GE locomotives - various sounds

A nice sunny Sunday morning 10/19/2008 found CP 9573 and CP 9726 on a southbound UP freight, waiting for permission to proceed onto BNSF trackage to take them through Spokane WA. First we hear the motor driven air compressor, and then the sounds of the FDL engine at slow idle. Notice that the 9573 has conventional trucks while the 9726 has the GE self-steering trucks. The 9726 was NOT running, but its engine room bell started ringing (00:39), stops (00:57), and then starts ringing again (01:03). At (01:20) the engine rumbles to life, snorts a bit, and blows off some air. At (02:00) the train begins to move.
