[5050jordan]

felicidades buen video saludos desde mexico.

[kalebsthebest67]

are thos ac4400cws?

[nssd40E]

Only good thing about ge's is the whoop sound:)



[elr2141979]

WOW so clean

[TheTexasTornado10]

@simonpics1 I guess they must be EMD fanboys. Anyway, love the sound of the compressor!

[simonspics1]

Once again someone posted 4 dislikes how stupid are some YOUTUBERS? I think from now on if someone dislikes something they need to say why! Just dumb! Anyway I love the New Union Pacific red line paint skeme, that is so cool!!!!! I guess I hadnt seen that before.

[olmecbones]

Union Pacific "Building America"

...with engines built in Mexico.

[metraman0102]

@2010californa i agree 100%

[Bsklarski]

Electric compressors, gotta love them!

[ADKTrailbreaker]

I love that GE "whoop!"

[lotsoftrains123]

love that new engine idle

[trainman071]

you can tell that those engines are in their " run in time" just by listening to the pop of those cylinders. damn shame that the rail roads beat the hell out of some of them.

[jayfine01]

so



[fixierider97]

This video really shows how much of a beast those things are

[jayfine01]

those are cool dash-9s



[EdEddnEddy4]

@jayfine01

It's not a Dash-9 lol. It's the ES44DC, practically a enviromentally friendly C44-9W (Dash-9). The body and DC traction between the two make them hard to identify. But these are new locomotives and the Dash 9 was replaced by the AC4400CW (it's now replaced by the ES44AC) years ago. Sorry If I sound like a jerk, I just thought you might of wanted to know. :)

[BOXAXIU]

Theyre blowing air just like "Sigh i been waiting a long time.....when we start?"

[UTPRAIL]

exellent sound!!

Thanks

[ihave2rocks]

SD70?

[codybrock2345]

ES44DC UP 7357 idling



[barbarotico]

i'm thinking to purshase one of those.

[Trainaholic2946]

@barbarotico only about 1-2 million a peice. :)

[CSX8663]

@barbarotico good luck

[JetMechMA]

Geeez, why so many air hoses? They only need one in each direction, don't they? By the way, where have al, the comments gone? I'm sure I made a very complimentary comment on here before, but don't see it any more.

[JetMechMA]

@MrPicStuff Thanks!

[howardkevinm]

ah smell the fresh paint and clean disel! so pretty

[maniacmarklewin52]

great video enjoyed

[brandonissocoollike]

why are they in PA? P.S great vid also nice CSX in background!!

[trainboy437]

@brandonissocoollike Because GE is based there

[lap158]

Wonderful sound and locomotive, very nice film,

Luiz

[geomodelrailroader]

look at those Dash 9s (C45s in UP speak) out of GE EVOLUTION WORKS and off to Proviso to join the UP fleet

[CSXtrackworker]

@egpg2000 That is correct. You pay less for the GE's upfront, but more in the long run on maintenance and repair's. The emd's you pay more up front, but less in maintenance. And the EMD's will keep chugging away.

[miachevydude]

USA Locos rule!!!

[7nordic]

Yes they sound very smooth and as you say its pity they wont be that clean again as they are UP locomotives

[gebass6]

Does anyone know the cause of the sounds at 0:36,0:38,1:01,and 1:07?

[northstar2007]

@gebass6 air brake system discharge etc

[CRQ5508]

@gebass6 That's the air compressor. GE uses a belt driven compressor off the drive shaft. The initial "whoop" noise is the pulley tightening the belt against the drive shaft to engage the compressor. All other North American locomotive manufacturers used a directly-driven compressor that always spun when the engine was running but only activated when needed.

[gebass6]

@CRQ5508 Thanks for the reply!I've always suspected that it was a compressor being activated,but was never able to ask and confim my question.

[rockbandfreak31]

Wow very cool

[megs905]

Sounds like GE Genesis

[operazanotaijin]

GE's sure are quiet. 

[harrodsburgNSfan]

@operazanotaijin Actually if the wind is right, or if they are throttling up, GEVOs can actually get quite loud.

