Remarkable Engines: Yeoman 44

Considering that my most recent project focused on British engines on American soil, I might as well focus this episode on the exact opposite: an American engine on British soil. Although it was limited to a small quarry for its entire career, this engine in particular was so influential that its reliability inspired the domination of American freight engines in Britain to this day.

I found this quite an informative video! Now, I know how an American switcher on an industrial railroad in England caused more and more British railways to buy EMD locomotives!

Thanks for the video!

3:03 The Class 37 is actually quite reliable and is still in use today. (Also one of the best sounding)

[WasatchGarandMan]

Im shocked that they kept the bell. Wonder if she'll be preserved. Would fit great next to an S100 Yank Tank

[DCProductions]

I wasn't aware she was still in service.

You forgot one thing about the SW1001 Uk Version it is a Dual coupler like a class 66 locomotive. Basically the knuckle coupler is pointed downwards to downwards when you have to use the buffers and change and when you need to use the Knuckle coupler You unlock it using a pin then lock the AAR coupler into position using the Pin over the Buffers and chain coupler hook. Class 66 uses a Pin and Bar for AAR Coupler to be used on top of Buffers and Chains. Class 56 Diesel has two versions Communist Romania 001-030 and United Kingdom manufactured 031 & upwards.

[SteamFan]

Wasn’t there an American Switcher in the UK that got it’s cab crushed on a tunnel entrance?

[jade-a]

we also income sw8, sw1001 too!(one of sw1001that preservation saw personal)
but now using other emd do for switching

[erinconnelly]

I can’t believe they are still using antiquated buffers and chains as couplers.So much safer and easier with knuckle couplers.

[noahengelhardt]

I work with an SW1001 at my railroad. It’s a good motor.

[TankEngine]

Since you have been making videos on British locomotives in in American soil and vice versa, Have you heard of the Bliston Shay Locomotive? Shame it wasn't preserved

[shieldranger]

Im asking myself how i got here. But i am not dissapointed.

[Dulaman]

yeoman is pronounced more like yomin or yoman.
