As a certified EMD locomotive composite mechanic I can say that is NOT the turbo. That is in fact cooling fans running at full speed. That unit has two speed fans that can get extremely loud. I have self loaded and load boxed dozens of locomotives in my career and the all get very loud. The fans on the load box and those for engine cooling combine to make a very loud howling. It sounds the same whether they are turbo super charged or roots blown. This locomotive had the telltale turbo whistle that was barely audible over the sound of the fans. The final nail in this coffin is the fact that if a turbo bearing gets bad enough to make noise it is a low growl coupled with an extraordinary amount of smoke and oil that coats the entire locomotive. I have spent many hours washing that sludge off of turbo supercharger locomotives. If anyone cares to argue my terminology on the turbo, please by all means, look it up.
Made up job titles aside, this noise is absolutely not coming from cooling fans. The fans on SD70s are made to be particularly quiet, even at high speed. This is done to reduce noise pollution. The sound you hear is droning from a bad turbocharger, and any claim to the contrary is downright false. The pitch matches exactly with the designed turbo speed of 18500 RPM or so- or 300 hertz. You can hear this sound on some 645 engines, albeit with a slightly different sound. It is extremely loud, and much more so than the radiator fans. There's a video of some NE&CP power howling in this exact same way.
@@pootispiker2866 Come on over and have play with my toys. 645E3 V16 Every day! What a pompous tool you are! Look up the title before you speak! It means I do EVERYTHING maintenance wise on a locomotive. Few people have touched the number and variety of EMD that I have, let alone worked on them.
@@pootispiker2866 Your comment is precisely why the railfans get kicked off railroad property. I once had a couple of railfans argue with me that two of the locomotives in my care were GP35s. They were in fact Ex GM&O GP26s. They swore up and down that I didn’t know what I was talking about. So please save us on the railroad our sanity. Stop being a bunch of know it all armchair railroaders. I have twenty four years In and get a little tired of the crass ignorance.
@@ryandavis7593 Ahaha if that's your response to a mere counterargument then it's no wonder why conductors get an emergency brake valve. You cannot possibly be wrong, can you? :) I don't go on railroad property that isn't my local museum because I respect the fact that the big half-million-pound machines can very easily kill me without much trouble. So try on kick me off of someone else's land. Sure, I'll just move- it's part of the hobby anyway. I don't give two sh!ts what happened to you on a bad day at work. I genuinely don't. It's not relevant, either. If that's fan noise from the EMD then how did a GE make a nearly identical noise right before popping the turbo with a cloud of smoke from the exhaust? I don't know much about them but I'm fairly sure they don't share many cooling components with EMDs. There's a video on virtual railfan's channel. 'Elk on the big 10' or some such. Throw the word turbo in with the search terms and you should find it. That did happen. The video doesn't lie mate. An old geezer that insists that what they say is biblical fact? Well, that just might.
Hi there! We really like your video and would love to include it on our social networks. Would that be okay with you? We'll make sure to give you full credit
I had a cop Ram my back bumper when I was pulling out of my driveway and I was fined $400 for a scratch on the bumper ain't that about a b**** good thing those days are over with now and days everything is recorded and it's no longer my word against an officer's word it's his word against video footage
I don't know why the US doesn't have daytime running lights. Even if you forget to turn on the headlights at least there is some sort of light. Makes it easy to spot American cars in Canada lol
Before he hit this car it does have lights on. I don't know if he just turned them on but I watched it several times and there are lights on when it is hit.
Sorry! I have watched it many times and I must be seeing a glare from other cars or lights that make it look like he has very dim lights on. I know when he's driving before he gets there you cannot see any lights, so that must be it. I apologize and need new glasses I guess! Glad no one was seriously injured. @@eltonjohnfan100
I called TT News, and I also called the police department to attempt to submit this as evidence that the police officer was not at fault… the first car had their lights on but the vehicle he struck the Subaru didn’t have their lights on at almost 8:06 PM when sunset was about 7:38 PM.
@@bobbyd6680 No way was the cop found at fault for too many reasons. 1. Cops will always find a reason another cop is not at fault. 2. In this case, it's a good reason. Even if he wasn't a cop he would not be found at fault, as long as it is determined the other car didn't have their lights on. 3. This happens 3 days ago. It will take weeks maybe months for the final report to be finished.
when your one job is to drive around the city and protect people, who would find it hard to see a vehicle on a paved roadway? If he wasn't distracted by his phone or laptop, he would have had no problem. you just want to defend him because the blue line media made up your mind for you
@@FartInYourFace234 Yep. He still would have easily seen the approaching vehicle at those low speeds if he was paying attention. Nothing wrong with both bearing the blame.
@@bobbyd6680 I’m sure he has a good defense in court when the video shows the other other driver didn’t have their lights on. And Ohio law requires you have your headlights on between Sunset and sunrise. Or when visibility is less than 1000 feet or when you turn on your windshield wipers when it’s raining. Plus I don’t think they had the video showing the other driver didn’t have their lights on…. It I’m sure they’ll see it online. The police chief can use it as evidence to prove that he was not in the wrong.
Yes you can feature it! Just send me a link when you upload it! This happened on dibblee ave and Hague ave in Columbus Ohio. Chief called a 10-3 afterwards. He was checked out at the scene and everyone was okay. Both cars totaled.
