Now that was an engineer who had places to go and people to see! I had no idea a train that long could accelerate so quickly. That was impressive.

Wow ! Zero to sixty in about 2.5 minutes ! Actually, that's the fastest locomotive launch I think I've ever seen .

[LeeDfined]

That engine sound just does something to me every time. My bedroom window as a teenager was right next to a double tracked CSX mainline. Trains are nostalgic and calming to me. Have seen this many times. My house was across the river from a B&O signal bridge.

Those two GE’s got after it! I’d pay extra to watch a “drag race” between two loaded coal trains, side by side, pulling from a dead stop, up Crawford Hill in Nebraska…one equipped with GE’s and one equipped with EMD’s.

"Awesome catch. I like how it just took off from a complete stop to full throttle."

The U30C with the 7FDL-16 the Southern Pacific had was always one of the best sounding engines out there.

I've always been an EMD fan but you can't deny GEVO's sound pretty damn mean👍🏼😎

Music to my What a gorgeously AWESOME sound!!! And, enhanced by my studio headphones ....total eargasm!

[SRT]

First time ever seeing a loco haul that damn fast 😂 -- that means they can go much faster then 😂😂

[npo]

Wow! That really picked up speed quickly!!! So powerful!

[kennyt]

Those GE Locomotives sound's absolutely awesome in notch 8

[ryanhruska]

That got up to speed pretty darn fast. That's a boat load of weight to up and move.

[steveholt]

Man that was nice! He stepped on out of there.

[FiremanSVFD-cfjn]

Man I had forgotten about that rocket blast off. Thanks video.

[stokerboiler]

Even with a lot of power, a train accelerating this briskly means the cars are mostly MT

[xylpjxh]

Enjoyed the video very much. I've never seen a freight train accelerate so rapidly !!!

[Khalif-AllahEntertainment]

Holy smoke! That’s a badass performance.

[michaelmappin]

That train is straight flying at the end. I tried to use a calculation of length per second but my numbers seem pretty astounding.

[mikehanks]

That was unbelievable. Now I know what high ballin' looks like.

[panam]

He's puttin' the whip to that lead phillie!
