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.

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

Why we love AlCo's engine song?

[@marioguardia4535]

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

[@7822welshsteam]

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

[@nigelterry9299]

Nice! I like a spot of clag......

[@PolarBear71169]

45s1 has been renumbered back to its original number 4532? and is now in use with SSR

[@PaulMauser]

I forgot there used to be American clag too. At least someone still uses them.

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!!!!!!

[@nomon95]

the 80%of Alcos smoke a lot,,except the model RSD 16.Bad charger,,lazy and lag.

[@nomon95]

There is a gradient,,,is this dont exist,the train move more faster.

[@bimma320]

nomon95 it is ballast train, it would have been discharging ballast into the track at that speed

[@dituwonga]

Formerly 4532 and 3532. Wish they would renumber it back.

[@Xyb3rTeCh]

That ALCO is just awful! Fuckin pollution from that inefficient diesel engine.
