      The EMD engines were originally designed and built by a company called Winton Engines. They were designated the W201A. GM bought the engines from Winton initially and decided that they were just what they wanted so they bought the company, then designed the first of the 567 series, basically a redesigned and improved 201A. GM also used a smaller version of this engine when they built the Detroit Diesel, for trucks and marine use. They were also an awesome engine.

      It is a uniflow scavenge engine. It has a charged airbox which surrounds the cylinders. Ports at the bottom of the cylinders are uncovered by the pistons as they go BDC, allowing charged air to come in and push the exhaust out through 4 open exhaust valves in the cylinder head.

    I ran Burlington Northern coal and freight for years. It was always a thrill to go back and fire-up an SD-40 or SD-45 after it had been shut down for whatever reason. Had the privilege of seeing a turbocharger failure on the third unit while on the lead unit. Glad I was at the head end at the time.
    We used to occasionally get those BN 6600-series "covered wagon" units on freight consists. There were times I had to walk back through those units while they were at full power. I found that to be rather "sexy" and frightening as hell at the same time. Must have been a lot like porking Pamila Anderson in the early days...........................

    I LOVE THIS! THIS IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST ENGINES EVER MADE. THERE IS NOTHING TOUGHER THAN THESE ENGINES. HEARING THIS ENGINE CRANK OVER SOUNDS SO TOUGH. ONE OF THE BEST UPLOADS ON YOU TUBE. BRUTE POWER. I HAVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES. I CAN LISTEN TO THIS ENGINE IDLE ALL DAY.

      4 strokes are throw away junk, they suck in cars/trucks too. i would never buy one of these 4 joke outboards either.

    sounds very much like an angry version of our class 66 EMD here in the uk :)

    • @digitalrailroader
      @digitalrailroader Před 7 lety +3

      your Class 66 EMDs have the successor of the EMD 645 (which is what this engine is), which is the EMD 710.

      Why would you? Different systems, different needs, different countries, why compare? You might 'make fun', of us, but like almost everything else you use or have used on a 'railroad' including steam traction, it was invented and pioneered right here bright boy.

      Why make fun of U.K./E.U. railroading? No, they don't use SD90/43MACs, or move 15,000 tons at a time? They don't need to.

    Love those EMDs worked on SeDco oil rigs for years. . Know every nut and bolt in these engines. So easy to work on .
