Australian Trains : ALCO Clag !!

Alco unit 45s1 is shown as it gets 6M42 ballast train moving again after a brief stop at Kilmore East. The unit started out life in 1963 with the New South Wales Government Railways, and has since been owned by various companies. It is shown in Silverton yellow, and is on lease to El Zorro. The unit is fitted with an Alco 12-251C engine. The 45 class was one of Alco's "World Model" type loco's.

Why we love AlCo's engine song?

Forzoso arranque de esta hermosa ALCo, con su característico sonido. Muchas gracias.

[@7822welshsteam]

That's a lovely sound - kind of like a BR class 33.

[@marioguardia4535]

Hace muchos años que no escuchaba este sonido ALCO mas precisamente desde mi niñez...

Nice video Steve although I am a GM fan big time ,but if I like any locomotive from the ALCO stable it is the 45 class it looks like a 48 class on steroids!!!!!!

[@bimma320]
