If only Class 66's sounded like this in daily service, it'd be far more interesting! Nice video. Great to hear the 66 engine unsilenced.

@ Jim40135 that yinging sound is the gear drivin turbo charger it runs off the crankshaft till about 500 RPM then the clutch kicks off and lets the exhaust take over driving the turbo

@BNSF5608 It would run fine. The turbo clutch does not 'cut out' at a certain speed - the exhaust becomes strong enough to drive it beyond the geared speed. If there is no exhaust gas present (as in this clip), it will still run, even to run 8. It just won't make the power it should. It would more or less produce the power of a Roots-blown equivalent.
That's often how the railroad will convert a GP40-2 into a GP38-2 - by pinning the overrun clutch.
Cold start after removal of exhaust manifold for gasket replacement.Thought it a good idea to flash it up and clear any debris from the ports.
