THAT A SMALL FM ENGINE

1:53, I've always loved that noise

The first 17 seconds are good . . . before that goddamn bell starts ringing.
-
think that bell is fast enough? :P

I think the modern builds have modern piston and liner types so there is less chance of liners fracturing and partial seizure near exhaust ports.
-
that must be the same for many switchers as they all come with either this truck or the Blunt type in america.

You can still get engines for these from F-M built from the ground-up. Very little has changed in these engines since the 1940s when they were first made. They serve as backup generators for nuclear power plants all over the country.

I used to switch with one of these in the early seventies at Nahant Yard in Davenport, Iowa. They rode like they did'nt have springs! I'm not sure if this particular engine is one I worked with. I could tell many stories.

Oops I meant 1518. IRM also has C&NW 1518, oddly coincidentally numbered first GP-7, first GP of all.

I think the bell ringer is just out of whack and that's not some weird way FM's sounded. BTW that SP engine you see glimpses of on the right is 1513, the first SD-7, first SD of all.
