Only in Russia - Diesel Locomotive Cold Start on -30°C

Only in Russia, Cold Start Diesel Locomotive

SUB for more videos ;)

[jackansi]

One owner! Well treated, garage kept! Only a slight knock on cold starts. No low-ballers!

This loco is made in Czechoslovakia, not Russia. These engines (K6S230DR with bore 23 cm) are known for a bit more difficult cold starts. There are also locos with larger engines K6S310DR with bore 31 cm, I wouldn't be surprised, if they had generally easier cold starts. Obviously, this engine started with no pre-heating. But I understand, an American would get more views, if the name of the video showing some funny or failing technology includes the word "Russia", despite the fact it has nothing to do with Russia. :-)

Some say it was an active volcano that day but few know, it was just Dimitry and his Diesel loco starting up.

Hungarian class M41 diesel loco often does the same when it is a bit cold. :D

[truckerkevthepaidtourist]

it starts a whole lot better cold than those English 50 series deltecs

[Tibb]

This is why they let them idle overnight.

I wanna put my face in the exhaust and inhale those smokes. Bet it smells amazing

[adriandyrland]

Loud knock sound coming from cold valves? I notice a lot more exhaust coming when knock sound is present?

[getdusty]

It sounded like someone was standing by the side rails hitting them with a pry bar!!

[steyr]

The knoking sound is coming from bad/too cold valves?

Zimmerwald erkennt man auch vom Stockhorn

[АлександрЛапченко-не]

It is SCODA T458 loco! Not Russa! YANKY GO HOME!

[thinghammer]

Listen to that whine when it finally fires. Creepy

[НурлыбекМухамедрахимов]

Походу компрессии нет надо по ведру масло в каждый горшок!
