#12 is definitely an ex MEC unit. They're the only railroad I know of that carved a notch into the cab for the horn, and also with the xenon strobe light mounting pads. Only thing that seems to be missing is the bell over the engineer's window.
Hi Dave here I am starting to look into modeling O scale I like the looks of GP 7 GP9 and SD 9 I am going to model a freight yard do those engines I listed work in yards? like your Videos Dave
New York Central and Pennsy liked the run long hood forward as well under the premise of collision protection. By the Penn Central days, the emphasis had switched to long hood trailing and visibility (as well as one could expect with the high nose power).
very cool video havent seen to many taken from this angle nothing sounds better than a couple of geeps notching up from a stop i wonder if these units have ever been to the lincoln maine area if so iv'e probably seen them 13 years ago
Fantastic video. Great sound...Thanks.. A question : What is this there are on the exhaust ???... Is it a silencer ???... 5 stars... Do you have more of this fantastic GM exhaust videos ???...
I know that some of the fans on top a loco are for cooling the electric braking elements. Where is the radiator on the engine. Surely the engine is water cooled, right?
Rumors, and actually happened once. You can NOT park a 567 under an underpass for too long, the hot exhaust will melt the structure on the bottom, which soon a few years later, which cause a huge accident, with bridge collasping.
Saved this vid, thx. I like old jointed rail that still earns revenue, and motors too, 2 & 4 cycle, first, & second gen.
Great audio quality!
567 engines, sound so sweet!
Perfect sounds of a railroad.... and those EMD's...... The Song of the Sirens...
Love that sound of a Roots-blown 567!
72 has a dropped valve. you can hear it choofing
Yea sounds like a steamer
A problem with a Guilford unit? No way
I was gonna say... somebody has a stuck or burnt valve...
the geeps always seemed to have Blue smoke
Excellent catch. 👍 I have a couple videos on my channel where I caught 2 GP38s from the roof of a building. Thanks for sharing
E. Deerfield is nice. It's a small Class 2 yard, with a bridge for viewing. I think it's CSX now (in 2024).
Is this the same bridge they
rammed a bunch of car carriers under and can-openered the tops of like 6 cars?
Love these old videos.

ha nice music to my ears, i would mind importing a few of them to Portugal. Maybe some time later on in my life.
wow 2003 and those two oldsters are out working together, real cool catch
Love to be standing on that bridge with those fumes pouring out.
#72 had a failed exhaust valve. That's what the chuffing was about.
#72 is now at North Conway Scenic railway

I think they are spark arrestors on the exhaust. More GM exhaust videos, hell yes!!!! Many many check them out & I will send you some!!
Thanks!
People STILL can't tell which way is the front for the GP9...
*THE LONG SIDE IS THE FRONT!*
New York Central and Pennsy liked the run long hood forward as well under the premise of collision protection. By the Penn Central days, the emphasis had switched to long hood trailing and visibility (as well as one could expect with the high nose power).
Like what the guy above me said, literally everyone but NYC and Pennsy ran them short hood forward
depends which side of the cab engineer's control stand was oriented.
OH THIS IS 'SWEET'!
Bathed in Geep Exhaust!! Great!!
I love those button fans!
ÉSSA IMAGEM DE SIMA DA LOCOMOTIVA FICOU BEM LEGAL!
Nice.

i have a question. i saw a boston and maine in this paint, was it an ex unit? also it was a cp leasing unit.
Fantastic video. Great sound...Thanks..
A question : What is this there are on the exhaust ???... Is it a silencer ???...
5 stars... Do you have more of this fantastic GM exhaust videos ???...
Those are spark arrestors. American locomotives didn't have silencers until fairly recently and at most had baffled exhaust manifolds.
Nice !
I know that some of the fans on top a loco are for cooling the electric braking elements. Where is the radiator on the engine. Surely the engine is water cooled, right?
They are water cooled yes. 1st gen diesels split the radiator between the front and rear, the central fan cools the dynamic braking resistor grids.
@@Maine_Railfan American diesels have never been air cooled
i live mass i live there in amherst and i have been there
and the #12 was scrapped earlier this year I heard,
Sounds like 72, has a dead injector, cylinder.
Sounds like a bad exhaust valve to me.
2003

Klaxon Signalling Innovations Wow. Sounds like the exhaust contains a lot of unburnt fuel. I wonder why.
No, if the exhaust had a lot of unburnt fuel the loco would be making clouds of black smoke ...
old wives tale.
EX MEC GP-7 #592.
2:00 is that a steam engine
Might have sounded ok but looked awful. Sad way to end their service with that company. What a disgrace... Nothing nice about ST GTI GRS PAR etc...
