Wie sagt mein Lungenarzt immer? "Und jetzt Luft holen! Tief Luft holen! Und ausatmen! Mein Gott! Was rauchen Sie denn?"

Most ALCOs smoke like this normally. These engines were made in the 50s and 60s, so carbon footprints were a joke back then. This is mainly caused by the lack of air from the turbo not being spooled, and a very high throttle position. Once the turbo gets to speed, it should settle down. These engines need some serious work, but the smoke may never go away completely, but it may be diminished significantly.

I love these locos, the more they smoke the better!

I am very fortunate that I have travelled in steam locomotive and diesel locomotives when I was studying in Burdwan University.

The body and horn of the DMU Engine makes me mentally strong.
Brilliant capturing.
Bravo 👏👏👏

It’s all caused because of turbo lag. These aren’t Indian build locomotives, they’re American and Canadian, from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. They could easily rebuild them, but as far as I know, they’re probably being scrapped. Still, in my honest opinion it looks pretty cool.

I miss ALCO

I never enjoyed working with ALCO's...especially in the winter.  By the time I got around to running them the ones in our fleet were 25 years old and living on borrowed time and parts.  but once you got them started...by god could they pull.

Anyone that has ever operated an ALCo D/E knows this is just their nature. They have terrible turbo lag due to the non mechanical turbocharger. Once the prime mover gets up in RPM's the turbo is way more efficient, and the engine produces less smoke. These engines smoked like this straight from the factory. I'd be more concerned with the truck hunting the locomotive is doing at 1:50

8:08 The shortest train in India. Great video! :D

Seems like there could be several reasons for the smoke. Alcos tend to smoke, poor maintenance, throttling up too soon, using high sulfur diesel fuel or asking to much of the locomotive. Thanks for sharing.
