2 stroke diesel ftw!

[Kyosuke1989]

Not at all, Four stroke 72-litre V-16 MGO ;)

[steelraptor]

O wow Four stroke? Im surprised most trains out there are two strokes.

[Kyosuke1989]

Yes, maybe in US they are mostly two-strokes, but in Europe and Finland, they are mostly four-strokes :)

Pielstick?

[Kyosuke1989]

No, MGO, license-built by Tampella Oy.

Black smoke occurs when you give it high throttle under heavy load. Like if you just gave it full throttle to start moving or going up a hill you increase throttle a lot. This train was obviously running at full throttle for a little bit before it passed. Also you can see a little grey-ish smoke coming out.

@Jaymz1265 What part of "Finnish" and "Finland" did you fail to understand? Or perhaps you did not know there was a country called Finland?

Nice video. Interesting to see a Finish freight train at work but still love my Canadian trains.

@theorangelemons That 1000 HP engine is an all-rounder in Finland. (As are all Finnish railroad engines.) It will pull passenger trains in singles, and work in a 1-2-3 configuration for freight trains. There's no need for a "coast-to-coast" heavy freight ability of the U.S. engines. 3000HP is considered adequate as these engines usually ply the lightly operated routes.
