It really AMAZES me how these things are able to work with all of that damned "clanging" and knocking. Sounds like they're falling apart, but that's just part of Diesel process. Then, all the plumbing fittings. With household plumbing, you mis-tighten a joint and water or gas goes all over the place. Yet, they get all these fittings to fit tightly together.

it is the compressed air "air dryers", also called "spitters" that are clearing themselves from condensation water. they are on the other units that are running already. Moisture in the airlines is a terrible thing, can cause "signal" or brake control failure. RR airbrake lines are "failsafe" air to release, ie if they lose air, the breaks apply

Well your somewhat right, but it does it to drain moisture from air system, so the "automatic drains" keep constantly popping-off. and reaching max pressure would be bad J1 safety would kick in, air comp comes on off via mag valve or governor via pilot line from Main res tank. Hate them GE's, their a piece of junk, I hate working on them, prefer EMD any day of the week. And yes layshaft would be right there over main gen drive connected to governor via shaft. also ur start button is backwards.
