ALCO's with blue coaches are 😢emotion. End of an era🥺.

Most of my childhood was spent seeing these chugging ALCos!!! Nostalgic beauty!!

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.

7:22 dude was taking a shit lmao

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

Some of the sheds starring in this video has lost their Alcos😢😢😢😢😢

7:15 casual guy taking a shit.

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 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.

0:38 that sound 😊😌

That jugging sound of engine is so freakin satisfying 🤤❤️

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

The body and horn of the DMU Engine makes me mentally strong. Brilliant capturing. Bravo 👏👏👏 Huge Love from Nadia District West Bengal. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺

Now Indian railways is 85% Electrified. It's so sad that we see no such diesel Locos anymore. Maybe in remote part.

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.

Indian railways need more locos like the one in 14:50 to save the environment :P

14:50 was very very amazing

As the gallery into the hardworking alco locomotives when they were working that hard those could have been presented with a smoke show as if they were transported to the era of the locomotive builder and its Canadian subsidiary MLW were still producing steam locomotives.

हमारे भारत देश के उत्तर प्रदेश के आज़ादी के पचहत्तर (75) साल होने वाले हैं और आज तक मैलानी जंक्शन से कोई भी ट्रेन हरदोई नही आई है अब और क्या कहा जाए मेरे एक सवाल है कि क्या इस तरह से ट्रेन चल सकती है ? जैसे , 1 मैलानी जंक्शन 2 पीलीभीत जंक्शन (पीलीभीत में लोको रिवर्सल ) 3 शाहजहांपुर जंक्शन 4 हरदोई 5 लखनऊ चारबाग 6 रायबरेली जंक्शन

Glad to see these smoking Alcos are being phased out. The fumes were not fun while sitting in a compartment in a train behind one of these. Looking forward to more WAPs

The smoke comes swirling which produces that chugging sound

Nowadays people might have pseudo concerns for the excessive smoke. But these legendary machines have an inherent nostalgia and enthusiasm embedded in them. No as I travel in Indian Railways, I feel sad as I often miss the oppertunity to travel with them.

Alco locomotives are no more today...That engine sound...i really Miss it man 😔

I assume their turbos must be gummed up near solid, so not enough air is being pumped into the combustion chambers = massive over-fuelling.

Fantastic alcos they were the steam engine equivalent in 90s, loved em when I was a kid and now when I am 40 , it still makes my hair stand straight when I hear that slow thumping of engines, electric will turn to automation by 2030 no driver's, end of golden days!!

Nowadays ALCOs are fitted with microprocessor control and smoke filter which pollutes less and easy for the locopilots to operate the cockpit controls.

Best Horn and Engine Sound at 11:49

I like the chuk chuk chuk chuk😅😅 missing deseil locomotive🥺🥺

Amazing video! Great compilation and super smoke! Good work! Thumbs Up Greetings from Romania Andrew

Just wow. That’s how the engines should be. Let’s get the steam locos back as well and have these alcos along with steam locos being used for commutation. The modern age AC locos are just dopey and ennui. Whilst the steam and alco locomotives possess such grunt, swagger, the honking and chugging of these engines are too good. It’s sight to behold for all of us

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

10:00 wow jumbo with lbh coaches.

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

4:04 think that you're got stuck in the track 🥵🥵

its not a Hardcore anymore but *GODLIKE*

Air cleaning train at 15:01 haha

We had some similar ones here in Portugal in the 90s (1320 series).... the same brutal black smoke cloud

They produce so much black smoke to keep people from sleeping on the roof of trains lol

Last one🤣🤣🤣 Perfect shot video amazing 😎😎😎

The sound and smoke makes me crazy about diesel locomotives 👌👌👌👌👌

Someone taking a shit at 7:18 ?

Very old diesels needing a pit stop and CO2 admit test. Leaving a foul black cloud of smoke. India has got some Electric locos

Honking and diesel sound is unbeatable

pride has nothing to do with such smoking alcos. high time we replace them.

This is mostly turbocharger problem. Either the air filter is chocked or too much clearence between nozzle and turbine. Anyway little maintaince can solve these problems.

