class 50 diesel train cold start

not as much smoke as i expected it seems to have a preheater of sorts ,i could hear a low roaring noise and a heat haze comming from the stack before it started up.

@smiffy1071 50s do not have an electric oil priming pump. They have a hand oil pump. Could have heard the fuel lift pump. Priming the fuel system...
