Posted by Ron Cady on August 18, 2008  Mark, this has to be the most interesting photo I have ever seen of this old workhorse. Posted by Prenton on August 19, 2008  Kaboom! What made Alcos so smoky? As a Brit, I'd really like to know.. Posted by Ron Chouinard on August 19, 2008  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. Posted by Rodrigo Andreas Roesler on August 19, 2008  Good luck to people inside roundhouse!
