more good scubbers than down at the local tennis club.

No diesel is clean running under heavy load.

Plus they are two stroke for proper smoke shows look up the deltic Alcoa or even ge

@@cidertom5140 gotcha! all those heavy trucks I thought were diesel are actually electric. righttttt

All turbocharged units, but they sound damn good!

@@NS_5350I think it might be the cooling fans you can hear.

Them and Reading & Northern are easily the best

@@NS_5350 100%

The built in mic on my Panasonic camcorder does a pretty good job with sound!

At the end is Rook Yard in Pittsburgh area so I would guess west of there between Ohio and Pittsburgh

A leasing company that leases locomotive power

Its a switch signal indicator so this how it goes: green = mainline Yellow = siding and switching red = nothing

Avella Pennsylvania

Avella, Rea, Hickory, and Sygan in that order

Notch 8 refers to the maximum speed of the locomotive's engine. Most are about 1,000 RPM. It doesn't necessarily mean the locomotive will be going fast, because it depends on the weight of the train and the gradient that it's operating on.

Diesel Locomotive Throttles only have 8 Positions...Notch 1= Lowest Throttle Position and Idle to Notch 8=Wide Open

@@billconserva1461 The 645s high RPM is 903

Close enough for a ball park answer.@@davidlabar-jn2ig
