Under a cobalt blue sky, we watch the crew switch cars with #1601, a GP9 on the ONR in Cochrane Ontario. The engineer has the old girl really talking, as he switch cars out in the yard. Thanks for watching. jackmp294.5

That's the sound of a real workhorse right there, she's working hard and letting everyone know about it.

When I was a kid, Penn Central ran a bunch of GP7's and GP9's on local freight and switching on the industrial branch that used to run through my home town. You could hear those Roots blowers echoing off the hills all over the place!

Ah yes the sound of the blower screaming as it kicks into full swing

@53bigmikejones 9 жыл бұрын

Geeps were work horses and LOVE hearing them rev up like that. I can remember back in the mid 60's the KCS used lots of them for local switching, day and night. From my room, could hear them whine as they pulled and pushed freight cars around during the night. Thanks for the memories.

@blickfang3751 5 жыл бұрын

For me, it was the geeps in proviso yard. Not only did we hear the whine, but the slamming of cars and the squeal of the retarders on the hump

I grew up at (what is likely) the origin point of many of those boxcars. CN owned the line to Cochrane, at the time. They had 2-3 GP9s pull the train and do the switching outside the paper mill. Ah that sound... 🙂

@@daveyboy_I went on to become a class one engineer before these were retired. Once a road freight lost one of its three SD40s. They sent me in relief service to rescue it with light power. The rescue units were a pair of GP9s. The train stopped on the single iron, so I had to couple onto the front of the consist. I had one of my best buddies, Uncle Si (he looks like Si Robertson). We ran down the main at track speed with those two 567s singing away. It was something to behold!

That is a "Torpedo" GP9. They put larger fuel tanks on it when built so they moved the air tanks up on top. Hence the nickname.

@1575murray 6 жыл бұрын

Many of the "torpedo geeps" were built for passenger use where more fuel and water capacity were needed. However some of them were also built for freight use without steam generators.

@perth.railfan1522 4 жыл бұрын

Yes these Ontario Northland GP's. All in the 1600 series had the torpedo tubes on top, and winterized fan covers.

@GP9railfan 3 жыл бұрын

They also put the tanks on top to keep the air system from icing up. The heat from the exhaust and prime mover kept things happy. Also it allowed them to have a bigger fuel tank capacity for longer run periods.

The GP7 was built first, with the GP9 being an improved GP7. That was followed by the GP18, then the GP20 with a turbo charged 567. Thanks for watching...

No, the GP7 and GP9 are both naturally aspirated -- at least in the sense that EMD uses the term. They're supercharged, with Roots blowers. Turbocharged engines came later.
