Kaboom! What made Alcos so smoky? As a Brit, I'd really like to know..
|
Smoke is from a cold loco ... Alco's also suffer from turbo lag. When engineer moves the throttle up, the turbo needs to come up to speed and you get black smoke.

Good luck to people inside roundhouse!

I love the smell of diesel in the morning!