[operazanotaijin]

@harrodsburgNSfan I have no doubts about that. Then again, that can be said for most locomotives!

[joshmeister4449]

thats the LAST time those engines will be that clean since there UP, shame

[railfanman]

ES44ACs

[78memito]

que hermosos amimales por dios

[2010californa]

man i love the sound they make at 0:35 i love the sound

[FreightBrute]

@2010californa I totally agree. I could listen to that all day.

[NVTrucker]

@2010californa

That sound you hear is the air compressor kicking in and out.

[2010californa]

@NVTrucker i knew that but i just like the sound

[Amtrak79mph]

@2010californa that sound is the air compressor kickin' in 

[2010californa]

@Amtrak79mph ok

[metraF40PH163]

@2010californa Yup, that brings back memories from when I was younger and would watch the Amtrak P40/ P42's at Toldeo Union station.

[blackflagqwerty]

@2010californa That's the compressor

[101HeyNow]

@2010californa I think thats the sound of the air tanks venting excess pressure or the airbrakes releasing.

[k5lta]

@2010californa Agreed, think thats the Compressor Belt, the P42s sound the best doing it.

[simonspics1]

@2010californa You got that right! Sounds like solid power!

[ACLTony]

@2010californa - Yes, that is a cool sound. Air Pop off with the Air Compressor kicking in.

[andre100BNSF]

@2010californa So do I!! I wonder what that is? Maybe it is the air brakes or something else. Whatever it is, like that sound!

[apriliaryan]

@2010californa Just fyi the sound was the air dryer cycling followed by the Air Comp kicking on.

[dopendao]

so beauthifull



[caulk04]

Pretty cool, I work right next to the plant where they manufacture the engines...I hear those running all the time from the test cells.

[rayman4449]

Sweet :)

[dylanbobby1]

New loco smell.

[sd80macrswt]

good dam they look so good!!!!!!

[trainmandan05]

Probably keeping them warm so they don't half to cold start them and warm them up agian. . .

[k5lta]

what is up with all the ge vs emd locomotive trolls? kill yourselves!

[theratfarmer]

it does sound kinda klunky. GE can make money in many other areas (aircraft turbines, nuc./steam generators, security systems and what ever else, etc...), EMD is the locomotive engine of choice, all over the world.

[CYQT]

@theratfarmer

Engine of choice? Says who?

Older EMDs used to be the workhorse of North America. Now, ask any engineer or conductor, the new EMD ACES suck balls.

BNSF was handed somewhere in the neighborhood for 50 free ACEs if they put an order in.

The new GEs are superior to EMDs in comfort, rideability, cab quietness, and as far as I'm concerned, reliability.

[coborn35]

@CYQT I highly doubt EMD just donated BNSF 100 million dollars.

[CYQT]

@coborn35 I don't. When you have a junk product, you pretty much have to entice ppl to buy 'em.

[metraF40PH163]

@theratfarmer I would not say engine of choice as the class 1's have far more GE power than EMD. Both companies make great quality engines

[operazanotaijin]

A very heavy, pounding idle. Sounds neat in its own right if I may say so.

[MrAmericano1964]

WUNER SCHÖNS VIDEO SUPER BILDER

[lukasfols1]

what kinda locos are they

[trainOholic]

@lukasfols1 ES44AC

[lexmarks567]

do they have that new locomotive smell LOL

[pznerd]

CSX Doin' work

[howardkevinm]

total awesomeness!!!!

[MoPacBoy]

Those look awesome with new paint

[mjet401bnsf]

do u ever go up in em

[NBAGOATS]

Sounds new.

[Superedit]

That's how they sound - complete with the occasional "whoop!" of the air compressor kicking on.

[lucasoilfan]

ho my god those things sound SOOO HEALTHY!!! very nice! GE is on the ball!

[daswurger]

They're gems! beautiful locomotives....

[atsf3780]

i just got an n scale model of 7346!

[Jemalacane]

Are any of these AC6000's?

[AmtrakTitan455]

@Jemalacane They're GEVOs.

[teddybeareleventeen]

I'm not a UP man but these look really good!

Five Stars.

