M-497 Experimental Jet Train (Dubbed Audio)

Project I took on in October 2020 to add sound to the classic footage of the M-497's test run near Bryan, OH in 1966. Contains mostly original recordings of mine (mostly rolling stock and sounds for the NYC Geep) but some audio is borrowed.

The thing I find absolutely wild is the fact that this thing safely performed the way it did at such speeds along all jointed rail.

The fact that they strapped a jet engine to the top of an RDC will never cease to be the funniest thing ever.

It was a great experimental train and it performed well given that the rail system wasn't designed for such speeds, sad it was scrapped

Know this area well. I've heard comments from former NYC/PC Engineers that this was a favored area to try and make up a little time when running late as they knew the track was good for higher speeds.

Sikorsky did the right thing by moving these engines inside the locomotive. That is why his train existed for a long time - from 1968 to 1982.

Not sure what you mean as it was an economical method to get data on high speed passenger equipment on convention trackage, was highly successful and provided much of parameters for development of the NE Corridor Metroliner fleet.

Cool! But a truly terrible idea.. any jet is bad for this, but they even used a turbojet, rather than a turbofan. The straight jet is especially inefficient at low altitude and low airspeed, and this was both. I see it reached 183 mph.. fast for a train, but slow for the jet. The specific fuel consumption for that was about 1 lb per hour per pound of thrust..each engine is about 6000 lb thrust, so about 6000 lb kerosene per hour per engine. X 2 = 12000 lb fuel per hour. So, in an hour, you'd travel 183 miles and burn over 1700 gallons of fuel. That is about 0.1 miles per gallon. The efficiency would be far worse at lower speeds, as turbines only become somewhat efficient (relatively speaking) at near maximum power, they are extra bad when run at low power. Truly a terrible idea. I would have loved to have been involved, though, looks like fun!
