[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by APG45</i> <br /><br />I remember reading somewhere, I think it was <i>Union Pacific: Salt Lake Route</i>, that operating in arid, windy conditions caused a lot of problems with the turbine blades (sand abrasion). Combined with the inability to run them through urban areas, it meant that there were few routes they were suited for. I know I'm probably talking out my**** but how much truth is there to this? <br /> <br />electro-ortcele, there is a free .mpeg of a UP turbine on the MRR website under Resources/photos, audio, video. It will give you an idea of the sound they made at low speed. Sounds like an airplane taxiing---medium/high pitched whine. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I've seen the video, but the sound is mixed with that diesel that is behind it. <br />I've got a new pentrex video comming in a few days (UP's mighty turbines), so I guess I'll get lots of great sound recordings of it.
