- This was taken on September 7, 2019. This was the day I chased NS 192 between Columbia and Rock Hill. Link down below.
• 1080p60: Chasing NS 19...
My friend, Josh Nance, was at the controls of NS 192, so I chased him from Columbia to Rock Hill. While NS 192 was working Rock Hill, the second unit was shut off, possibly to save fuel, as well as wear and tear. While NS 192 was working Rock Hill, Bert ( / @edgemoorrailfan3608 ) and I went to McDonald's to get a bite to eat. After NS 192 worked Rock Hill, Josh went to the second unit to fire it up. After NS 192 left Rock Hill, I attempted another shot at Pineville, but missed him as I got there, so I headed home. Sit back, relax, and listen the beautiful sound of that 2-stroke EMD 710 prime mover coming to life! Enjoy! Feel free to rate, comment and subscribe!

*Skip to 1:45 if you get bored.
2:05 when that glorious low frequency pulse resonates in your soul you know it's an EMD 2-stroke prime mover.
Nothing better than hearing the lovely sound of that giant. I remember watching an SD70ACe start up and it was nothing but music to my ears.
I hear ya!
I love it!! I wish my wife could make that sound!!!! I would never look at another woman ever again 😁😁😁😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The SD70ACe is the end of an era. Hopefully EMD will be able to manufacture them for a little while longer with that EPA tier-4 credit program. The 710 will be sorely missed.
Yeah, but they'll still be around for a good number of years to come! That is if the railroads will take good care of them.
@@RailfanDaniel1997 EMD’s last an incredibly long time (unlike junk GE’s). They aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The new SD70ACe-T4 with the help of Progress Rail and Caterpillar passed Teir-4 Emissions testing back in 2017 and are in production now. The new V-12 1010 engine sounds just as sweet. Seen UP running a few on Cajon Pass already.
@@SternLXI think they sound like a vacuum cleaner.
Caterpillar is the parent company to Electro Motive Division and owns Progress Rail.
The SD70ACE-T4's use the Caterpillar 1010J's which were solely based on EMD 265H's which were their biggest mistake at making a four stroke prime mover.Caterpillar basically did what EMD failed to do during their last run of locomotives.The SD90MAC's and SD90MACH's suffering from fractured frames,broken mounts,and damaged crankshafts due to aggressive internal vibration,all because of zero harmonic balancing.Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific both discontinued them immediately and went with the SD9043MAC's that came afterwards.
Norfolk Southern rebuilt some of them and sent them elsewhere.The 265H's were extensively improved later on but only saw actual service overseas in China and Asia.
The SD70ACE-T4's unfortunately didn't sell all that great due to computer system issues at first,and problems correlated to electronic injection.
The SD70ACE's will still be around for a long time though.
Great deep bass with that high-pitched turbo whistle in the background. Amazing, love these engines. Thanks for capturing this start-up
Thank you!
Nothing sounds like a 710 series EMD.
Love that sound....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the sound of a V-12 Merlin and any EMD.
I'll take any EMD any day! GE's, too, but I love the roar of an EMD!
Class 66 is a emd in my country
Especially the non-turbo’d 567. Those supposedly *Chant,* though I think they sound like a cranked up steam engine.
Wow.
It screamed when it started.
It loves it!
It sure did! That's a typical 2-stroke engine for ya!
EMD sure has a way of making sexy locomotives from day one.hope they discover a new zero emissions prime mover someday
I always thought the SD40-2 was sexy. Then came the SD70ACe. Boing!
agreed i also love the SD45T-2@@woods840
Listen to this wearing Skullcandy Crusher headphones, with bass setting about halfway. Vibrates your head the way the EMD vibrates the body at that distance. Almost like being there
It's worth it! Isn't it?
These Train videos sound amazing on my huge Dolby Atmos system.
Air starter. They spin the engine over a whole lot quicker than electric start, that’s why they fire up so quick. Where I live in Australia BHP are running around 180 x SD70ACes, they went off GE forever when they bought 8 x AC6000CWs and they were so unreliable they scrapped them all..
The EMD units run cooler. GE units tend to heat up easier, and the specialized GE units to combat that problem cost more, so buying stock ACE's makes sense.
As for the 6000CWs being junk, didn't they set a world record for longest and heaviest consist ever with those?
Emd 710 is the best prime mover there is ,pure symphony 😊
Hey - that's my buddy Joshua Nance at 2:28!!! (he's my grappling partner - one tough dude.)
