When I worked at Chicago Central this was our primary power....we had over 50 GP10s and GP8s.

It’s interesting how many extra steps there are to starting a diesel locomotive than a diesel truck

funny looking steam locomotive

0:56 is awsome K5LA

K5LA Nice catch

Freight trains can be giant monsters

My Grandpa worked for the UP for 35 years, while I'm sure he never drove one of these I'm glad to see a bit of what his job was like.

Damn, that is a nice sound. So satisfying when it starts. I wonder if many, or any, women appreciate it.

I am kinda young for a railfan, but this was my actual birthday. Sorry I’m 11 years late

Thanks! I was trying to fiure out how to start my new train all year!

Definitely dirtier than the ones in the simulators.

What footage is the Clearwater sub

I know that ones in rough shape, but it would be perfect for that operation if they wanted their own steam

Тоже что и у нас

Nagyon jól szól a V12. Gyönyörű hangja van.

Sir agar bhagwan na kare kabhi alco or emd locos ki takar ho jay to jada nuksan kis locomotive ka hoga iska video banakar batana

The sd45s four ale cusin. They SOUND JUST LIKE THE SD45!THEY HAVE 12 CYCLINDER 645E3C PRIME MOVERS IN THEM. THEY TOO ARE VERY RARE LOCOMOTIVES. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO BUY THEM IN HO SCALE.

Yes, but you didn't open tge test cocks and roll it over first when you pulled the Low Oil button out. If there was any water in the cylinders, to crank it without opening the test-cocks, it would blow a hole in the pistons. Also check the oil on the dipstick and the water level in the sight glass. All that plus confirm the quality of the fuel sight glasses on the opposite side og the governor area than the start switch is. ONLY THEN, HIT START. Assist the crank-up by pressing in the Lay Shaft handle. I've done it thousands of times, to where I could do it in my sleep! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. It brought back fond memories!

Sweet sound sweet..

on the up railroad if the engine is cold we are required to open the test cocks and blow the engine out because a cyl might have water

Derail Valley reference irl!!!

if only the autotrain was in Oklahoma

0:10 - setting breakers 0:20 - tutning on control in the local cab and fuel pump 0:35 turning on engine run switch and steering 1:06 turning on the engine

Very cool

A bay window Caboose

You need to crank to start an diesel engine

Me at 3AM

For some reason I thought it was just putting a key in the ignition

Now all I got to do is make it safely to the rail yard unnoticed.

Nice WABCO bell

Great Video!

I like smart start better

what means by "Fuel Prime"

Totally rusty

Man. Sure dirty & rough. Not like marine. Still, beautiful sound.

thanks for showing, the fun part is when you push the red handled "lay" shaft, and rev-up the engine. its used on cold engine, its a throdle handle.. keep up the good work.

These are the coolest sounding engines!

These video's are the reason they don't allow me in museums.

pretty cool shoving platform/ caboose

Wow !!

Camera work made me dizzy, but very interesting but couldn't read all the nameplates because the camera moved on too soon.

So you switch some switches and turn a knob...not especially helpful

You better believe I’m gonna go steal a train tomorrow now I know how to start it.!! Could you do a video on driving the train also.?? Please.

okay, this is cool

Love working on this power

No chance of accidentally starting that 🤣

and if the battery is dead just roll it down a hill and pop the clutch

Something that has always struck me as missing is an oil system prime. You have a fuel system prime but nothing to fill the oil galleries before the engine starts.

Boy that's a Raggedy locomotive.

Is there a hot plate in the cab for making some soup?
