It’s always a pleasure to hear an Alco airstarting! 😌
Thank you from Italy!

This and modern ge’s from the 90’s like the dash 8 and 9’s always sound nice starting up, something about the clunking sound the cylinders make is music to my ears

Great air starting action. Sounds like an auto shop 😅

Dodge that black rain! I haven’t done that in a while.

😂. Sorry for laughing, but the way it sounded starting up, I thought it was a tool for loosening/tightening lug nuts connected to an air compressor

Hi, I'm putting together a YouTube video on the Alco centuries, would it be ok if I used some of this footage?
