  • RSD16, ALCO, 12 V engine. Nice video.

  • atractivo

  • This locomotive is from argentina, where I live. Unfortunately the trains are not in good shape in my country....

  • Worth the price of a plane ticket to Buenos Aires.

  • sounds angry i love old alcos gerat engines

  • Me too. I love how they ROAR as they start up!

  • Is that a FM/Alco 251 V12 in there?

  • Could just be fuel. Our Alco RS-2s GBW/AA 301 and 303 never smoked when we put premium diesel in em.

  • Pretty clean stack -- must be in terrific shape internally!

  • A lot of the alco's had an air starter

  • Quiet start. Must be electric. I heard an Also/MLW air starter one time and it made my ears bleed. LOL

  • Electric start yes, diesel electric, if generator is dc it is used as starter motor, a big un!!

  • YES! Turns over like a beauty, even after 40-50 years.

  • now that is a REAL LIVE train engine!!! i like that!!