10:36 Retrieves my old memories.... ❤️❤️😌 WDM2A my first ever rail journey at my age of 11....

Glad to see so many ALCOs from different loco shed. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

Sou apaixonada por locomotiva

Long live ALCO power on Indian Railways. Keeps excessive overloading of the trains to a minimum by discouraging freeloaders from riding on top of the coaches.

Honestly smoke of that diseal train smell amazing .

Rare to watch a single alco pulling a rajdhani

This was the problem with ALCO 4 stroke diesels using Woodwards Governor......IR is now replacing ALCO locomotives with EMD locomotives which are 2 stroke and use Hitachi digital governors for increased load to fuel ratio.

In the US, the old ALCOS were called" honorary steam locomotives"!

They need to install smoke lifters on some of those LOL

Good that these disel Loco will soon become history.... Welcome electrification to the earliest!!!

If I could give an extra thumbs up for the last reverse video. Superb creativity!!

Brilliant footage. great collection of different diesel engines hard at work.

A very interesting video :) The amount of smoke is impressive and I like the sound of heavy diesel locomotives very much in general. I´m only sorry that in the Czech republic one doesn´t meet old diesels very often in regular operation nowadays, which is a great loss, at least for trainspotters :(

Very Very Smart bro..what a collection. .u filmed only from those angles..where there was uphill..what a patience & effort. .slaute

The Passengers: 😵‍💫☻️

I LOVE DIESEL LOCOS AND MOST WDM3A SERIES OF LOCOMOTIVE

welcome fans of -steam- diesel locamotevs welcome to the GREAT RAIL WAY SHOW

Proper diesels 😃 most old British rail diesels were smokey but not this good

Awesome! Especially the last reverse playback!

6:25 this is the extra ordinary , crazy , Mega offlink of the year 😍😍😍😚 VSKP( WDM3A ) twins with Karnataka Express Excellent captures bhai

They are trying to make their presence 🔥

So, How many of you realized that last clip was rewinded ?

My favorite diesel loco. Check out the turbo whine at 2:45. The video sound doesn't do it justice. Those ALCOs had phenomenal acceleration and you knew it was coming when those loud turbos spun up.

7:44 - my favourite. Great video.

about 7:20 you got a guy poopin.

Now 80% trains in india is electrified.

wow what a great video of alcos ! remember one thing never underestimate alco's power

I also watched this video in 2015 but , you tube again recommend after 5 years 😁😁

People having a habit of smoking must sit on the ALCO locomotives......

This shows that the diesel is not properly combusted. Low quality diesel. They should maintain only smokeless locomotives. Means other than this alco locomotives

Thanks a lot. Video clarity is superb. I pray to God to help you in bringing many such videos

Awesome! I love all the smoke in the air!

Waoooooo....and here @9.29 minutes taking the entery, Old King of Diesel Loco, legend WDM 2 Jumbo. One of the most beautiful loco in India 👍👍

When the locos accelerate they emit out the smoke like this way.

9:30, that loco looks sad.

im gonna show this at the next Greenpeace gathering...

What the heck. I know it is hard but, we need to get them better trains! We only have one planet

Awesome Capture 😎

Beutifull loco passing 😍 good efforts and thanks ❤

The smoke is pantograph to diesel engine😂😂😂😂

Gone are the days of smoking Alcos IR is moving towards total electrification

I like the sound of diesel locomotive ❤️❤️

Nostalgic ❤🔥

Awsome collection of smoking 👌

They don't fuck around with the takeoff over there! Lol

Love the 4 stroke Alco's and the old Cooper Bessemer's along with the old Murphy diesel engines. Glad to see India using these loco's. The really should see about improved diesel fuels, replacing worn injectors and even replacing air filters more often can do wonders.

So nobody gonna talk about pollution these engines are doing?

The USA made these high speed monsters for you?

Diesel locos are unmatched.

there is no thought about pollution with these train companys

My favourite

amazing work done y the compiler. Hope the Railways guys see this and feel concerned and do some thing about it. They are basically badly tuned engines.

Awesome! I like your videos

this is why because these mighty elephants pulls a very heavy load and not like other countries just 4 boxes.real lions.
