Very neat! I love old stuff like this its really a shame cause there isnt anything like it today, There is one behind my house thats been sitting for 30 years and its shame I go up there all the time cause im so fascinated with it
@alco424 Oh, I get it! I was hearing the diesel engine and the turbocharger whine and thinking it was the machine making the sound. It must be the generator lugging down as it starts to take the next step. That explains why it sounds like a Caterpillar engine rather than a slow speed Fairbanks-Morse.

@trackhoe23 These drags are electric, so the truck out front is pulling a genset to allow them to move them without dealing with power cables.

What's the truck leading the way for? I thought if it's a diesel machine it would be self contained.
