Date: 27 August 2007. Syrian
Date: 27 August 2007. Syrian Railways (CFS) Vorishilovgrad (USSR)-built diesel-electric LDE-2800 no. 412 departs an unidentified station east of Jisr-ash-Shughur with the 08:32 stopping train from Latakia (Al-Ladhiqiyah) to Aleppo (Halab). We had just crossed GE-engined classmate no. 707 with a westbound train.
The loco is a TE114S, first cousin of the TE109 "Ludmillas" built for the former East Germany, Bulgaria and other discerning Comecon railways! This is the same train and loco as in the other videos I've posted.
The faster services on this line are/were rather soulless (in fact rancid) new Korean DMUs. This loco, as can be heard, has the original Kolomna power unit, rated in a TE114 at 2,800 hp - although the sound that can be heard is largely the characteristic turbo scream, plus the generators, cooling fans and traction motors. Other CFS LDE2800s have been re-engined with General Electric units - which don't sound bad either, though!
I've uploaded this one primarily for the sound, which comes across reasonably well. I recorded it here because there was a gap in the front corridor connecting doors of the first coach, so I could get sound with less wind noise!
The video quality is not great - I made the mistake of recording this in vertical format and it has suffered a bit in the conversion process - but I hope the sound is quite good, at least if you're into Kolomnas! Actually, listening again, it looks as though the sound has suffered a bit too. Oh well, at least I've saved you a stiff neck!
In other words, ignore the visuals and just enjoy the thrash...
