I myself have always been an EMD fan, and I particularity enjoy the sound of a prime motor starting up. Though there are a number of start up videos on youtube and elsewhere, I personally have yet to see one that goes through the full process needed to start an (older) EMD unit. A couple of weeks ago, with the help of Stan Patterson, (president of the WIR) I filmed and posted a video showing and explaining the full start up process for starting the prime motor on Washington and Idaho GP30M #20:

I also got a "bonus" video that day showing the inside of one of the WIR's F Units, MRLX 6304:
