Sounds a little over-revved during startup. Nice startup though!

This locomotive actually uses neither of those methods to start. Starting with the main generator is done on older locomotives with DC generators.
This unit (as with many other alternator-equipped EMD units) uses separate starter motors, like on a car, and the whining noise at the beginning is from motor gears and starter ring.

I've seen the 6150 before in Lansdale.

They use ther alternator in reverse operation (used as a motor) to turn it over, Either that, or they use an Airstarter.

It's a GP38RS...CSX derated a bunch of GP40-2s and labled them GP38s... I think all of the exRF&P GP40-2s are now, and also a bunch of the 6000 and 6100s are. -Jeffrey

So did they remove the turbochargers when they derated them? Because it sounds like these units still have them.

They're still turbo'd.

I've run locomotives my entire working career. Been a road foreman and an engineer trainer. I've owned locomotives and bought and sold used ones to the industrial switching and shortline market
And yet I'm always amazed that some people know so much about the types and what was what and when it was this and that. LOL.

What can I say other than I'm good with numbers/dates lol. Or maybe it's just being a dumb railbuff! When I started working for the railroad I noticed nary an engineer actually knows what he's running, so long as it runs!
