EMD 16-567E4 T  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The 567 prime mover is a line of medium-speed diesel engines manufactured by GM Electro-Motive Division. They were used in many EMD locomotives from 1938-1966 when it was replaced by the EMD 645. The 567 proved to be exceptionally successful in passenger, switching, freight, marine and stationary services. The 16 cylinder 567E4 variation was used in the following...

EMD 16-645E3B LATE EXH T Ed2  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The EMD 645 series engine was an evolution of the earlier 567 series and a precursor to the later 710 series. When the 645 prime mover entered production in 1965, a large series of new locomotive models were introduced. The turbocharged version was used in EMD's 40 Series (GP40, SD40 and SD45) in 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kW), sixteen-cylinder form and in 3,600 horsepower (2,700 kW), twenty-cylinder form. EMD also introduced the Roots-blown 38 Series (GP38, SD38) and turbocharged, twelve-cylinder more…

GM Dual Motor Doodlebug  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

Recorded from: Madeline WGN St. Louis Car Company Doodlebug

Doodlebug is a nickname in the United States for a type of self-propelled railcar most commonly configured to carry both passengers and freight, often dedicated baggage, mail or express, as in a combine. The name is said to have derived from the perceived insect-like appearance of the units, as well as the slow speeds at which they would doddle or "doodle" down the tracks. Early models were usually powered by a gasoline engine, with more…

EMD 12-645E3B T  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The EMD GP39 is a 4-axle diesel locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1969 and 1970. 23 examples of this locomotive were built for American railroads. Twenty of the original 23 were built for the Chesapeake & Ohio, while the other buyers were Kennecott Copper (2) and Atlanta & St. Andrews Bay (1). The power for this locomotive was provided by a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3B diesel engine, which could produce 2,300 horsepower.

EMD 16-645D3A T  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

Between 1981 and 1983 Chessie rebuilt 67 EMD GP30 locomotives.
These were B&O and C&O GP30 units that went through Chessie's rebuilding program at both the Huntington and Cumberland shops. After rebuilding Chessie did not renumber the units, but CSX decided to give them their own number series once they took ownership.

GP-30Ms were internally rewired with some modular components similar to Dash 2 units. They also recieved new IDAC wheel slip control, D77 traction motors, and cab heaters. The more…

EMD 20-710G3B LATE EXH T Ed2  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The SD80MAC is a 5000 horsepower C-C diesel-electric locomotive. The SD80MAC uses a 20 cylinder version of EMD's 710G prime mover,formally known as the V-20 710G3B-ES and is the first diesel locomotive to use a 20-cylinder engine since the SD45/SD45-2. The SD80MAC introduced a wide radiator housing similar to GE locomotives and the placement of dynamic brakes at the rear of the locomotive. Key spotting difference between the SD80MAC and SD90MAC include: no external rear sandbox on the 90MAC, more…

EMD 16-645F3B LATE EXH T Ed2  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The GP50 was produced in response to increasingly tough competition from GE Transportation Systems, whose Dash 7 line was proving quite successful with railroads. While EMD's SD40-2 was a reliable and trusted product, GE's line included locomotives up to 3,600 hp (2,685 kW) with more modern technology, as well as very competitive finance and maintenance deals. EMD responded throughout the SD50 program by offering discounts on large orders.

GM-EMD had previously produced 3,600 hp (2,685 kW) more…

EMD 8-710G3A-T2 LATE EXH T  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The EMD GP22ECO is a 2,150 hp (1,600 kW) B-B road switcher diesel-electric locomotive rebuilt by Electro-Motive Diesel and Norfolk Southern's Juniata Shops. Initially EMD built two GP22ECO demonstrators, one based on a GP9 and one based on a GP40,[1] but thus far all orders have been for conversions based on EMD GP40 and EMD GP40-2 series locomotives. The rebuild involves replacing the existing prime mover with an EPA Tier-II-compliant turbocharged V8 710G3A, with Electronic fuel injection. The more…

EMD 16-710G3C LATE EXH T Ed2  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The EMD 710 is a line of diesel engines built by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD). Introduced in 1985, the 710 series replaced the earlier EMD 645 series. Since its introduction, EMD has continually upgraded the 710G diesel engine. Power output has increased from 3,800 horsepower on 1985's 16-710G3A to 4,500 horsepower on 2012's 16-710G3C-T2. Over the production span of certain locomotive models, upgraded engine models have been fitted when these became available. For example, an early 1994-built more…

BN Rebuilt both GP35 and GP30 locomotives into GP39Vs during a major rebuild series. Many of these locomotives were rebuilt involving both MK and VMV. The GP39V retained it's 567 prime mover and turbos but was fitted with 645 Power assemblies. The electrical systems were also upgraded to Dash-2 standards. This was considered a successful program and many are still in use today by BNSF and a few shortlines.
