i need that turbo for my durumax!!

I love old Alcos.

Was the pre-oiler pump used before it was barred over? If not, how were the bearings first oiled?

Wow, that doesn't sound bad after all those years. Alcos have always sounded a bit strange to me.

Thank you for posting this.

I LOVE IT!!!! That was AWESOME!!! 😍

Awsome😊

And the generator why was used?

These things never stop

Look, another way to transport a railcar without locomotive (Literally): with the feets as a skate.

Yes this is very cool as the sounds are important. What is the current status of this unit?

Firing on two cylinders out of six…sounds like a car I owned.

Where is she right now this alco?

Look at all that smoke that’s generated from this locomotive

Hey, I've found one of these compressors. Do you know anyone who needs one?

man that runs so smooth and quite! All at the expense of weight, but its so beautiful to look at and see its operations, Oilers, oiled machine running quite stress free.

Such a low idle 🤤

You just fired up a museum

Maize Factsheet 2021” also lists the CP policy “not to encourage planting in mountainous areas or conserved forest areas”. The document say all the right things, in the usual corporate gobbledegook, but the proof is in the pudding and that proof floats across the skies of northern and northeastern Thailand every day during the annual crop-burning season, roughly from January to April each year. Inconveniently, the season fits in with the lighter north-easterly airflow, the reversal of the wet season monsoon, which blows the smoke and air pollution south into central Thailand, Bangkok, and sometimes even further south. The previously lush, green mountainous regions of northern Thailand turn into a choking hell from the maize, sugar and rice plantation burn-offs. Despite CP’s carefully curated words, the problems in the north becomes worse each year

What type of engine does it have?

The only thing that wreck generates is complaints

Hiss, hiss, *woof!*

❤

I use to run a lot of these types on PC in Northern Jersey.

A CP ALCO? Huh.

Does CP roster any Alcos at all anymore??

I worked for the CPR maintenance of way in 81-85 and I used motorcars with these engines everyday. I ran one once for a mile and a half with a train not too far behind with a I think broken crankshaft and it still kept running. We had one foreman took the cylinder head off of his section motorcar and had the head machined down 0.03" and that thing would hit 50 miles an hour. It was terrifying. You felt like you could just fly off of the track going though switches.

Awesome, nice to see an old Alco s2 in running condition. Hellfire at 3:02!.

MLW

That oughta drive the global temperature up another degree

Hey this was posted on my birthday !

Will see ever see the rails again

That loco was prolly pushed there and left set until the guys retired and the paperwork of what was wrong with it got lost lol

Beautiful

Will this engine be restored to operation

This is why they call the diesel locomotives from ALCO an honorary steam locomotive.

And where can I find an oiler ? Brass on top of head..

I just acquired one of these.. what’s it’s value?

Quatu e esimoto

When all else fails give her a snort of ether.

Zazur Whoops

Zazur Alco

Awesome! Love the sound of these old relics. Always seen them pulling cars and have a sound all their own

Overheard: "give'er, eh?"

my favorite diesel locomotive

some people: Wow, that runs terribly. Anyone who's into trains or old diesel engines: Nah, it's just waking up.

ok

Do you have any information on the ride in coach such as builder or dimensions?
