Agreed and the old emds are the hot rods of the rails especially the old 567s they sound like big block chevys nothing like a demonic locomotive growl be it GE or GM
They sure are, everything from the U-boats to the first generation GEVOs. Sadly the Tier 4 units sound like vacuum cleaners. I think the retirement of the tier 3 units will be the end of nice sounding diesels.
Also, under heavy load, they sometimes have *Soot.* (which has a certain romantic aspect…. It’s like traveling in time, much as if the prime mover was *steamy.* ) While going over the hills to and from LA, I could sometimes see a slight pall of darkness as the locomotives pulled hard. That trip turned me into a train nut. I’ll never hear the trains coming in and out of the tunnel near home quite the same.
I love how the AC4400CWs sound just like Amtrak P42DC Genesis locomotives. In fact, I actually drive the searchlight simulations AC4400CW in Train Simulator 2020.
@@SvenTSchixe that’s a very good question. HEP is short for head end power. Basically all passenger locomotives have an onboard generator to provide electricity for the passenger cars. Which would be from the main diesel engine or from a separate generator on the locomotive
Agreed. In my opinion, this is some of the best use of natural lighting I’ve ever seen for twilight/night railroad videos. Plus, the superb sound of fluttering locomotive throttle resonance produced by the sound deflection-echo with trackside industrial buildings. Outstanding.
Does anyone happen to know why the GEVO exhaust note bites harder than the 7FDL? it's way more aggressive compared to the FDL... edit: my hypothesis here is that perhaps on the GEVO's, the system running the fuel injection and perhaps even maintaining the timing of the prime mover itself is more precise than in the AC44's, but that's based on very little knowledge on how these actually work at an intricate level.
At the top of the ES44AC's exhaust stack there is a large metal plate covering ~70% of the opening. This creates a lot of reverberation within the exhaust system and more pressure at the opening, I believe that is the primary factor. The cylinders of the GEVO are also physically larger than the 7FDL, however the tier 4 GEVOs sound like neutered vacuum cleaners so it must come down to the exhaust system.
@@EdmontonRails Ah, interesting, I wonder if this is there to improve compression in the system.... potentially improves combustion completion within the exhaust? Thank you for such a quick, concise, and informative reply as well; that was refreshing
@@EdmontonRails no class 1 railroad cleans engines and the reason for fires and mechanical problems is they just put them out there then never fix them
@@EdmontonRails Ah ok, yes could heats the difference e.g. to those EMD 645 which do 16 strokes / turn = 4800 @ 300rp vs 2400 for the 4 strokes. Why a / when it‘s „with“? / looks like „or“ or some kind of relation. Confusing…
@@EdmontonRails Yeah, you feel thos sound waves on your chest. Also thanks to upload this video, I am really happy to hear those diesel engines and the motors and not those bloody crossing bells and horns.
I use this cool trick called searching for the video I want and watching the video I want, rather than complaining on a video that isn't advertised as what I wanted.

What Is The Best Sound For This Video
GE’s are the best sounding locomotives of the Railroad. The Harley Davidson’s of locomotives!
They sure are, nothing beats the first generation GEVOs
@@EdmontonRails Although you have got to admit a 710 spooling up is music to the ears
EMD 567 roots blown..
@@ctf6420 Yes EMD 710’s are the best sounding EMD engine run a close race with the GEVO’s in sound, but not quite.
Agreed and the old emds are the hot rods of the rails especially the old 567s they sound like big block chevys nothing like a demonic locomotive growl be it GE or GM
GE's, the muscle cars of the railroad.
They sure are, everything from the U-boats to the first generation GEVOs. Sadly the Tier 4 units sound like vacuum cleaners. I think the retirement of the tier 3 units will be the end of nice sounding diesels.
GE should just make one of their locos insanely loud just for the giggles
gah I LOVE the "bwoouuup" sound they make as they increase the throttle followed by that amazing chugging sensation
But what is that "bwoouup" sound?
@@SupraTompan I believe it is the motors spooling up after a throttle increase
@@kerorogunso961 It's the air compressor kicking in.
I love it Tooo
thats the radiator
WOW these deep bass sounds are great.
Thank you!
Great job! Love there is no crossing/horns too! Just throttled locomotives.
Love the bass rumble!!
theres nothing like the sound of that beast notching up, the heavier the pull the prettier she sounds
Also, under heavy load, they sometimes have *Soot.* (which has a certain romantic aspect…. It’s like traveling in time, much as if the prime mover was *steamy.* )

