Every GE Diesel Locomotive Reviewed in 10 Words 

Isn't 1:33 a steam engine?

​@@Mr._funny2006 Yes...

Ge e33

Do a every rr in 10 words

Cowl Unit Productions, I’m sorry, But I like the look of GE locomotives with Their Cab’s smaller than their hoods. Also, The GE C40-8M is a Good looking locomotive.

/Reading or LIRR LOL

5:54

I was thinking the same thing

After this it shall be baldwin.

@@okipullupon747sp what if the next video is every small diesel locomotive builders like the company that built the ingalls 4-s which was a one of a kind locomotive built by a small company

*no*

You forgot the cw60ac

I didn't know that! So, essentially, the ES44C4 and ET44C4 are express-freight versions of the ES44AC and ET44AC. In that way, the A1A-A1A arrangement makes perfect sense! Thanks for the information!

Do you know how ge can fix the wheel slipping problem? I’m guessing that weight restrictions are a main reason why they can’t just add more weight to increase grip. Maybe better traction control software?

@@Jeragon186 CSX has a version of the standard ES44AC and ET44AC called ES44AH and ET44AH. These versions have extra weight and software enhancements to improve tractive effort. In the case of the C4s, they already feature similar software for monitoring tractive effort per axle and while adding more weight would slightly improve adhesion, it still wouldn't be enough to overcome being down 2 traction motors! Both the ES44C4 and ET44C4 were originally designed for high speed intermodal service, not for hauling heavy tonnage unit and mixed freight trains. The only real true fix, is to turn the C4s into true 6 motor locomotives. This is probably one reason there's still a good number of Dash 9s and standard 6 motor gevos still hanging around and would also explain why the EMD P4 version never took off either and could also be the reason both the SD75M and SD70MAC have seen a bit of a resurgence as well!

@@randallellison6421 So more wheels = more adhesion is my understanding. What can be down with the ES44C4 keeping with the A1A concept?

@@Jeragon186 I mean, the only real fix, if we're talking keeping the C4s in their current configuration, and again, this is what I've heard from crews that I've talked to, is adding extra locomotives to these heavy trains. Ironically, most BNSF loaded coal trains here on the Thayer Subdivision operate with a total of 5 locomotives in either a 2×3 or 2×2×1 configuration with ES44AC, AC4400CW, SD70ACe and SD70MACs in charge and can stretch out between 7000-8000 feet in length. The MEMTUL (Memphis, Tennessee to Tulsa, Oklahoma) and MEMKCK (Memphis, Tennessee to Kansas City, Kansas) train often only operate with a total of 3 operable locomotives (any extra locomotives that appear on these trains are usually offline or "boxcared" units) in a 2×1 configuration. Crews have often told me that if they can get 1 to 2 extra locomotives operating on these trains they would be in far better shape or an even better solution is to simply shorten the trains to around 7000-7500 feet in length, basically knocking around 2000 to 2500 feet off of what BNSF tries to currently run with these particular trains which can get as long as 11,000 feet in length.

@@randallellison6421 Would this be the same for general manifest trains or even other types of bulk trains IE: grain?

Same

Indeed, they are adorable! Probably some of the cutest switchers I've heard of yet!

Because he, along with others believe that the battery is going be a flop.

Yeah, I now agree too. Infact I’m more supportive of replacing diesels with hydrogen locomotives and or Nationalizing the America class 1s(except KCS due to its upcoming Canadian Pacific merger) in order to get them to stop cutting corners over profits, and get them to electrify their network so EMD and GE can make electric locomotives for them to use instead of diesels.

Indeed! The Pepsi-Cans are a classic!

Holy sh- is so big XD

Wild guess but the would be a booster unit of the u33c , don't know much about it.

Thanks you were correct on the locomotive cause that locomotive was called Antaibao 3, one of three former Conrail (née Erie Lackawanna) U33C's after recently being rebuilt. These units were sold to Island Creek Coal and rebuilt from January to February 1987 for the Antaibao surface mine, a joint venture with the Chinese government.

Wait, steam locomotive?

@@MackeyBigBoy4014 1:33

They will be total flops 😭 they lose so much range when towing they shoulda just kept it in R/D

Wait i f-ed up it was 2:21 ,the u28cg

Indeed! Considering how many locomotives they've manufactured (from the MPxpress commuter-rail locomotives to the low-emissions switchers), I'd say they deserve a video!

Too bad we only have 20 of them left, most got scrapped for spare parts for the C30-M's

Pretty successfull inded that only BNSF who bought them in a amount of quantity

@@adillakandi.r well yes, because they were custom ordered BY bnsf. Just because something is successful doesn’t mean everyone has them. That being said, BNSF ordered about 200 or so of these, so it’s safe to say they found them successful. EMD even tried a similar concept afterwards in direct response, with the SD70ACE-P4.

ok cheese man

Not every RR needs big beefy tractive effort of 6 axles AC traction engines. That's one of the reasons why BNSF become the largest operator of ES/ET44C4 also SD70ACe-P4/T4. Simmilar performance characteristic compared to the older 6 axles DC traction engines with less component, and as a bonus the idling axle/trailing axle could be lifted so the load can be transferred to the powered axle which equals to better wheel to rail grip/contact.

@@ajidamarjati BNSF mostly use them to be a DPU on intermodal or others manifest train so that's the reason i think since intermodal didnt need a big traction to move
