plus if you notice hes pulling a train up a heck of a grade, so great job to that operator for fighting through it. lol...(also glad to see someone so fascinated with this)
i still work for railserve. sometimes the industry you are switching for will only pay certain amounts of money for extra locos, fuel, etc. but most of the time its because our company doesnt give a fuck. at our site we struggle like that everyday with little 1200 switchers and 2266's sister GP. but yes, with too much load like that comes with alot of black smoke.
@HighIronofWisconsin I thought it was steam locomotive from far away.. With that Black smoke then, I realized it was an Alco Locomotive but it came close to be an EMD. Oh boy! LOL
@legsbluetrain I used to work for Railserve. The company doesn't like MUing engines together and it is also the reason their equipment is so worn down/beat up
my dad works with rail serve they use the big EMDs from CSX in Middletown,Ohio

If it weren't for the sound, I have thought they'd stuck an ALCo powerplant into that EMD what with all that thick black smoke!
