Combined Turbo Supercharger? 2-Stroke EMD Ship Engine 

There is NOTHING like the sound of a turbo EMD going in and out of gear and the change in pitch of the exhaust note. Doesn’t matter how many times you hear it, it never gets old.

correction i use to disassemble those turbocharger working at GE Engine System in upstate NY state, the gear in the middle is a DAMPENER GEAR to absorb the angular transient inertia, between the cam gears and the turbocharger input gear, the overrunning clutch is INSIDE the turbocharger unit if you spin the compressor wheel you'll see that the turbocharger INPUT gear that mess with the DAMPENER will spin in one direction BUT NOT in the other direction, by the way those turbo can spin up to above 17000 RPM .Yep it isn't pretty when one of those blows up on the test cell !

I worked as a second engineer for Moran Towing on sea going tugs out of New York in the late 80’s. A truly sweet sound. I still recognize the sound when a locomotive passes with EMD’s. 😊

Probably my favorite fact about these EMD engines. I am glad somebody made a video. Thanks for uploading!

The turbo clutch is driven by the idler gear, turbo clutch drives the left cam gear which drives the right cam gear.

These engines are absolute works of art that can take a beating and keep on swinging, and even if they do break, they are so modular they are much easier to repair! Just a shame they're being run out by junk science.

Nice I love mtu Detroit diesel

Hi I'm planning to do a redo of my RU-vid video of the GP20, I need footage of a turbo EMD prime mover, would it be ok if I used part of this footage?

Is it mechanical or electronic controlled clutch?

Locomotive prime mover and generator set also

Its weird hearing two stroke And then cam gear
