These EMD locomotives do sound great. Especially at notch 8 with the humming sound of the generator.

@sicilian12345 My thoughts exactly. I love how there are no horn sounds, also.

Cool sound!!

@mmciau Wow, i hadn't noticed that before, all the panels are flexing in and out!!! Wouldn't it be great to be able to stand on the walkway!! They could sell tickets for that and probably make a fortune!!

@themanfromvan I compare weights to things I know. Eg a car is about 1 to 3 tons, Truck 10 to 15 tons. I couldnt comprehend 23,500 tons. So I googled for things I could compare it to. That load you pulled was exactly half the weight of the Titanic =O .
I know it depends on speed, but anyone any idea roughly for a particular speed, how many miles it would take a train with that load to halt on an emergency stop ?

I am a Locomotive Engineer. Yesterday I brought a train into Vancouver, B.c, that was 12 500 feet long and it was 23 500 tons. Two units on the head end and one in the middle. They don't get much longer or heavier than that any where on the planet.

Damn that sounds good!
I just can't get over how amazing this sounds!! I also can't tell you how many times I've blasted this on my stereo speakers, I wish more vids like this were made!

Nearly! I got the DVD this clip is taken from, BA Productions, "Cab ride over Donner." The units are 2 SD60's and a single GE dash8-40C.