I'm great friends with him as well! I chased him on 192 that day. The link to that video is in the description.
EMD 710...4,000 HP of pure power.
Yup!
And you have that beautiful SD60E right behind you, too.
Yup!
Bruit de moteur juste magnifique, 🔊👍dommage que ces SD70ACe il n y en ai pas en France, ni en Alsace du nord😢
Good sound slow engine...
Good music on my hears😀😊🔊
Nice video! Thanks!
Love those EMD locomotives!!!
aww cool I saw this engine few months ago leading NS 203 thru Shenandoah Junction on the Hagerstown District
"sounds good doesn't it?" hell yes it does!
Hello Eastern Railfan Footage:
Nothing sounds sweeter than 710's!!!
2:27
I quite agree!
The SD70ACe is a gorgeous locomotive, easily my favourite.
Yeah, but they're very noisy when you ride in them. The horn will also make you want to scream, even when you're wearing ear plugs! 🤣
1:52. And that’s where the magic happens.
Love that sound
Absolutely!
1:51 engage warp drive
Yup. She sounds good, too! Doesn't she?
Sounds awesome!
Yes, siree, Nicholas!
Those SD70ACE’s are awesome locos. One question I have is that on cold start they seem to go straight to quite high rpm. Is there a reason for that?
Nice video and start up sequence, I have subscribed.
Thanks! I returned the favor!
Now that's an engine start up.
Yes, indeed!
Trained to sound musical!!! Amazing video
Much appreciated!
Imagine how that Engine would sound with straight pipes like Flow Masters.... A Train Engine with Flow-Master Mufflers....
I've never heard of that.
The sound is look like UK Class 66
Sound like class 66 lokomotives in Europe.
Great!!!
I have work friend whose son’s friend was a NS locomotive engineer that got a one year suspension. This suspension was he let let the locomotive touch a banner. I have asked what does this mean and a one year suspension seems a bit harsh.
Banners are suprises put out by road foremans to test the crews it's kinda a rules trap to see if the crew is paying attention etc. If you touch the banner it's the equivalent of hitting something on the tracks. He's lucky he just got suspended and not fired
Sounds great man looks great too. Congratulations on 1000 views!!!
Much appreciated, Mike!
@@RailfanDaniel1997 your welcome buddy 😎
Nice!
purring like a kitten
Yeah, man!
Great video, cool crew too
Much appreciated! Josh is an awesome guy. Great friend of mine.
@@RailfanDaniel1997 anytime seems like a great guy
I have a similar one like this on my Penn Central playlist but it's THE Penn Central, same exact sequence
Nice!
Great video
Much appreciated, Jonah!
when did it happen? respond with timestamp please
very cool.
Yes, siree! There's nothing like an EMD firing up!
WHAT is it about that sound? Audio Bliss
Is that Ringo Starr?
Air crank?
How come you don't hear the air compressor like you do on a GE machine? Different set up or design?
Possibly a different setup or design. I think EMD's actually use the prime mover to pump air.
Listen with headphones
Ohh, yeah! Even better!
I’ve always loved EMD over GE. I live in Oklahoma we are BNSF territory about 50 trains a day where I’m at. The SD70ACE is rare here. when I see one I always like to admire it and take in the sound of them in Idle cus the chance of seeing another one is slim as BNSF is more and more becoming GE.
@@ProBenzy I do know there are train crews that are not fans of the ACe's.
Mo powah babeh
Ohh, yeah!
sounds like he was offering you a lift..before the edit (end)
He wasn't.
@@RailfanDaniel1997 oh'
Why EMD prefer 2 stroke engine than 4 stroke engine?
1:51
Sounds like an air starter which engages the turbocharger for the loud shrieking sound. Funny how NS
rebuilt the spartan cab SD60s but scrapped the ex Conrail wide cab ones. Could never figure this railroad out. They still have clearly the most boring paint scheme of all the major railroads.
They were originally planning on rebuilding their SD60I's and SD60M's, but NS canceled it and sold them off just to save a buck for the shareholders.
"The most boring paint scheme of all the major railroads?" I wanted to say "how about CSX", but just realized NS only have 2 colors, black and white. This remind me of a gag about pandas, they always dream of having a colored picture about them. lol
I thought BNSF has a boring paint scheme and Union Pacific pre wings and flags.
Horsepower?
ACe - 4300 HP
SD60E - 4000 HP
The Other Side Rarity MLP EQG
I don't think I understand what you're saying.
