ALCO S2 stop and go

[@dougkathydavies3024]

Ya just gotta love that open-end wrench!!!

[@GordonBlack-t9c]

Open end wrench. SPANNER !

[@UnstoppableRailfan]

“That was a perfect stop I didn’t even have to walk” 😂

[@W7DSY]

Man, do I love the "make-do" look of the combination wrench in place of a lever on that one control. Classic short-line fix.

[@philliplee980]

Such beautiful sound music to my ears love the alcos huge fan of them

[@lineshaftrestorations7903]

Best reverse lever I've seen in years.😊

[@ajfedor]

LOVE IT! Boy does that bring back memories. What I wouldn't give to run one again!

[@ajfedor]

A.J. Fedor 1 second ago Other than the fact that this one is kinda beat up ('course, I was running these things fifty years ago) the sounds (the rattles and noise) are right on the money . This unit was actually configured to run as multiples. The standard ones didn't have the "step throttle" and had a "multi-position" forward/reverse selector below the gauge panel facing the engineer. Thanx again for the "look back" :o)

great-sounding old loco

[@stevenschiffel4294]

To have that much power in your hands must be awesome!

[@alcopower5710]

Gotta love the sound of an Alco ✅

[@freymaster4449]

Man that turbo!

[@railfanlynx]

I rode with him, cool dude

[@digitalshackonthelane]

loving the "wrench".... FRA approved for sure!

[@rearspeaker6364]

Pittsburgh Freight Special!

[@digitalshackonthelane]

@@rearspeaker6364 Props though for the meticulus and very prominently placed wooden log book box! Fashioned with the finiest of staples! Witha bottle of water sweating all over it... Nice.

[@Простоканалспростовидео]

Приятно слышать этот рокот

[@Zheleznodorogniy]

Похож на работу дизеля ПД1М.

[@Простоканалспростовидео]

@@Zheleznodorogniy Логично, ведь Д50 скопирован с дизеля ALCO

[@ajfedor]

I see by the "step-throttle" that's a "multiple control unit"

[@awhitva]

Did you notice the engineer using a wrench because they broke a handle off and can't find a replacement?

[@awhitva]

this video shows a run-by of the same unit and you get to hear the horn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqmYn6l9admBoc0

[@ajfedor]

Sure did. :o)

[@fhfxtyrj6621]

Зафыркал как наш тэм-2😂

[@awhitva]

apparently, they are really similar!

[@Zheleznodorogniy]

Дизель работает будто на ТЕМ1 или ТЕМ2.

[@awhitva]

I understand Macedonian, so what you wrote is somewhat understandable to me - I recognize diesel and work (rabota) and "na" and "ili" ("according to," and "or"), but what is Tem 1 and 2? Team1? Team 2? Please clarify.

[@Zheleznodorogniy]

@@awhitva the operation of the engine of this diesel locomotive is similar in sound to the operation of the Russian shunting diesel-locomotive TEM2. Understand?

[@Zheleznodorogniy]

@@awhitva TEM2 : T-diesel-locomotive ; E- Electric transmission; M- shunting ; 2 еpisodes.

[@awhitva]

@@Zheleznodorogniy yes, now I understand very well and thank you so much for sharing. I will look for videos on the TEM1, now I am very curious. спасибо еще раз
