Starter motors and batteries....the unsung heroes of these clips!

[frumiousbandersnatch]

I love the smell of diesel in the morning.

[michaelgl]

I do hope someone is showing this video to Greta.

[CarsandEngines]

Do you like these Locomotive Starts? :)

[keitheglon]

Just like our modern day class 70's! 😅😂 love it

[JimmieBrown-sgfq]

Reminds me of my X waking up in the morning 😂😂😂.

[ibelieveyou]

Came here looking for the thumbnail loco, left, after looking, crying my eyes out.

[stuartdavies]

There is nothing like the smell of diesel in the morning. 😅

[chloeew]

The starter cranks in these things are Legendary.😊😊

[barryphillips]

🤣 some of these older diesels do not like being woken up in cold early mornings, glow plugs Help, some i think use decompression to help spin it over faster!!

[illbehim]

And they said STEAM locomotives were bad for the environment💀

[davemanone]

the good old days of diesel smoke, here's to you miss Thornberg!

[zachmoyer]

I'm honoured to say i am a very proud worker of the repair servicr of these magnificent machines 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼i am blessed

While the German designed diesel engine was the beginning of this story, the US took it and ran with it, developing the things that made it viable, such as lubricating oils, which prior to those developments, handicapped the diesels reliability. The US also developed and perfected the concept of electric propulsion from the diesel generator set, especially with axle mounted traction motors, while the rest of the world fiddled with mechanical and hydraulic drives. The smoky locos in this video, would clear up upon the engine reaching temperature and the supercharger supplying the needed air. Prior to the high cost of fuel, most RR's started their diesels in the fall and let them running all winter. . This promoted long life by not having to stop and restart them, waiting for the engine to come up to temperature to operate efficiently. EMD division of GM, the number one maker of diesel electric locos in the world, GM decided they needed to get rid of EMD and sold it to another company. This was all at the behest of just one stockholder. Not sure why the #1 producer of locomotives would decide they needed to get out of the biz. The loco technology today, has made these engines fuel efficient, with supposed bad greenhouse exhaust gases greatly reduced, and will be continued in use to move everything this country needs and lives on for the foreseeable future. Convert one of the modern engines HP into watts, multiply that by the average number of locos in the current accepted practice of train lengths, 6-8, then figure out how many solar panels and batteries you would need to make it a real electric train. They wouldn't get far out of the yard before needing a recharge.

12 polar bears, 4 glaciers and a Greta Thunberg were harmed during the making of this video!

[mikeklinger]

Some tree hugging Californian is crying watching these 😂😂😂

[LooKey]

I think they should go see VW get those emissions looked at 😂😂

[freddobbs]

This will stir up the climate activist.

[colvinator]

Fantastic ! I share your enthusiasm and joy. The people should send a copy of the video to the grumpy Thunberg foundation. Thanks a lot. Colin UK 🇬🇧

[spgwgzo]

God I love the smell of raw fuel mixed with plumes of smoke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
