spectacular EMD 710 sound

[HotForgeChaos]

An EMD 710 would be awesome down here in New Zealand. Unfortunately they probably wouldn't fit into our trains. We use EMD G18C and G22AR models down here, built by Clyde Engineering in Australia. The G18s used to use the 567 series but were then retrofitted to use the 'blown 645 seires. The G22s initially used a blown 645 but then converted to a turbo when NZR realised they needed more grunt. At Notch 8 they sound spectacular and man are they loud!

CHUBBY

[TJD24tamebandkk]

At notch eight she sounds like the 071 class loco that we have here in Ireland. They're used on freight mostly but they also serve other duties when needed.

[TheTheratfarmer]

EMD, they have the power and performance. no other Co. can compete.

[TheTheratfarmer]

i love listening to this.

[ttrainmixx]

Good !

[Clydemontreal]

Very cool yeah! For those who like 645s turbocharged, check the Metra MP36PH-3S. Since the prime mover drives a huge alternator for HEP, and HEP power is generated from 3rd notch and up, the sound has more lower frequencies than the F40PH (screamer) having to stay at high speed for HEP. Enjoy!

[Mittelfranke]

Music 8)

[GordonFreemanD40]

lol sounds like Notch 10 on a 645 (no such thing as Notch 10 is there?)

[ke4rit]

Niiccceeee....



[DCCSound]

My favourite 710 vid on YouTube. Pure awesome EMD power!

[theratfarmer]

no 20 cyliders? they sound like v-20's to me. EMD.

[formidable38]

@theratfarmer V16 710 G3C TII in SD70ace.

[formidable38]

@theratfarmer V16 710 G3C TII in SD70ace. Oh, and the SD70M-2's like the above!

[jbc6]

You like that? Do a Youstube search for "Tractor Tug pulling hard ." Two EMDs in full power - 6700 hp. Great sound!

[theratfarmer]

the emds just have that power and torqu.

[dheerajrao]

This is one of the best EMD videos I've ever seen! That 710 sure sounds awesome!

[csx5400]

That's the way EMDs are supposed to sound! I do not want to hear CAT engines in these locomotives.

[Seaboard1321]

@csx5400 no one does

[sp8192]

G. I. G. G. I. D. Y.!!!!!

[roundhouser]

EMD or GE, they all sound great in run 8.

[megs905]

Wow in Notch 8 listen to the turbo

[AmJaxineer]

@megs905 They are not necessarily in Notch 8. All EMD's with 710's rev up to full rpm's as soon as you hit Notch 6. Then after about 15-20secs if the throttle hasnt been increased, they idle back down to Notch 6. You will hear that happen around 2:25 as they idle down.

[megs905]

@AmJaxineer Oh really I never heard a 710 before. Thank you for informing me!

[EFC429]

You know what an EMD can do that a GE can't?

Make a car alarm go off at 0:13 with it's very own power.

[Seaboard1321]

@EFC429 lmao so true

[lukasfols1]

that is an awesome sound right there! thumbs up and a fav!

[trainguyONR]

Wow. that is all.

[spencermcgrew]

The sound of a turbocharged EMD 710 is out of this world. Less the bell--which betrays it as railroad--the first 15 seconds of this video would compliment nicely the bootstrapping of a captured alien space craft by a crafty protagonist in a high production Micheal Bay flick. Add to this a triumphant and inspiring [read as banal] snyth riff by Hans Zimmer and you will have successfully persuaded the audience that an approx. 50,000 lbs diesel engine can defy the governing laws of the universe.

[theratfarmer]

EMD all the way.

[theratfarmer]

this is awesome man, you gotta hear this,

[macdogq]

That is full throttle at a early start!

[UP5140SD70M]

Awesome, there are coal trains in iowa and when the SD70MAC's and SD70ACes are in run 8 it vibrate my tripod

[mt90945557]

HELL YEAH!!! These sound WAY better than GE trash!! GEs don't even sound like diesels, they sound like shit! Nothing beats the sound of an EMD 567, 645, or 710 Series engine!! Also on a GE you can't even hear the turbos on those, all you hear is the nasty crackling and banging sounds they make...

EMD > ge

[UP5140SD70M]

@mt90945557 I Agree! i want a GEVO To blow up in heelblocks face

[shadowknight227]

@UP5140SD70M WTF is the problem with gevos, man?

[UP5140SD70M]

@shadowknight227 they blow up,

[shadowknight227]

@UP5140SD70M yeah, SURE! Every time i see a GEVO, its on fire. EMD has its down sides too.

[UP5140SD70M]

@shadowknight227 not every gevo seriously? well yea gp50s had probs sd70aces stall sometimes

[shadowknight227]

@UP5140SD70M I like the sound of a good GE chug, and they seem to have more of a personality than EMD. I'm not saying that because im a GE fan, but they just do.

