I was going to try foam, but there's really no way for me to attach it to my mic, as it's recessed inside a tiny opening on the front of the camera.
yeah we had them back in the 70s and 80s...the government took them out in the early 90s...im not sure the reason why ...we used to have this steam train that ran cross island..called the Newfie bullet....i miss it..now all our frieght comes by truck..great for truckfanning =)
wait is that in canada and im sorry i actually live near a crossing an don get me wrong i love hearin all that horsepwoer but it gets a nnoying at 3 am
NL? yes it is..and i know LOL..before i lived in newfoundland i lived in ontario...right next to the local trainyard...that was quite the pastime sit and watch the trains go by...
wow!!!!!! 100% pure power!! listen to the sound at 0.55 sec as it powers up....absolutely awe inspiring..... I want to take up train spotting as a hobby some day..what a find!!
For some ENGLISH 710 action, look up class 66, which is mainly frieght or 67, which although primarily freight, being a high speed locomotive (125 mph) can handle passenger work too.

Thanks! and I have to agree, there's nothing quite like the sound of an EMD engine. =)
It's not hard at all to start trainspotting, all you need really, is access to a yard! XD
