The Dash 8's have a wonderful exhaust tone, they're not as whiny as an EMD and have a great chug at lower RPM's.
It’s always a pleasure to hear an Alco airstarting! 😌
Thank you from Italy!
Nice to see that 1776 again!😊
AWESOME!! My FAVORITE Engine!
Great air starting action. Sounds like an auto shop 😅
You know what else it sounds like? czcams.com/video/DFCjTjEUTns/video.htmlsi=63CsnYUHQEJ8HuGG&t=175
Also sounds like marine engine start up
Like a 1” drive impact gun.
AWESOME!
the god of ALCOs has awakened
bask in his glory
Agreed!!
Barish main oos fan main se pani nahi jata hoga?
Hi, I'm putting together a CZcams video on the Alco centuries, would it be ok if I used some of this footage?
Yeah.
@@Alco244 Thanks!
Does this have a 251 or a 244 powerplant?
16-251F
Now try that at -40 after the units been pulled at track speed for two hours dead tow.
Wouldn't start, they'd have no water in them.
@@pootispiker2866 most crew change points had the ability to refill the units.
@@kanoraguy Fill a freezing engine block with straight water. Yep. That would have happened.
