5 ALCO Diesels Hit Their Train.... HARD!:

Boom!... Go the freight cars as this Delaware Lackawanna train slams into the freight cars with such force that the locomotives can be seen bobbing like dolphins.... The dispatcher in Tower 60 said over the radio that she could feel the force in there!

  • My dad was an old time railroad man in the late 40s early 50s. He said riding in the caboose could be a rough ride with some hotrod engineer's I asked him what the fireman's job was after they went to diesel and he said to "run the train while the engineer slept".

    "Dewey, where did you have that throttle?" "Notch 8, Connie."
  • @bobbender2922
    Not a good crew at all apparently this crew does not care about the equipment or about the customer's cargo they need to take some pride in their work

  • My grandad worked at Montreal Locomotive Works. Gotta love those Alcos........especially the Centuries.

    It's nice to see these old alco locomotives still in used today
  • Russia loved the ALCO RSD-1 so much they based pretty much every diesel locomotive, they ever built after it, Cowl Bodied or nor, even the newest diesels have a bit of ALCO in them!
  • @sd90mac61
    I wonder why these railcars, and locomotives have been experiencing all of a sudden separating, broken knuckles,/ couplers ect.😵
  • @brianhickey5949
    I grew up next to the ALCo facility in Schenectady, NY. I love ALCo's :) Thank you for bringing back some childhood memories!
  • God bless the Alco!!!! Makes you appreciate a quality built piece of machinery.

    Environmentalists: NOOOOO YOU CANT JUST USE U BOATS TO MOVE TRAINS, ALL THE EMISSIONS THEY PRODUCE ARE BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Railfan: Haha U boat go BRRRRRRRRRRR
  • @TrainTrackTrav
    "Um yeah... That'll do. Go ahead and stretch 'em." Holy heck! I have never see locos jump like that. That is straight up insane!
  • "The Diesels grumbled as they banged into their long heavy freight train"
  • You can hear the independents be applied after he comes off throttle. Im guessing the air didn't set as quickly as he thought it would..
  • @Hozy780
    At least he did not have broke those precious alco's or he would have been in big trouble
