Case study of the GE ES44dc

[DieselSmoke92]

I captured CN 6008 in Jasper, AB October 26, 2011.

[UnitCallingGoAhead]

Great sounds, my boy loves this video.

[C45ACCTE]

Cool vid, thanks!

THATS NOT THE PROPER HORN WARNING I LNO NORFOLK SOUTHERN N CSX ENGINEERS

[doerpholz]

Those marker lights on the nose make it look like an ex-Conrail or a Gonrail loco even though Conrail was long gone before the GEVOs

[3DPeter]

jesus christ! i'm glad that i live in holland, were we don't have freighttrains who pull the horn every goddamn second, so that a whole town wakes up in the midle of the fucking night. I would go insane living next to a railroad like that, and shove that horn up the traindriver ass in no time. Here we would sue the hell out the train companies if they would dare to make such a damn noise.

[gonetoworkbbackin5mi]

@3DPeter Blow it out your ass, girly man.

[3DPeter]

@gonetoworkbbackin5mi

yeah fuck you too, dude

[uberstupidmove]

Love that horn.

[julienjjj]

Ou a tu trouver ces loco ? Rive-sud ?

[Bicot65]

Effectivement, rive-sud: plus précisément, Cantic et St-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

[fleecejackets]

Those teardrops look great. Awesome video!

Im surprised the ditchlights wherent on at 2:45

[ACLTony]

I've always liked the teardrop windshield design. They were first used on the EMD FP45 class in 1967, followed by the F45, DDA40X, SDP40F, and the F40C during the 1970s. The teardrop design was re-introduced on the Santa Fe's "Super Fleet" GP60s in 1990. So glad to see that this style windshield is still in use by the Canadians. The now standard rectangular winshields are cheaper for the railroads, especially in areas where vandalism is a problem, but imho they're unattractive..

[PlanBSkater3191]

whats with cn and their teardrop windows

[yodonvito4]

They improve visibility. Those Canadians are always thinking safe. They pioneered the safety cab (Canadian Wide Cab), teardrop windows, and ditch lights.

[WetDirtProductions]

hahaha yah, you forgot about the crossbucks at crossings, outlined in red :P and to everyone who makes fun of us for being safe, atleast we have a better chance at survival in an accident.

[thefsbitch]

Thanks! for the compliment Canadians and Americans don't always get along but it is refreshing when we compliment one anouther!

[Jemalacane]

@thefsbitch Canada is an awesome international neighbor. The United States could not ask for better.

[trainguyONR]

the back of the locomotive looks like a hammerhead shark lol and sweet vid

[Nathanrailfan]

CN is sad with tear drop windows.

[ZetanCrisp]

Superb. Nice to hear one pulling from a standstill too :)

[dashloc]

Sympa ! j'aime bien les ronronnements de la bête !

[NSSD80MAC7202]

Vidéo impressionnante!

[ConrailSD70MAC]

I captured 2223 leading a train across the Missisquoi Bay Bridge in Vermont in January 2008! Nice vid!

[jeantalon1]

Brevo ! Très belles images.

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!

[RRYankfan]

wow hard to beat that video high throttle noches with a ES and a SD just cant beat those vids now can ya

great video

[navyphantom2]

Those GEVO's are the best. You just gota love the sound of it's diesel. Can't wait for T55 to release thier version. The tear drop windos look the best also, don't know why the later GEVO's changed to the rectangular ones. Looks a pit squinty eyed. CN has the absolute best paint scheme. It just has that bold aggressive look, like an Indian Chief's war paint! Thanks for the video!

[timberley512]

CN is the only road which has the tear drop windshields on their GEVO's, just like on their Dash 9's. It's not that later models went to the rectangular ones, but rather everyone except for CN have had the rectangular shields since the start (look at the GE prototype even). The tear drops do look wonderful though. It's another reason I love CN.

[NsRailfan083]

wow didnt know CN had 'em. thought only NS BNSF KCS UP CSX had geevos'

[Bicot65]

yes indeed, even the CP has them...

[theGUYwho1]

@NsRailfan083 Realy! CP has some too, and ferromex too ithink.

[gringo4x4do]

EMD's always sound strained ! GE's have a much greater sound with their chugging 4 strokes.

[SpecificationR]

thanks for sharing. i love the sound of the gevo. its so much louder than everything else!

[juliussespiritu]

In my town there's been a recent appearence of GEEVO's but the AC4400CWs, Dash 8s, and AC6000CWs still hang around.

[cheeko122]

C'ÉTAIT POUR LES ANGLAIS FRANCKLLPX

[franckLLPX]

pis sa , il save ses quoi sont pas inocent comme toé haha !

[silicon212]

#1 - the horn on that sounds like a K5LLA - what EMD uses on its SD70ACe/M-2 units.

#2 - the EMD sings a more musical song, although the 12-cylinder GE sounds good too.

[cheeko122]

NO ON CPR LOL

[franckLLPX]

C'est du CN idiot

[skarkot]

CSX is the shit thats why!

[furryfurball1221]

All u see is Gevo's on CSX!
