I was thonk this me too. 😂😂😂

12-567c

Some old locos like this have a transition lever for the traction motors and the engine has to be idled down before changing the lever. Kinda like a 4 speed manual in a way

@@TheBeeMan1994 Do you have a video clip of someone doing that from the cab?

​@@TheBeeMan1994Operator was being a tool. You wouldn't go through transition this fast.

it is a 2 stroke 12 cylinder diesel electric engine with electric motors made by GM, we have old machines still running in srilanka 1955 models. M2 d.

It is turbocharged tho

@@norwegiannationalist7678 the g12 has roots blower not a turbo charger

@@fedegonzalez4378 Both yes and no, 567 Had both Roots blowers and Turbochargers, The turbocharged version was much more popular in Norway and Sweden, As for this T42 locomotive i do belive it has a roots blower

It’s a Roots Blower, supercharger, not a turbocharger

Would limit the damage from all that thrashing, that's for sure!

8 locomotoras g12 mexicanas fueron reacondicionadas por la empresa nrec y compradas por la empresa ferroexpreso pampeano numeradas del 6637 al 6644 y utilizadas actualmente en la pampa argentina

Halfway correct. It was in service in Sweden for a few decades, and then when it was taken out of service, sold/donated to a Norwegian enthusiast group, who restored it, operated it in Norway for around 15 years until the Swedish railway museum bought it back. And the SJ class 41, which they bought quite a few of, was based on the G12, mechanically almost identical, just with a cabin more suitable for Sweden than the US style on the G12. So it was indeed what they looked for, just slightly redesigned. The swedes also built lots of the round-nose locomotives with the same EMD tech for Norway, Denmark, Hungary etc.

Alot*

This locomotive doesn't have a sound muffler/silencer. Or it may be something else.

That’s a G22AUR model. Yes rebuilt from the G12 but it does have its own model designation

we have the same thing in victoria, we call it the T class. edit: nevermind the T class is the G8

yes

what? a 5-foot gear stick would be needed.

Sounds like manual transition to me.

It's all electric. The Diesel engine is just generating electricity

Yes

Same here! I wonder too ??

@@MrMurrekatt maybe he was just showing off

Probably due to wheel slip or traction motor time limits at a specific current draw.

its a roots blower emd 567

Your right... it does.

The GP15's are the MP15 high hood equivalent. I don't know if EMD actually made a true MP15 high hood. Since EMD does make export locomotives i guess there had to be an equivalent unit with most of the mechanical components based on the MP15 but the body of the car is different. A great American example is the F40C is an SD40-2 with a wide body and slightly smaller fuel tank than most SD40-2's. About 15 wears ago i saw a locomotive under a blue tarp that was in transit in the railyard. The shipping paperwork taped to the engineer's rear cab door window said in part, "going to port (on the east coast) to country (cant remember) export model XXXX". I also remember the carbody was different and the trucks and other stuff from the walkway on down was slightly different but, it has a 710 series engine which makes it in my mind an SD70.

Not even close. The 12-645s do NOT thunder the same way. I know because I used to live minutes away from Morris Park Yard in Queens and sometimes would see a MP15AC in action. I even heard one just idling at Notch 8 for the longest time and it wasn't this bad...although loud

Emd Canada

Yes , but This locomotive has founded Nohab's diesel engine manufacturing start

whats so stupid about it

@@voidjavelin23 your diesel engine is throttle equiped?

@@qpeciarz1902 ermm every diesel electric has throttle levers
