GE Locomotive Startup Part 1! 

Well they are attractive, but the bagger 288 is, well just Google it

@@freddypedraza2066 Yes indeed!

Airplanes are more powerful and ships too, trains come 3rd through

@@benjaminmenken5693 buddy it says LAND vehicle

@@benjaminmenken5693Top fuel dragsters gotta be in there somewhere. Making 10,000+ hp from a relatively small engine in comparison to the others. Not apples to apples though, but interesting to compare nonetheless.

Sorry that happened to you. Don't let them get to you. I only speak to Brad Noble via email when I'm ordering a gift, to get a tracking number for my product. He's been a nice guy so far. I really think you should reconsider, it is a great project. Your donation, no matter how big or small, makes all the difference! Lots of people have already donated money and special steam locomotive parts, and it has really helped move the project along. :)

You're not even close on the horse power, 4400 or less. You're also wrong on speed, no freight train in the US goes 80. Your facts are waaaay off.

TeamGlockAustria Actually some can have up to 5500hp like the SD80MAC and on long flat stretches of track freight trains will do 70, maybe 75mph dependeng on traction motor gearing; so he's not really too far off. Some rail companies derate/detune locomotive engines to extend engine life, so I'd imagine some may do the opposite if they are regularly used for pulling coal trains over mountains.

Get an engineer card then come talk. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. This video isn't about 80macs you asshat.

TeamGlockAustria Haha, I work in a locomotive shop man. But what better way to garner respect than to call names, no one's ever tried that before. We load box locomotives following all engine repairs. That means running in N8 for 15min and dissipating power through the resistor grids. You can get a live readout of HP and I've seen 4000HP AND 4400HP on the same model. This information is readily available online, why don't you go read rather than post misinformation and insult people?

Misinformation? Show me one Gevo putting out 7,000 HP or going 80mph anywhere. Over speed indicator maybe? Of course you would know that. I run these every single day so I'm pretty aware of horsepower and speed even allowed in the US. Nice try dude.

To warn people?... (They do have moving parts, you know ...)

Spirex valve, ejects moisture from the air system

+formidable38 Elaborate please.

When you compress air it contains moisture which messes up valves and can cause brake failure in cold weather as it freezes up the valves in the brake system. That noise you hear is the spirax valve ejecting the moisture from the air system keeping the air 'dry'. Its also sometimes called an air dryer.

+formidable38 Ok because it sounds like its making that sound several times per minute. Where are the release valves located?

+formidable38 Actually its hissing several times per second.

I believe it is a Start Alarm. And if I know correctly it sounds in the engine compartment to warn anyone of the starting engine but I don’t know it that is it

ive already heard what an sd40-45 sounds like i was just saying these's modern locos are so quiet compared

Waaaayy better

It's an ES44C4.

pic thanks

Yes, the same General Electric that made your alarm clock and washing machine. General Electric makes diesel locomotives, and this is their famous SD-40

@@dumdum7786 Not an SD40

SD40 is from Electric Motive Diesel. This is a AC6000CW i think

Sd40 is made by a different company

This is an ES44C4 read the description