[CSXer]

@teddybeareleventeen Right. They'd look better with a CSX YN3 paint scheme.

[chefjavier]

Any new locomotives are coming in 2010?

[rockguitarist946]

@chefjavier that's what I've been saying

[HarunaInKrupp3118]

0:49 CSX DASH8

Nice GE ES44AC

[morfeusz120]

Super real vigeo.Great sound.5*****

[KillaTbone1]

Anyone have an idea on how much they cost.

[xxxrn]

@KillaTbone1

The cost is around 2 million each.

[belate2]

@xxxrn and worth every cent. nothing sweeter than a big

GE laying the torque to the generator.

[meccaturbo]

@belate2 I agree....I love that GE sound!

[yourpageitsasheed]

hello very nice video¡¡¡ 5* you dont know so,the new locomotives to FERROMEX¿? sorry my english its bad :O)

[randommagnum]

That is okay. My Spanish is much worse! LOL

General Electric sells many locomotives of this type to Ferromex. El General Electric vende muchas locomotoras de este tipo a Ferromex.

[abeemanator]

The engines sound like a really low idling Briggs and stratton lawn mower, i like EMD's myself, you should check ot my video, just look up SD60m #2409. It is a TRI CLOPS!!!

[funnyfunnys]

13!?!?! cool!

[lewismcfarcry]

Sounds very nice, I don't believe anything is wrong, GE's sound that way when they come out new.

When they are new there are a few things here and there but I don't spot any in the video.

Nice Vid!

[t3hsully1985]

@lewismcfarcry Give them a few years out on the road and they'll sound just as angry as any other GE! :-)

[nihongo02341]

@lewismcfarcry

Because they are 4 stroke diesel engines and operate a different air compressor than the GMs they will always sound different. They sound like a 4 stroke.

[lewismcfarcry]

@nihongo02341

I know that silly, I work with big block engines here at home and I hear a similarity in noise correspondant to the locomotives on here.

I too am an engine expert, doing diagnostics on them is a jiff, which is why I see nothing wrong with these units. All I really see right there, is a lot of money and a lot of power that went into those units.

[mlavender480]

Sounds like either an exhaust leak or someone left a petcock open...

[choirboyfromhell1]

Sounds like a loose exhaust flange or test cock.

[lcapelj]

Shiny monsters!

[lilgunzel761]

Did you take photo's?

[k5lta]

SEXY!!

[skuula]

Heaven, what is that? Mushrooms on wheels? Why didn't they just make them as cowl engines...

[Aero203]

my favorite video!

[tyleramtrak]

are those c45accte locomotives

[BudmanPackfan]

that is UP's classification.

[Aero203]

hell yeah! they sound and look better!

[nssteve1979]

Great post! Are these new units awaiting pickup by NS and forwarding to UP?

[trainmaster500]

whyisitused - I think most diesels are made in Canada by GM and there are a few builders still in the US. In Portland I've heard about streetcar manufacturing (US made)

[muddshovel1]

Why are all the jobs going over seas ? is because the drugs are coming from there ?

And rotting peoples minds ? Here ?

[1petealmquist1]

did you see that manifest train go by at 0:52?

[cali22boi]

Its only CSX. Usually under-powered and perhaps will derail on poorly tied tracks.

[whyisitused]

Boy America has really lost its touch for good tough equipment...I think we deserve our spot in the world! See ya down the rails, or off too the side...hahahah

[whyisitused]

I think those are now made in India not Erie? I would think they would close Erie down, way to expensive to pay the union and fat executives

[MilwaukeeRoad261]

AWeSOME!!!

[espeeboy]

Wait 'til you guys hear the horns on this new batch of UP ES44AC's (UP still calls them C45ACCTE). They have a new sounding 5-chime horn very eerily similar to a P-5!!!

I'm still looking for a video on youtube of one of these new 2009 order UP guys sounding off. ..

[roundhouser]

One of those GEVO's sounds like Granpa's old tractor.

[Railfan19960]

wow, nice!

[juvmol]

nice it woud have been god to see all numbers of the engines

[blizzard4800]

I like Uncle Pete!