Ever since the movie unstoppable I've been in love with the AC4400 😂😂😂
I love that opening scene with the train passing with thunder and lightning in the background
I love how the AC4400CWs sound just like Amtrak P42DC Genesis locomotives. In fact, I actually drive the searchlight simulations AC4400CW in Train Simulator 2020.
Same prime mover
@@BNSFREVIVAL1 that makes sense
@@BNSFREVIVAL1 they are very similar except without the HEP equipment
@@metronorthrailfan2244what is HEP equipment?
@@SvenTSchixe that’s a very good question. HEP is short for head end power. Basically all passenger locomotives have an onboard generator to provide electricity for the passenger cars. Which would be from the main diesel engine or from a separate generator on the locomotive
Love that Chugging Sound ☺️
Kid of puts me to sleep... Quite soothing
Ahhhhhh...it is like music to my ears..I love these sounds...and I play it in the background when I am working...thx
Glad you enjoy it!
Great sound, a bit similiar to our german class 250 (Blue Tiger), which use the GE 7FDL12 engine!
Because these do aswell.
Great stuff! The big sound that your equipment faithfully reproduces makes your videos like really being there for the viewer!
Immersion is my goal when producing videos, glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful Roaring Sound Captured👌
Excellent Work👍
The sound of the power 👌
Nothing like that good old GE chug!
It's interesting how they put a F.R.E.D. on the end of that locomotive.
Yeah, it also seems to be a 50/50 whether the rear DPU gets one or not.
If you could get the sounds of an SD70M-2 Moving, That would be Incredible. I love the sound of the EMD 710 Prime Mover
In that case I have these catches for you ; czcams.com/video/WX-rtJFxAoM/video.html , czcams.com/video/JgFyUDJUbEI/video.html
MAN, this is AMAZING, it's like V8 CUDA of railroad
Glad you enjoyed it, I love shooting these up close.
That intro though.
I have one for my model railroad in N scale. All shiny in the box but I'll weather it using the one shown here as an inspiration.
These videos are awesome man I hope to see more in the future!
Great! Many thanks.
4:32 Canadian Pacific, Home of the pairing of old and NEW
Love that audio - the sound of pure energy!!
Those gevo are wicked!
Edmonton Rails Your Camera work is amazing! Really enjoyed the dark winter catches. Keep up the good work!

Gevo locomotive song 💯💪💪
Cool thanks mate
5:42; former CP Holiday Train power.
These are some of the best vids on ytube!!😀 That Sound!!!! Awesome.
Thank you!
There's a GE train on Train Sim World 3 it's the BNSF GE ES44C4 and it sounds quite good but I mostly drive the EMD SD40-2 and SD70ACe
Great video !
Thank you
@@EdmontonRails Your welcome !
8:34 ES44DC Hits the Gas Notch 8 style :)
AWESOME!!!😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈
00:20 can someone please tell me what this "Bwoooop" sound is? over a year as a conductor and I still have no idea what makes that satisfying sound
Air compressor starting. Thanks for watching!
@@EdmontonRails Really? damn they must start over and over cause I always hear them go off constantly. thanks for the info.
A special thanks to Edmonton rails, this is very near and dear to me, I work in the factory that builds these behemoth diesel engines.
Thank you, that's a sweet job.
My old @ss sounds like these when I wake up.
The sound of power 🇺🇲
Imagine setting up on top of a house with a big ol massive clanking DIESEL, half size of a bus 🤔🤔😝🤠😝✌️
Those low-light shots are insanely crisp, what type of camera do you use?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I use a Nikon D3300 with a 35mm F1.8 lens.
@@EdmontonRails Do you have your ISO at 100 or higher because I have the same lens on a D3500 and my videos end up having alot of noise.
8:30 BNSF GE ES44AC #7281 With Whoop Sound !!!
Hi, it's great video!!!
Btw can i use it to my trainz simulator engine sound? it's has good sound😁
Sure, just give credit to my channel.
@@EdmontonRails thanks!!
Can I use the locomotive audio as a sound effect for my Roblox game?
Engine two times?
What is making the "bwoot" sound at takeoff? 0:21

Is it only me, or are GE locomotives generally dirtier than their EMD counterparts?
Yeah, they suffer more internal fires and spill more oil. CP doesn't wash them much either.
@@EdmontonRails no class 1 railroad cleans engines and the reason for fires and mechanical problems is they just put them out there then never fix them
w/ … w or what?
Otherwise, sounds like some slower running 4-strokes, guessing V12
Hi, thanks for watching. W/ is with. The ES44ACs are 4 stroke V12s, the AC4400s are 4 stroke V16s. Both engines run between ~300 and ~950 RPM.
@@EdmontonRails Ah ok, yes could heats the difference e.g. to those EMD 645 which do 16 strokes / turn = 4800 @ 300rp vs 2400 for the 4 strokes.

GE :)
are thery Dash 8 or Dash 9
Earth shaking audio ? At ?
There is a noticeable rumble when you're standing next to these engines taking off.
