1950s EMD V16 2 stroke roots Blown Diesel best Engine sound on YouTube?

The 645 was an incredible engine series here in the states and I'm finding out the world. Unbelievable really how many countries used this engine series from EMD in locos and I've never seen anyone from those countries write anything bad about them. Everyone loves them. They pulled their guts out for you. I worked on many freight trains here in the states that used them and I used to have to go back on running trains and restart them. That was fun. Wouldn't trade those experiences for the world. They were getting long in the tooth when I worked on them during the 70's and 80's but they were still very loud and very smokey.

You are one of the lucky ones who get to play trains even though you are a adult. It's not just a kids thing

Two great things, Australian landscapes and old diesel trains.

Late at night between 10pm and 1am a train bearing the older Supercharged EMD V16 (perhaps multiple) powers through my hometown at full song every night. Thought the end of the world was coming the first few times I heard it. Awesome sound.

A little FYI. That 645 in EMD V16 - 645E indicates 645 cubic inch displacement per cylinder or 10.57 liter displacement per cylinder. Total displacement of the V16 engine is 10,320 cubic inches or 169.11 liters.

It's incredible how our vintage diesels remain in service to this day while America's doesn't.

There is something so special about the sound of an EMD engine working hard, thanks for this video

It not only sounds great, it's a handsome brute.

EMD❤...truly remarkable engineering. Worked on marine versions lots. A sound one can never get enough of... Especially with transport legs in offshore campaigns.... days of steaming with continuous EMD's working in heavy seas...

Love that EMD bulldog snout and the 567 chant.

Old bangers never die they just keep on rolling along

I have to admit that I prefer the sound of a Mack EM9 and to some degree the old DD 8V71, But then I grew up working on and driving old Superliners. But This is an AWESOME bit of kit and I do love so see trains in action.

Nothing like these old EMDs and their amazing Detroit Diesel 2 strokes!

THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST YOU TUBE UPLOADS. I LOVE THESE OLD TRAINS. THEY SOUND REALLY TUFF. EXTREME BRUTE POWER. NOTHING IS TOUGHER THAN THESE ENGINES. THESE TRAINS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED TO LAST FOREVER. SUPER TUFF!

aussie - i love your videos. i grew up feet from chicago northwestern railway in 1970s in suburbs in chicago. your vids remind me of being a tiny kid. thanks! i think the locos back then were emd , which look similar to the locos in your vids. cheers sir! the sound i can remember in my crib. :)

The rocker arm assemblies reminded me of HR Geiger and the Alien films. Very well done! 😊

Another great video, and the older EMD's sure do give an awesome sound. We really are quite lucky that we have so many older locos still around, well for the time being.

Love the film!! A little story to tell you. Back in early 1976 we at Korong Vale had our first X class come up here. Before then it was the occasional B class but alot of Yclass and Tclass locos.

This scenery has such a Texas vibe to it, it feels like it was recorded in my backyard.

You should see one come in town at night in fog with that figure 8 ish headlight!
