From idle to notch 8 in 23 seconds

This guy doesn't bother with notching. Run 8! :D (2062 116, EMD G26C).

Wow, that is the best heavy throttle vid I have seen in a while.

This is great. Reminds me of the early 50's IC GP9s in Hardeman county. Great sound. At that time they had just shifted from steam. The entire train consisted of about 20 or 30 cars. And after dropping off a few empties and picking up a few loadeds, the engineer hit the horn a few times and go thru the notches to 8 in about 6 seconds and roar out of town.

Sounds somewhat like the Too-Quiet GE9X engine..

Other than kicking cars in a railyard I've only seen the Burlington Northern E8's notched up that quickly when Metra used to operate them.

Drivers in Belgium on the EMD powered locomotives (all 12 or 16V 567C) did the same with lighter loads, on passenger trains with 4 or 5 coaches to notch 2 and then directly to notch 8 in 10 seconds.
I will upload some video's from these in some time (now editing the video's)
These 2062's sound very similar although they have the 645 engine without turbo.

Great sound! They remind me of a GP38-2 or a GP9RM!

[BossSpringsteen]

Its just a couple of handfull of railcars. I've notched up that quick before too with a few cars. Nice GP38-2 sound.