[UP5140SD70M]

@shadowknight227 yea,

[meherbaba01]

Imagine working on a tugboat with 2 EMD 645-20 E7B's working full ahead @ 800rpm - it's like having 2 locomotives in your living room! Crowley built 25 "INVADER" Class twin-screw 140' deep water line-haul tugs at McDermott in Morgan City, LA. in the 70's with twin EMD 645-20 turbos. These were the finest long haul tugs in the world at the time. We towed 450' x 100' oil barges with crude from Valdez to Seattle, The Bay Area, and Long Beach constantly with these great boats.

[rhondaw1]

the best sound ever.... you have to love this

[railfaninpf]

Wow!! What is it about that sound. Sends shivers down my spine. thanks for sharing.

[pancho010686]

wow is the most sound in all locomotives the emd 710 i love that sound

[theratfarmer]

emd is the king. who else can do this??

[NSAaron]

Man, that EMD 710G3C turbo is whining like hell, it's awesome!

[raymondrayban]

oh that big diesel loco sounds good! .......I MEAN GOOD!

[KraljLazar]

a music to my ears... :)

short horn blow wouldn't hurt, but it's perfect as it is... :)

[raulamx]

amazing beauty super sound :)

[SpeakerPolice]

The EMD 710 prime mover: The very sound of raw, unfettered power. Thank you for uploading this. :D

[WestCoastRails]

Awesome!! that is music to my ears!! I've been a huge EMD fan for years. Nothing beats the sound of turbo 645!! If you catch some SD40-2W doing the same thing...UPLOAD!!!

Cheers, WCR

[BEDstadt]

If you like the turbo 645, then you should have a look to my CN532 (at 4:30) or my CN 534 (2:32) videos. I think you will like my video "NSB Di4 ..." too. There you can see a loco, Germany built for Norways state railway. It's powered by the 16-645 E3B prime mover.

[trainguyONR]

I just shot a vid today and i caught 3 generations of EMD in the same shot. It's called Ontario Northland Freight Meets Northlander. Check it out if you want :)

[kuskanook135]

Check out 36 thousand horses.m4v! on youtube

It is about the Rogers pusher terminal in BC when Cp Rail used up to 12 SD40-2

locomotives to push west bound trains up the east side of the Selkirk mountains so they could go on their own through the connaught tunnel!!

You will enjoy it!!!

[Rocketboy1950]

@WestCoastRails What about some good solid 567's. Check the stall on my list.

[normken]

Such sweet thunder, the most beautiful sound in the world. Thanks.

Bye the way, the 201 Class Locos in Northern and Southern Ireland have 710's.

[BNSF5608]

These sounds pretty sweet. That 75 must have an unbalenced turbo charger causing the strange resonant squeal. The other whine that you hear when they give it all out is the Cooling fans at speed to cool the radiators. By far, my favorite locomotive sound has to be a 645 Turbo, or a EMD 567 Roots blown when it throttles up. But when it comes to new locomotives, nothing beats the compression knock and chug of a GE.

[JDeereGP]

That was awesome! The best ever!

[Learnin2Fly08]

Just Awesome sound right there!!!! great vid 5 stars!!!

[AndreiTupolev]

I wish people in the UK who say that EMDs are boring would see this. Take the silencer off a Class 66 and it'd sound like that.

[formidable38]

Yeah and add 4 more cylinders! If you like this, type in- SU-99 stalls part two

[rudevandriver]

people in the uk are seeing this!!!!!!!!!!!exceptional isn't it

[gm16v149]

@AndreiTupolev Yes but the Class 66s are 12 cylinder, these are 16 cylinder 710s.

[SD70MAC]

WHOA That loud GO EMD GO

[choirboyfromhell1]

Love it....the EMD 2-cycle sound was always one of the best. There is always a preponderance of loud fan (or turbo blade) humming with 710's...what gives.

Still give the edge to a trio of unmuffled SD-40's storming up Keating Summit, but I'll surely take this. Five stars.

[mafarnz]

Killer audio, love the throttle up.

[359realpete]

um, that's ok, i'll take a non turbo 567 in a GEEP or a 244 alco anyday instead..

[olegutn]

best sounding 710 i`ve ever heard:D

[entdeckeKanada]

Bei dem Video bekommt man fernweh. Mit dem Zug durch die Rocky Mountains, eine Traumreise!

[mpowell009]

sensational!

[formidable38]

8300HP of 2 stroke lovelyness! An awesome noise for sure!

[heldenstadt]

EMD rules. GE sucks.

[formidable38]

@heldenstadt OR...... EMD rules, everything else sucks!

[mt90945557]

@heldenstadt AGREE 100000000000000000000000000000­00000000000%

[UP5140SD70M]

@heldenstadt Agreed!

[GordonFreemanD40]

@heldenstadt Agreed, 710=BEAST, GEVO-12=BLAND

[GordonFreemanD40]

@heldenstadt I just said GEVO has bland sounds, almost quiet...
