Hardcore Smoking and Chugging ALCO - INDIAN RAILWAYS

Показать описание
Hardcore chugging and smoke emitting Alcos are always exciting to watch. The dark black smoke coming out covers the entire blue sky and makes a nostalgic ambience of Old school Diesel and Steam locos which used to make their presence felt by their extreme chugging and smoke emission. Now as Electric locomotives have taken over IR these scenarios are rare to watch . One such scene was witnessed by me luckily as I was returning from Kharagpur . As the HWH WDS6 was busy shunting the empty rake of Mithila Express i was standing in gate to watch the mighty Alco doing it's best in her last days before retirement . Suddenly it started chugging and emitting thick black smoke. I hurriedly took out my camera and started recording this blissful sight . The immense smoke just covered the area with that lovely smell of diesel thus reminiscing older days of our great Indian Railways ....

It was a sight to cherish forever... 😍😍😍

Interesting story. I wanted to ask a question about black smoke, but found the answer in the comments. Thank you for the video!

Yes this is a common phenomenon when a sudden overload occurs in a Diesel engine. This can be induced by sudden increase in throttle by the driver, which forms a rich fuel-air ratio. As a result a part of the fuel remain unburnt hence the intense soot formation. Generally clogged fuel injectors within the engine are behind this. As the engine responds to the increased load demand, the soot formation subsides. 
Situations like these can be averted with proper engine maintenance together with practical load allocation to the locomotive and appropriate driving procedure.

This is smoke bellowing as if on fire!! Very rare to see these days?? Earlier the baldies which ran in Ghat section and Konkan railway use to smoke like this but they are almost gone these days!!
In real sense a very stand out depiction!!
All the best!!

Poor maintenance and issues in turbocharger is the reason for the thick layer of smoke.
