While at Hoboken terminal a few months ago I was trying to do a panoramic shot of the train sheds from one of the middle platforms. While waiting there and setting up i noticed how loud it gets outside and hella loud inside from the trains idling. It wasn't till i was leaving that i started to notice that the overall engine speed at idle seemed kinda high on most of the gp/f40's that were in the sheds. Im not talking about the hep motor as that has a small exhaust and different tone to it.
Now when i goto the local spot to view NYSW i've seen there gp40-2 that they have at idle and it was nowhere near as loud or as high in engine speed at idle.
What are the main differences, not taking into account body shapes or HEP. Unless hep power is derived from the engine itself.
