ALCo Vs EMD : Indian Railway Locomotives

Catch yet another ALCo versus EMD comparison between the
Twin WDG-3A 's (2 X 3300 HP) chugging ALCo's (American Locomotive Company ) versus a Single WDG-4 (4500 HP) EMD ( Electro-Motive Diesel ). Both the trains are of 24 Coaches each and captured exactly at the same location where the locomotives start to notch up belching out smoke moving at an average speed with in the station Block limit.

Interestingly both the trains were towed by the 'G- series' freight Locomotives WDG-3A / WDG-4 , which isn't their regular powers. So which one impressed you the most ?

Trains captured :

12628 NEW DELHI - BANGALORE CITY , KARNATAKA EXPRESS
12976 JAIPUR - MYSORE , SUPER FAST EXPRESS .

Location : BYPL / Baiyappanahalli . Karnataka. South Western Railways

No comparison Buddy. The jumbo jet of the EMD, its brute power are fantastic. The Alco has its own charm--Chugging. As a railfan no discrimination.

[SudhindraSrikanth]

Super captures! I will always go for the EMD! I do like ALCo's equally! I wasn't expecting an EMD for JP-MYS!

the shaktis were literally toying with the load..but have to say....the WDG4 hunk impressed me...awesome acceleration!!!

[adithyavaidyanathan]

superb! Although have a soft corner for ALCos, the single hunk impressed me more this time

[iusetano]

The future is with the WDG-4's but I just cannot stop watching the WDG-3's. Excellent video.

Here is the adventage fron 2 strokes engine:less friction, , , , more efficience, , , more acceleration of the engine, , , better turbocharger response at low rpm, , , , one Emd =2 Alcos... but at high rpm, , , this difference is less, , , the Alcos at high rpm engine, , his efficiency is better..and less smoke, , , ,

GE stands for good employers you will never be out of work while you use GEs they tend to fail a lot !!!

[ankushhait]

Great acceleration by both
One WITH smoke -- ALCo
Other WITHOUT smoke -- EMD

Therefore EMD wins
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[kantharajclement]

both the alco and emd is winner because
alco;can able to smoke and chug 
emd:different sounds when arriving and departing can see smoke in some emd, s 
example:video:emds of indian railways

[kantharajclement]

both the alco and emd.s produces 
alco;emd, s and their horns {in different types}
emd, s:they have sharp and blur horns

[Purpledemond]

EMD is a modern loco whereas ALCo is very old so EMD is best...

[davidboydell]

No contest Alco's are junk compared to EMD's. The proof is in the pudding just look at how many GP 9'S are in service today compared to RS 3'S.

[BNSFGuy]

how can india build spaceships if they cant even keep a railroad in good condition?

[michaelowen]

wait, alco locomotive driver like woman!
