The chest pounding sound of x4 44 class Alcos in notch 8, under load is a sound that can't be surpassed👍👏

[@nigelterry9299]

Cor, what a fantastic sound! The black clagginess helps.....

[@Burgers57]

Wow that was awesome, chased train in the central west of nsw in the 80's with my old man and never saw quad 44's...thanks for the upload..

[@terryhopkins2750]

They have to be the most beautiful diesels...such an elegant design...but God they look tatty and so unloved here. Beautiful camera work as usual Bevan.

4472 looks in a bit of a state (externally), great video thanks for uploading Stewart

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Those are some ragtag units for sure. They sound glorious though!

2:53: the second locomotive beginning in the left was stopped the engine since the beginning of the route?

[@cookwithme20]

once these locomotives pulled trains between Quetta and sibi section Pakistan

[@thebops4180]

The smoke. WTF? Get those buckets of junk off the rails . . .

[@kennethjones6650]

It’s the way they were built every Alco smoked like that and the fact these old girls were still fighting is marvellous the 44s were worked hard and still pushed through and for buckets of junk maybe you should consider your comment as junk

Cracking footage from the good old days.

Да, на железных дорогах Австралии класс 44 и класс 48 были символом эпохи 50-х и 60-х годов. Очень хорошо что они ещё сохранились!

So sad, 4463 is about to be scrapped.
