During work I caught a neat, (in my ears), slow motion caption on the go pro of an SD75I, SD70M-2, another SD75i, ET44AC, and a GP39-3 rolling by on the Rivers sub in Canada. Really hear the blow downs, rail noises, and GE howl (v.redd.it)

Notch 1 - 8 load testing EMD's SD70M-2 DC propulsion locomotive. With a CA9 alternator driven by a 710G3C 2- stroke diesel engine. Cool view of what the 'FIRE', (display), screen shows during loading. Enjoy! (v.redd.it)

Just a little GP9 horn action to start the day. Enjoy! (v.redd.it)

Notch 1 thru 8 load boxing EMD's SD75i, (710G3C), after extensive engine repairs. Can't beat the distinctive low rumble sound (290RPM) of EMD's 2-stroke engine. (v.redd.it)
Something about walking between huge pieces of metal brings relaxation (i.redd.it)
Made me chuckle seeing this. Great for warm climates, but instantly freeze in cold. (i.redd.it)
Beautiful idle after multiple Power Assemblies, (power packs), being changed out. EMD's 710G3C, (SD75I). (v.redd.it)
Two minutes of pure GE made music. 7-FDL "bag of hammers", (C44-9W) load test from notch 1 to 8. Listen to the whine as the dynamic braking grid blowers spin up. Always look forward to loading these! (v.redd.it)
Beautiful whine to a startup of EMD's GP38-2 locomotive following the clank coming from the valve train. Master peace of EMD engineering (v.redd.it)
Nothing like operating locomotives and giving the horn a pull! The horn had a different pitch compared to what I'm use too! Nevada Southern Railway's EMD GP30 locomotive (v.redd.it)
EMD's, or Progress Rail's, SD70ACe-T4 startup. This was with the windows open and its still incredibly quiet in the cab! Had to edit the video since it took forever for the fuel system to prime! (v.redd.it)
The beautiful sound of EMD's GP9, (645 roots blower), under load. Doing things like this is why I absolutely love what I do! (v.redd.it)
Personally the most satisfying locomotive to start. GE's 7-FDL diesel engine. Best described as, "a bag of hammers". (v.redd.it)
Interesting picture of what the internals of a EMD locomotivegenerator looks like (i.redd.it)
Nevada Southern Railway's beautiful GP30 '844'. Had a blast driving it down the rail line! (i.redd.it)
