There is just something about the sound of the EMD's working hard that is sort of soothing or the like. It is the same sort of reaction one gets to hearing a merlin engine in full power.

I LOVE THESE OLD LOCOMOTIVES. THEY SOUND SO TUFF! NOTHING IS TOUGHER THAN THESE MACHINES. BRUTE POWER.

seeing cab/cowl units pulling freight is really cool. great sound

We’re so lucky to have so many old first generation EMD locos still working and kicking ass. The fact that they sound bloody beautiful is just the icing on the cake.

Thanks Schony747 for another Beaut Vid for us Lovers of the Old Vicrail Loco's. It helps keep the memory of my Father and my childhood on the Sunshine bend watching the Southern Aurora/The Overlander and freight movements alive.

Some monster sounds of EMD two strokes

[chuckeberth]

That's the way locomotives sounded when I was little in the 50's and 60's.

Great video Brenden! Lovely footage from Warrenheip with the old locos trying to get up the bank.

[gregthompson]

These grand old locos, terrific video

I used to spend holidays in a small cabin on the border between Sweden and Norway, you could hear their Di-3's for about 10 minutes on the uphill grade before you saw the train, they used the 567 engine and were built by NOHAB....

[timmungenast]

Yeah, that's a good reason to subscribe! Love it!

That train looks intimidating from the front, slow mover makes for a good video. We love our train video in Clemson SC, Go Tigers!

Good day Brenden,

It was only a matter of time before you went to Warrenheip & captured those beautiful sounding V16 EMD 567 at Notch 8 battling the grade.

Sounded absolutely awesome & soothing at the same time beautifully capture in all its glory.

In your professional opinion what is the harder grade to climb

Gooseberry or Warrenheip?

Great video thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cheers

Louis Kats ☺👍

Combined 5000hp (plus/minus) with 2500 tons on the drawbar?

I wish I'd gotten the chance to go out and watch them before they replaced them with Ns. I was going to go watch them shunting on what turned out the Wednesday after the last train was run with streamliners. Still got to see them in Totty yard

@1:34 1.1 on the ricter scale when these trains go by even though i am 2km away from the track lol

I used to work on an opencast coal site. We had a couple of drag lines working there and the engines sounded like locomotives..I think they were
