5 ALCO Diesels Hit Their Train.... HARD!

Watch in HIGH DEFINITION!

5 ALCO Diesels Hit Their Train.... HARD!:

Boom!... Go the freight cars as this Delaware Lackawanna train slams into the freight cars with such force that the locomotives can be seen bobbing like dolphins.... The dispatcher in Tower 60 said over the radio that she could feel the force in there!

My dad was an old time railroad man in the late 40s early 50s. He said riding in the caboose could be a rough ride with some hotrod engineer's
I asked him what the fireman's job was after they went to diesel and he said to "run the train while the engineer slept".

"Dewey, where did you have that throttle?"

"Notch 8, Connie."

My grandad worked at Montreal Locomotive Works. Gotta love those the Centuries.

Not a good crew at all apparently this crew does not care about the equipment or about the customer's cargo they need to take some pride in their work

I grew up next to the ALCo facility in Schenectady, NY. I love ALCo's :) Thank you for bringing back some childhood memories!

It's nice to see these old alco locomotives still in used today

God bless the Alco!!!! Makes you appreciate a quality built piece of machinery.

Hit so hard water came out the radiator…. That’s now you break a crank.

Holy Smoke..!! that'd be the Railway version of a 'Swift' truck driver hooking up his semi trailer...

[TrainTrackTrav]

"Um yeah... That'll do. Go ahead and stretch 'em."


Holy heck! I have never see locos jump like that. That is straight up insane!

[simiansaiyan]

I can’t wait to actually start working for the rails

Russia loved the ALCO RSD-1 so much they based pretty much every diesel locomotive, they ever built after it, Cowl Bodied or nor, even the newest diesels have a bit of ALCO in them!

[ericperkins]

No horn, no broken knuckles? This is what we do when we think no one is watching. . . .

[jarrodwoley]

That was a good coupling. Anyone that says that's rough, has never been on a train crew.I have done, seen, and felt a lot harder. The rule was 4 mph to cars and 3 mph to another locomotive.

As a former Scrantonian (now in AZ), It’s definitely Steamtown, located behind the (now mostly closed) Steamtown Mall.

You can hear the independents be applied after he comes off throttle. Im guessing the air didn't set as quickly as he thought it would..

0:33 look at 3643's radiator, is that water or coolant jump out when it hit the car?

[daskriegsman]

Please tell me im not the only one who notices the steam locomotive in the bottom right corner right?

[OptimusPrime]

"The Diesels grumbled as they banged into their long heavy freight train"

[sdmac]

I wonder why these railcars, and locomotives have been experiencing all of a sudden separating, broken knuckles, / couplers ect.😵
