GE Sound Compilation Volume 3! - Throttle Ups, Notch 8, Revs and Engine Issues! [OC] 

Evil power for ya. 😤💯

Thank you! I enjoyed making it.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

I've heard it said that a late-model steam engine struggling up a grade sounds like artillery. Unfortunately no one has the stones to let one do real work anymore so they just lope along with light loads and helpers. But I read about a time in, I think 1991, when they turned the diesel off and let SP&S 700 go full throttle, full cutoff down to 12mph. A photographer described the exhaust note as "gunshots" and "like a cracking whip". Would have been awesome to see and hear.

@@JETZcorp This... What this would have been like to experience... Like nothing else, simply because it's not necessarily combustion we are hearing, but highly pressurized steam instead... That in itself is unique. And I feel you on the helpers, it's always dissapointed me seeing, say, Big Boy 4014 pulling up yet there's an EMD SD-70 bringing up the rear or something...

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, those would of been beastly units with working HDL engines. I heard some CSX AC6000s were given 6000HP GEVO 16 engines, but retired not long after.

@@EdmontonRails Yeah, sad! :( Look up the Chinese Railways HXN5 ... that one has the GEVO 16 engine. It sure sounds like a GEVO!!! You can also look on Chinese video sites, like bilibili www(DOT)bilibili(DOT)com/video/BV174411m7ER

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
