Would have been nice if he would have spent more time filming them switching.

Hard working Alco is the best sound in railroading

[@kens.3729]

It’s ALL about Switching because without Switching, there are NO Trains to Move Across the U.S. 😬👍🙏

[@iusetano]

The ALCO Railroad

[@Shellyafter]

Alcos against the beautiful Steamtown blue sky, nice!

[@delbennett4534]

Switching, we call it shunting

[@melvindurslag4460]

All ALCO all the time!

[@keithfurlow5024]

Great catch! Those Alcos sound a bit like GE’s!

[@Trains21]

Yes they do

[@scottgiles7546]

251 predates FDL's. So GE's sound like ALCO's.....🙂

[@buccaneerrailfanning1776]

Awesome stuff!

[@Trains21]

Thanks!

[@richintalent]

Why do Alcos always sound like they're about to fall apart?

[@Conrail76]

They are, gotta love ALCo's

[@TrainTrackTrav]

To make a very long answer short, the firing sequence of the cylinders. That, and they're around 60 years old.
