Adelaide, freight and locals : Australian trains and railroads

[pcorf]

5:10 - 1990's 2000 class jumbo startup. Not the rev up and rev down. Just the rev up! ... Love it!

[theshugchannel]

is the horn on the class 2000 a wabco aa-2?

[trainadelaide2000]

At 5:02 2010's horn sounds really different like all the others I haven't heard it do it before. It just sounds normal.

Hi. Great video - as with all your stuff! At about 3:00 there's a 700 paired up with a "900"(?) - but what actually is a 900? It looks very like an old SAR/ANR 600 with a chopped-off short hood, and it certainly sounds like another ALCo (which has got to be a good thing!). To me a 900 was an English Electric 16CSVT-powered beast on SAR but perhaps I'm showing my age....! Cheers

@37201xoim It is a rebuilt 830

[Rocketboy1950]

@MrLyndonBushnell They are no longer in use

[bacpuri1]

Its gonna be sad when the Jumbos are retired in a few years when the electricfacation is done, Man, Its gonna look weird when the new trains and everything arrives. SteamRanger should get the Jumbos.

eww look at some good old american trains but nice video

[trainzclassics2]

Dry Creek Looks different than it was during the early 60's, is that true?

[Rocketboy1950]

Dunno, never saw the place until mid 80's

[rus0004]

Is it me or do those railcars look like someone has taken a Comeng carage from Melbourne and put an engine in it?

[Rocketboy1950]

It's definitely not you. Same cars but not from Melbourne.

[vanmaan72]

shit ther'v let the brorde guarge go , love the splatter of that allco

[B58PMCSA]

OOh, I love when those Jumbos really rev to get going, they sound bloody awsum!

[will409]

No longer can you get a poxbox pull up side by side with the stonie at Dry Creek, all Adelaide-Dry Creek and return services have now been terminated.

[pcorf]

Haha, Railcar No 3020 at the start. A "Smart Move" by TransAdelaide indeed.

rocketboy 1950 thankyou very much for the answer you yo have alot of helpful knowlidge coewee ill keepintouch

[coewee]

rocketboy1950 do you know why diesel locos hardly ever be turned of i notice maybe one hour or more they idle i thout it suck alot of fuel thanks coewee

[Rocketboy1950]

The theory was if they get shut down that the seals would dry out and that oil and water leaks would develop faster. There is also the consideration that working a cold engine does it more damage. Fuel consumption is a big factor now so many do get shut down and the new units with computers will not load up until the computer says its warm enough.

[coewee]

thankyou very much for the answers me and my brother watch the national pacific freight trains most nights at gillman dry creek ill keep in touch

[coewee]

what is the sound from diesel locos that sounds like awooop sound i would love to know

[Rocketboy1950]

Pinpoint it on the timeline.

[wlaohu]

A classic example of his question, is the NR class that makes that "awooop" sound. I too would like to know what this is about. I'm only guessing something to do with the engine throttle.

[Rocketboy1950]

You will hear the same noise come from an EL. It is the electric compressor starting up. Most locos have a mechanically driven compressor linked directly to the diesel engine.

[Bellwestern80]

I live in Britian and your diesels look similar. Great Video!
